Midori Harada: A 0.83x Discount Sitting on a $2,020.10 Card
The desk pulls up Midori Harada's catalog and finds a body of work priced below the market average despite headlining with a four-figure chase card.
KEY POINTS
- ›Midori Harada trades at a 0.83x premium across 353 tracked cards
- ›Priciest tracked card: Gengar & Mimikyu GX at $2020.10
Midori Harada has 353 cards on the books. Across all of them, the artist premium reads 0.83x, meaning the catalog trades under the broader market average, not over it. That's the interesting part before we even get to the list.
The top of the stack doesn't look like a discount bin. Gengar & Mimikyu GX from Team Up, an Ultra Rare, sits at market $2020.10. Nothing else on the top-cards list comes close, but the next tier still holds real money: Forretress from Skyridge at $229.99, Eevee from Aquapolis at $220.00, Scyther, also Aquapolis, at $199.99, and Pikachu from FireRed & LeafGreen at $199.33.
Rounding out the top eight: Gengar from Arceus at $186.27, Blaziken from Emerald at $185.00, and Magikarp δ from Holon Phantoms at $177.90.
Worth flagging: four of those eight are Common rarity. A Common trading between $177.90 and $220.00 is not normal card economics, it's artist-driven demand overriding the rarity slot entirely. That's usually what an artist premium above 1x looks like. Here the premium sits at 0.83x anyway, which tells the desk the top eight are carrying a long tail of 345 other cards that trade well under market average. One artist, two very different markets: a handful of chase pieces at the top, and a deep bench that drags the aggregate down.

The 7 day loser signal, for what it's worth, has the best hit rates in the book: 44% at 7 days (109 of 249, -3.7%) and 58% at 30 days (107 of 184, -10.7%). Losers keep lagging longer than gainers keep gaining. Make of that what you will.
