Panini Prizm · /25 chrome parallel · Shattered ice design · about two years
This is the parallels entry for Cracked Ice — one of 75 card types rated on appreciation, liquidity, accessibility and risk instead of being given one vague grade.
Both of the upside numbers are strong here — appreciation 88, liquidity 72. That pairing is rare enough to be the reason this entry exists, and rare enough that the price normally reflects it.
Accessibility of 12 is the catch. That score tracks whether you can buy near MSRP or you're already paying a premium to someone else, and at 12 you are paying up. A card with real upside bought at double MSRP is a worse purchase than an ordinary one bought at retail.
Set against the 12 parallel card types scored here, its appreciation of 88 ranks 3rd of 12, liquidity 72 ranks 9th, accessibility 12 ranks 10th, and risk 32 is the 5th-lowest. The closest thing to it on the numbers is Gold /10, which scores 85 and 60 on the same two axes — if you're weighing one against the other, the difference is in the reasoning rather than the scores.
Two years gives the situation time to develop past its first impression, which is usually when the price is set by whoever shouted loudest. It also means two years of not touching it, including through the stretch where it looks wrong.
At 32, this is one of the calmer entries in here. Read that as relative: the floor under any card is whatever the next person will pay, and that number can move a long way in a month.
Every entry gets four separate scores instead of one grade, because a single grade hides the thing you needed. Full explanation in the guide: what Kabooms, Downtowns and Color Blasts are worth.
