EV is a full-print-run average built from a Wildcard editorial estimate — it assumes every chase card is still sealed, and most boxes return less than the average. We do not record when this estimate was last checked — it may have been written at release and never revisited. How we rate, and what these numbers assume →
What's in the box
- 1 auto per box (on average)
- Silver Mosaics ~1:4 packs
Prizm's louder cousin — same chase structure, cheaper entry. Parallels carry the rip; the auto rarely does.

🎯 Short print Color Blast SSP ~$1,350
Look for: The player cut out against an explosion of colour filling the card. No serial number. New to Mosaic this year — it was a Prizm insert before.
Its first appearance in Mosaic, which is precisely why it gets missed here: people who know to stop on a Color Blast in Prizm are not expecting one in this product.

🎯 Short print Micro Mosaic and Stained Glass SSPs ~$151
Look for: Inserts from those two sets specifically, neither serial-numbered.
