Price by grade
What the card is worth at each tier — like against like.
Only the raw/ungraded tier is sourced today. Graded tiers are listed so you can see exactly what is and is not covered — an empty row means we hold no sales for that grade, never that the card is worthless there.
| Tier | Price | Basis | Obs. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw (ungraded) | $44.50 | sold median | 3 |
| PSA 10 | — | no data yet | |
| PSA 9 | — | no data yet | |
| PSA 8 | — | no data yet | |
| BGS 9.5 | — | no data yet | |

Cross-market comparisons and arbitrage routes elsewhere on this page are computed within one tier — 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. 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.
