Ranked by each card's highest value at any grade (shown in bold). Raw = ungraded. Sales = recorded sales behind the value; “1 sale” means a single sale sets it. 90 days = change in the raw value. “—” = no reliable figure.

Methodology

Every card with a recorded sold value (eBay and auction-house sales) is ranked by its highest value at any grade (ungraded, PSA 9 or PSA 10), or by one grade on the Raw, PSA 9 and PSA 10 tabs. Sealed boxes, complete sets and placeholder rows are left out, and so is any card whose value has zero recorded sales behind it. Graded values are checked against the card's own raw value and neighbouring grade: a PSA 10 more than 50 times the raw value (2,000 times for pre-1980 cards), or more than 15 times the PSA 9, is treated as unreliable and shown as a dash, never adjusted. The sales column counts the recorded sales behind the value; "1 sale" means one sale sets it. The 90-day column compares the raw value with our own price history. Rankings are recomputed daily.
