Set scarcity context
Ultra Prism from the Sun & Moon series, released on 2018-02-02, includes 156 official cards and 173 total cards in the source data. Release period, set size and card mix can all change the scarcity story, so Kardive treats scarcity as context rather than a final verdict.
Start from card details, finish with ROI
Set and card context matter for Ultra Prism; scarcity should still be checked against raw value, graded outcomes and realistic grade probability.

What to verify manually
Population-style interest should be checked against current raw market value, graded sale prices, sale count and the user’s realistic grade expectation. A scarce card can still be a poor submission when only PSA 10 works.
