The full walkthrough has every step, and ticks off the ones you have already done.
Everything else the ranking turned up, and what the bar has been passing lately.
Calls already made and frozen at publication. A record of what the bar has been passing, not a list of things to buy now — these listings may be gone.
Every call, with how it aged, on the record page.
The strongest cards left in each price band once everything above is taken.
Cheap asymmetric bets. The player is the risk here, not the price.
The people, ranked as people. Nothing in this panel prints a card price.
Our all-round read on the player — age for the level, the season line, and how they compare to everyone else at that level. Nothing here is a card price.

Why now
0.976 OPS while far younger than the level
Trajectory
Form 90/100 against his own recent baseline. Readiness 78/100 — how close he is to a call-up, which is usually when a card jumps.
Best card of his on the board
Nothing of his is listed on the board today. That is a real answer, not an empty one — the search page will run the whole market against his name.
Primary risk
Nothing structural. The risk here is the ordinary one: most prospects do not become major leaguers.
Deal Sniper reads prospect trajectory, live Bowman listings and real transaction data to surface cards where player, card and price line up — and when nothing clears the bar, it says so instead of filling itself. How we score
Two gates, both required. Underpriced means at least 15% below the recency-weighted median of what copies actually sold for — asking prices are never comps, and a card nobody has sold recently cannot pass, however cheap it looks. Likely to make it means 5.5/10 or better on how far up the ladder the player already is, how young he is for that level, whether he's producing, and whether he's a pitcher.
Every score on a card is an ordering, not a probability. There is no backtest here and no outcome data to calibrate one, so the only percentage we print about the $1,000 question is where a card sits among the cards on this board today — a statement you can check by scrolling. Bear, base and bull are multiples of a measured fair value; a card we can't price today gets no future prices either.
