KING Cricket Soup

Price Rationale

KING Cricket Soup is a scarce 2019 SuperRare XCOPY 1/1 with clean primary-era provenance, but it has almost no direct current price discovery: one exact-token sale at 1.3 ETH / $238.30 on 2019-10-30, no OTC history, no current best bid, no candidate benchmark set, and no grail flag. The four appraisers cluster around 55-75 ETH for liquidity/cycle/canon and 120 ETH from comparable sales. I give most weight to the liquidity and cycle views because any real exit must overcome absent bid support and a non-clearing 20,000 ETH ask, while still recognizing that the supplied XCOPY 1/1 market snapshot shows many non-grail 2019 works repriced far above their original low-ETH sales. A 75 ETH fair value sits above stale primary-sale evidence and below the stronger 100-300 ETH works with fresher execution or clearer benchmark support.

What Caps The Price

The 120 ETH comparable-sales view is useful as an upper anchor but overshoots the base case for this exact work because the packet supplies no recent exact-token sale, no bid, no OTC sale, no grail/canon flag, and zero outgoing candidate benchmarks. The 20,000 ETH ask is explicitly rejected as owner anchoring rather than market-clearing evidence. Without stronger public-standing evidence or live demand, moving materially above the 75-125 ETH zone would rely too much on broad XCOPY prestige rather than supplied token-specific support.

What Supports The Price

The 1.3 ETH 2019 sale and the lowest stale nearby marks understate current fair value because they predate the later repricing visible across the supplied XCOPY one-of-one snapshot. The work remains an early SuperRare XCOPY 1/1, held continuously since the original sale, and the snapshot includes non-grail 2019 works with later clearing evidence well above 50 ETH. The 55 ETH cultural-canon appraisal is therefore treated as a defensible low-side view, not the central mark, and a collapse toward the original sale is rejected.
