I know two friends… who would absolutely lynch you for doing this.
Anyway, it has been fun following them and occasionally ask “whats this card worth?” and general answer has been 5-50€ a card. The cards can be worth more than literal money.
Because it’s the most powerful card in the 30 years the game has been around and the 1st printing (alpha) was very limited so there are not very many in existence.

The problem is that this specific card is worth 5.000-18.000$

No, I do not know why
18 grand is a steal. Lotus can be much more in decent condition. The depiction in the Post is worth 1 - 2 Teslas.
