Completed sales from our own sold ledger, PSA’s certified-sale feed and the eBay comps, in one list, newest first — Fanatics, Goldin and eBay between them.

How many exist, and at what grade

PSA's cumulative census for this card — the same population behind the ladder above and the grading verdict below.

every grade, all time

The census is cumulative and counts resubmissions, so it skews toward nicer copies and overstates the gem rate a first submission should expect. Treat it as the ceiling.
