  • Lightly and moderately played — the same expected return for a copy that cannot gem.
  • Ask vs sold — what the live listings want, against what copies have really closed at.
  • Momentum — the 30-day median against the 90-day, per grade.
  • Where it sells higher — the Fanatics-versus-eBay premium, with the sale counts behind it.
