Price by grade
What each grade’s real sales say — median of what actually sold.
Each grade is priced on the median of its own real sales — never averaged across grades. Only grades we hold sales for are shown; a grade whose sales spread wide is flagged mixed? so you can judge the depth.
| Tier | Price | Basis | Obs. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw (ungraded) | $40 | 25 sales · last 10d ago | 25 |
| PSA 10 | $240 | 3 sales · last 1mo ago · $120–$605 · mixed? | 3 |
| PSA 9 | $125 | 2 sales · last 23d ago | 2 |
| PSA 8 | $91.20 | 3 sales · last 16d ago | 3 |
| PSA 7 | $280 | 1 sale · last 19d ago | 1 |
| PSA 6 | $164 | 2 sales · last 14d ago | 2 |
| PSA 2 | $42.48 | 1 sale · last 1mo ago | 1 |
| CGC 8 | $202 | 1 sale · last 25d ago | 1 |
Cross-market comparisons and arbitrage routes are computed within one grade — PSA 10 against PSA 10, raw against raw. A route is never built from two different grades.
Price trend
Median market price over time, plus the sale-by-sale receipts.
Each point is a real recorded sale at that grade, over the full time we hold. Grades trade at very different prices, so the trend is per grade — pick a grade above.

The 4 most recent — confirmed sales first, then estimates; distinct price points, identical re-ingested rows count once, never stacked. The full 40-point sale-by-sale history unlocks with Pro. Rows tagged guide are marketplace price-guide points (TCGplayer market / Cardmarket trend), not confirmed sales; rows tagged est. are inferred from a listing that left the market, not directly-recorded sales.
See the 30-day, 90-day and 1-year charts and every past sale on record — date, venue, region, grade and the price it actually fetched.
