Our recorded ungraded price for this card. The line closes on the Near Mint figure shown above — the chart and the headline are the same number by construction, never two. The line is the running level, so a single unusually cheap or dear sale does not spike it. Hover any day for its price on the line.

  • Our raw sold median$2

Vendor prices for the same printing beside our own raw sold median — the same figure as the Raw row in the by-grade table. A wide gap is usually thin data on one side rather than an arbitrage; the headline is blended from sales, not from the cheapest of these.
