Downtown, filed under inserts. Scored on four axes, because a type that gains value but can't be sold quickly is a different proposition from one you can move in a weekend.

Both of the upside numbers are strong here — appreciation 84, liquidity 85. That pairing is rare enough to be the reason this entry exists, and rare enough that the price normally reflects it.

Accessibility of 25 is the catch. That score tracks whether you can buy near MSRP or you're already paying a premium to someone else, and at 25 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 14 insert card types scored here, its appreciation of 84 ranks 4th of 14, liquidity 85 ranks 2nd, accessibility 25 ranks 9th, and risk 35 is the 3rd-lowest. The closest thing to it on the numbers is Stained Glass, which scores 78 and 72 on the same two axes — if you're weighing one against the other, the difference is in the reasoning rather than the scores.

A one-year horizon means you're betting on a single body of work — one season, essentially. That's a much narrower bet than a career, and it should be sized like one.

At 35, 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.

How to read these four numbers

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.
