Every price here is a completed PSA-graded sale with its grade, its date and a receipt you can open — an eBay item id and cert number, or an auction-house record with its venue and page. Asking prices are kept somewhere else and never set a level. Nothing on this site is estimated by hand.
Why it pays: one card bought at a stale price, or one deal missed, costs more than years of this desk. Every documented sale on every card and grade, the spread between grades, the asks sitting under the last sale right now, and what moved across the whole market — the visibility a listing page never gives you. Free to read; the live desk for less than a sandwich a month.
Each index rebased to 100 at the window's first month, so the five sit on one scale. Monthly closes, every one set by rule from documented PSA 10 sales. The full month-by-month table is in this week's market report.
The ten highest marks on the desk right now, each one a documented PSA 10 sale with its receipt behind it. Open any card for its grade ladder, its population and the prints the mark is built from.
By rule, not by hand — and the rules are the product. The full method.
A price is a completed PSA-graded sale. eBay sales keep the item id, the title, the seller and the cert number eBay showed; auction-house sales arrive with their venue and page. Live asks are stored, but apart, and they never move a mark.
Or the average where several land within a week of each other. A print far out of line with the rest of its grade is held as unconfirmed until a nearby sale backs it up, and every mark carries a confidence letter.
If nothing clean has sold in 180 days the row says stale and sets no level at all. An empty row is the honest answer — better than last year's number wearing today's date.
Free to read, no account. The guides answer the questions people ask about the vintage market from the desk's own numbers; the hubs rank every card.
The same numbers on every tier. A tier changes how much of the record you see, and how fast — never the numbers. Pro pays for itself the first time it stops you buying at the wrong price.
