How This List Is Built

Every price here is a sold result published by Fanatics Collect (formerly PWCC), buyer’s premium included. The house lists 1,398,604 baseball sales; this page reads the 999 highest, which reach down to $42,000. Only sales marked paid count. 3 sales priced inside the top 25 are not marked paid and will join the list once the payment shows. Each price is compared with the other sales of the same card and grade in the 12 months around it; with 3 or more to compare, a sale more than 6 times their median is left out. A card with no other sale, such as a 1-of-1, counts only when it sold in a catalogued auction: a premier auction, or a monthly auction from before premier auctions began. Nothing is estimated, and these are one auction house’s sales, not every sale of a card.
