The counts are in the hero; this is how the card trades — the range, the pace, where, and what each grade has actually fetched. Figures that name a grade cover that grade alone; the rest count every grade.

Every sale we can show you
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. Filter by grade: a raw copy and a graded slab are different objects, and averaging them is how a raw market comes to look wild. We hold 58 sales for this card going back to 2024; the ledger names its most recent eight per grade, which is what the table below can link to.
1–8 of 36 sales · 18 carry a PSA certificate, checkable on psacard.com.

A badge says what is behind the number. cert-verified means PSA sales each tied to a specific slab you can check by serial; sold means completed eBay or Fanatics listings; modelled means no verified graded sale exists and the figure is derived from the raw price and reference guides — a ceiling to check, not a price to quote. reviewed was set by hand after reading the sales record.

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.

Best case is the PSA 10 outcome and the number to trust least — it assumes the gem rate the census above shows, which the census itself overstates. Expected net is the honest one.

Trader
Compare graders, and the live market
The verdict above is PSA's — the grader the population, the ROI table and the ladder on this page all use. Trader prices all three graders against each other and adds what the asking market is doing right now.
- PSA, CGC and Beckett side by side — each on its own population and fees, Beckett scored on the 9.5 its market pays for.
- 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.
- Population history — the weekly PSA census, so you can see how fast 10s are arriving before you post the card.

A black “EDITION 1” stamp sits to the left of the picture, between the illustration and the card's lower text. No stamp means it is not 1st Edition, whatever else the listing says.
On the WOTC printings (1999–2002): a grey drop shadow runs down the right side of the picture frame, and there is no edition stamp. This is the common printing and the cheapest of the three.
