1,000the game always paysNobody currently has both a buy order and a listing on this card, so there is no honest price to quote.
It is our own score for how good a card is. Rather than trust the number the game prints on the front, it reads the card's actual ratings — power, contact, fielding and the rest — and weighs them the way the game appears to. It runs past 100 because those underlying ratings do.
