How These Numbers Are Built
Every price here is a sold result published by Fanatics Collect (formerly PWCC), buyer’s premium included, across its weekly, monthly and premier auctions and its fixed-price sales. A sale is counted only when its title is this exact card and grade: autographed copies, half grades, qualifiers, other languages, sets and lots are left out. Nothing is estimated or modelled, and these are one marketplace’s sales, not every sale of the card. 52 sales not yet marked paid are left out until the payment shows. 1 sale priced more than 6 times above or below the sales around it is left out.
