Manatees ACEOs are a concentrated market. A handful of sellers own most of the listings, so the price you see is really their price. Breaking in takes a card that stands apart, not one that competes on volume. Right now 8 sellers are listing, 75% of them with a single card up. The top seller holds 42.9% of what is listed.

The middle of the market sits at $6.99. Most cards list between $6.99 and $12. Over the last 14 days the typical price has held steady around $6.99. Price inside that band unless you have a clear reason to sit above it: signed, numbered, or a name collectors already chase.

Almost nobody signs their cards here, so a signature is an easy way to stand apart.

You will not win this one on price. Win it on the card.
