Cheapest-Printing EV Comparison

What this compares. The normal EV prices every card at the exact printing found in the pack. The cheapest-printing EV instead prices each card at the cheapest paper, tournament-legal printing of the same name, matched to the slot's finish (foil slots use the cheapest foil or etched copy). It strips out the premium that a special printing carries and shows what the product is worth if every card were just "a copy of that card". This is useful for reprint-heavy products such as Mystery Booster sets, and as a floor when predicting a new set whose own printings have no prices yet. A card is never priced above its own printing, and non-legal printings carry no price. When the cheapest EV is higher than the exact EV, the product's own printings are mostly unpriced and the cheapest basis is filling them in; those rows show a "fills unpriced" marker instead of a share or premium. It is a comparison view only and never changes the site's default EV. Values come from the nightly historical EV job.
