The market already pays up for this art: Scizor (Reverse Holo) from Aquapolis books $8,925 in PSA 10 on PriceCharting, which anchors the value component near the top of the tracker. The forums are silent on the name right now, which caps the score; everything above comes from measured market behavior rather than conversation.
