Overall scoring rubric

Every player uses the same six weighted pillars. The career-evidence adjustment scales only the score above a neutral 5.0, so an unfinished résumé cannot receive the same confidence as a closed career.

  • Do not pay full face-of-league pricing for weak parallels.
  • Do not ignore how much 2020 Panini supply exists.

Ant's market fools people when charisma does all the work. The right card needs to be scarce, flagship, and easy to defend if the hype cools.
