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 638,508 football sales; this page reads the 999 highest, which reach down to $39,600. Only sales marked paid count. 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.
