Desirability profile
Why the card is desirable — collectibility vs competitive use. This is a rating, not a price: the fair value above is set only by real comps.
The thesis — why it may be mispriced
The OP07-038 base Boa Hancock Leader — the standard animation-art portrait you get in decks, and the ~$1.50 floor of the OP07-038 stack. Cheap because it's deck-filler supply, not because Boa isn't wanted. The value in this serial is in the alt-art, parallel and special prints, not here.
- The floor: the common base Leader clears ~$1–2 raw — a playable card, not a collector chase.
- It's the same character everyone means by 'OP07-038 Boa,' but the collectible money is in the foil alt-art (~$120 raw) and the rarer specials.
- Useful only as the anchor: knowing the base is ~$1.50 is how you spot when a listing is quietly the ~$120 alt-art or the ~$12,000 special.
Biggest risk: Abundant supply keeps this pinned near $1.50; there's no scarcity thesis on the base. Model estimate, not financial advice — if you paid a premium for 'OP07-038 Boa,' verify you actually have an alt-art or special, not the base.

What would change our mind

Revise lower if
- A reprint or a new serialized run is announced
