The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- While stamps of this design were the common 1-cent stamps of the 1860s, the Z-Grill is distinguished by having the so-called "Z" variety of a grill pressed into the stamp, creating tiny indentations in the paper.
- Although the 1-cent Franklin Z-Grill is generally cited as the rarest and most valuable of all US postage stamps, the 15-cent Lincoln Z-Grill is just as rare, also with only 2 known to exist.
- The 10-cent Washington Z-Grill is scarcely less rare with only 6 known to exist.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Z Grill article was read about 8,700 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 28: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
