(For what its worth, top live-streaming card seller Rene Nezhoda, of Storage Wars fame, had this to say about eBay Live when I interviewed him about his business on Whatnot, where he sells $15 million to $18 million a year in sports cards
This might suggest the card deserves an even higher spot on this list
PuPu UFO looks incredibly mediocre to me, and Im only hedging with the rating because the ability to play a 4-drop on turn 3 is extremely powerful, even when done inefficiently
These Japan Showcase printings also have a small chance of being fracture foil printings
Key Takeaway (Not Financial Advice): Collectors should focus on artist-led Special Illustrations and scarce chase variantsthese pieces (often $50$100+ and up to rare high-ticket SIRs) combine iconic character appeal, renowned illustrators, and limited supply, making them the strongest long-term value and most consistent performers among Ascended Heroes cards
Im comfortable lumping them together since the legends matter part of these lands is more of an afterthought
