A little explanation of what a sort by dollar volume means and why we do it: The cards that sell the best, while nice to know, is far less valuable information to retailers than which cards generate the most profit. Also, it’s likely that the best-selling cards sell well because they're really cheap, which means that a retailers' margins will be super low on those cards. It's much harder to intuit which cards carry the biggest profit margin with them, so that's how we choose to present our top ten.
On top of playing host to PSY-framed monsters, High-Speed Riders also introduces support cards for the Speedroid and Red Dragon Archfiend archetypes. Hi-Speedroid Chanbara (#7) and Speedroid Terrortop (#8) belong to the former group, while Black Rose Moonlight Dragon (#9) and Red Wyvern (#10) support the latter.
In summary, ranking each card by dollar volume helps to identify trends and give us an idea of what’s on the way up and down, and how players are feeling about certain strategies and decks.
