Values come from live market data and are shown to the nearest dollar. Graded values that are estimated (where no graded sale has been recorded) are excluded from this list. A value resting on a single market price point is marked “· 1 price point”.
30-day changes are shown only once a card has 5 or more recorded sales in the window, so a move is never implied by one or two prices. How we calculate this
Every value in this ranking is free. Members also get grade-by-grade prices and full price history on each card's page. See what membership includes.
