Nova value

The trade value of Nova is 0.024. Among rare items with a price it ranks 108 of 124. On the full list it ranks 825 of 1,072. Set it against the median rare of 0.12 and it is 80% less than as much. Top of the tier is Cane Knife at 525, about thousands of times what you have here. This is bundle-tier. You will see it priced as 3 X (T1) Uncommon rather than by itself.

Demand is thin here. Nova is easier to give away than to trade on its own. Rarity and demand cancel out at 1 and 2. Straightforward to trade. This one just sits there, price-wise. Good if you hate surprises. One thing to flag: this price is estimated from similar items, not from a logged trade.

If you are putting an offer together, 3x Coal Gun 2022 (0.008 each), or 3x Candied Knife (0.008 each), or 8x Stickers Xmas 24 (0.003 each) all come out about even. On the list it sits between Vortex (0.024) and Hacker (0.024). Those are the two swaps people reach for when they do not have this one.

Rares come out of the standard boxes constantly, so supply is huge and values are tiny. Most of the tier is under 1. The odd exception, like Dungeon, sits way above the rest and is really its own thing.

Treat rares as small change. Filler that rounds a trade off, not something you build around. If a trade needs more than a couple of rares to balance, the trade is kinda not balanced. Add a legend instead.
