These are offer amounts on the item price, before shipping. The hard max is a reservation price — the most you would go to on a card you already want — which is deliberately a looser question than the price at which we would call something a buy.
The strongest cards left in each price band once everything above is taken.
The strongest cards left in each band once everything above is taken. Core 1st Bowman vehicles come first — a cheap card that is not one of them is just a cheap card.
Our all-round read on the player — age for the level, the season line, and how they compare to everyone else at that level. Nothing here is a card price.

Confirmed transactions only — a listing that merely disappeared is kept as context elsewhere and never printed here as a sale. Shown for players with something on the board today, because a sale is interesting when there is a card it prices.
The right kind of card, with no confirmed sale to judge the ask against. Shown apart from the ranked shelves because a price we cannot check is not a deal we can rank.

Where it sits
certified auto, but not a confirmed 1st Bowman Chrome vehicle
Scarcity
Print run of 499. No measured premium over base yet — the print-run table is doing the pricing.
Market
thin market — thin. A theoretical multiple you cannot exit is worth less than it looks.
Our read at this price
WATCH — close on quality or price, but at least one bar is not cleared. We would call it a buy under $244.00 — on estimated evidence, so treat that as rough.
Measurements of today's actual board, not headlines. Every figure below can be counted.
0% of numbered cards on the board have a MEASURED parallel premium
0 of 131 numbered listings have enough sold evidence to price the step up from base from actual sales. The rest fall back to the print-run table, which prices scarcity and ignores whether the hobby wants that colour — the direction it errs in is understating desirable parallels.
Every priced card on the board. Right of the line: verifiably below market. Above it: an asset worth owning. The top-right quadrant is the whole product.

Deal Sniper reads prospect trajectory, live Bowman listings and real transaction data to surface cards where player, card and price line up — and when nothing clears the bar, it says so instead of filling itself. How we score
Player data. Card data. Market intelligence.
Player signal
Performance, age, level and trajectory — how the baseball is developing.
Card signal
Identity, hierarchy, parallel and scarcity — whether this is the card worth owning.
Market signal
Confirmed sales, price movement and live supply — what the hobby actually pays.
Opportunity signal
How this exact listing compares with fair value and the alternatives to it.
How a card reaches the top
Two gates, both required. Underpriced means at least 15% below the recency-weighted median of what copies actually sold for — asking prices are never comps, and a card nobody has sold recently cannot pass, however cheap it looks. Likely to make it means 5.5/10 or better on how far up the ladder the player already is, how young he is for that level, whether he's producing, and whether he's a pitcher.
Every score on a card is an ordering, not a probability. There is no backtest here and no outcome data to calibrate one, so the only percentage we print about the $1,000 question is where a card sits among the cards on this board today — a statement you can check by scrolling. Bear, base and bull are multiples of a measured fair value; a card we can't price today gets no future prices either.
