The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Worldwide losses were estimated at US$1.71 trillion.
- The severity sparked fears of extended economic instability or a reprise of the Great Depression.
- Possible explanations for the initial fall in stock prices include a fear that stocks were significantly overvalued and were certain to undergo a correction, persistent US trade and budget deficits, and rising interest rates.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Black Monday article was read about 380,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
