Reading this card's numbers
Ampharos from Expedition Base Set carries a population of 858 for the Base print, with 22 PSA 10s. A 2.6 percent gem rate makes the 10 a genuine lottery: most submissions of this card do not come back gem mint, and the PSA 10 price reflects that scarcity.
The market pays hard for the top grade here: the PSA 10 runs about 52.5x the grade 9 money. That premium is the entire grading thesis on this card, and it cuts both ways if fresh tens arrive. Population growth is running 56 percent over the trailing month, so the supply side is actively expanding.
