Every sale here was matched to this exact card: the right number, set, printing and language, one card per listing, raw kept apart from graded. Listings we can’t be sure of are left out. On an accepted best offer we show what the buyer paid, not the asking price; where that isn’t on record the asking price is shown as a ceiling and never counts towards the price. A sale marked unusual is far from that grade’s market price and isn’t counted either. Sales record updated Oct 14, 2026.
