How This Report Is Built

Every lot that sold in Goldin’s Basketball category between Aug 1, 2026 and Aug 31, 2026 is counted once, on the day it closed, at the hammer price plus the lot’s buyer’s premium, which is the final price Goldin publishes. Grades are shown as the grader labelled them. ‘Graded singles’ are lots with a PSA, CGC, BGS, SGC or TAG grade; sealed product, signed items and memorabilia are counted in their own rows. Medians are medians of individual sales. Nothing is estimated or modelled, and nothing here describes any venue other than Goldin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I see the current market at Goldin?

The standing report is the live view: the latest week, rolling 30-day windows, and the next closes on Goldin’s calendar. This issue is the fixed record for one month.

Why compare against the previous month?

Because auction volume is lumpy. An Elite event or a themed auction in one month and not the next moves every total, and the comparison column shows that swing rather than hiding it.

Where do the prices come from?

Each price is the hammer price plus the lot’s buyer’s premium, which is the final price Goldin publishes. Every lot is linked.

Does this include eBay or other auction houses?

No. Only lots sold at Goldin, where every result is a public record. It is one venue’s results, not a price guide for the whole hobby.

Sources

Every price on this page is a sold result from the Goldin Basketball archive, with the lot behind each price linked. Goldin is an eBay company; its final prices include the buyer’s premium.
