07Why Collectors Want It

  • Skyridge (2003) was the last WotC-era (e-Card) set and is famously short-printed; its reverse holos are scarce.
  • The reverse foil drives the ~$64 value.
  • Skyridge's print difficulty keeps Gem-Mint copies scarce.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

10Grading and Population

Low Gem-Mint population — Skyridge reverse foil grades tough.

Other graders: PSA dominates the graded population.
