Buying & selling Lairon

  • Centring and surface condition matter most on Uncommon cards; a clean copy of Lairon can realise well above the $0.69 low end.
  • If you are buying to resell, model marketplace fees first — the $7.37 value is pre-fee, and the seller-fee calculator shows the net take-home per platform.
  • Track the Cardmarket 7- and 30-day averages (€0.29 and €0.21) to time entries and exits.
  • Undaunted was released in 2010; sealed product from this era is limited, so raw singles appreciate with collector demand.
