Hunted. Findable with effort — check store inventory online before you drive, and use same-day pickup to lock a find.
Prices shown are typical retail ranges, not quotes. The grade tells you how hard the hunt is, not whether your store has one this minute. For how to run the hunt itself, read the restock guide; before buying from anyone but a major retailer, run the five-point authenticity check.

“Ninety percent of its appeal is below the surface, like the joke everyone makes. Still earns the shelf.”

Feel is squish quality in hand. Heat is current collector demand. Hunt is how hard it is to find at retail. Value weighs feel against typical retail price. X is the intangible — the reason people photograph it.
Every specimen faces The Examiner, our resident AI judge, who scores it on feel, heat, hunt, value, and x-factor and leaves a remark. The Examiner is frequently harsh and occasionally wrong, which is more than most reviewers admit.
Scores and grades are editorial, they change as supply changes, and they cannot be bought. See the full registry to compare this specimen against every other variant we track.
