The grade ladder

Every grade this card has a priced record in — nothing withheld — kept apart by grading company because a PSA 10 and a CGC 10 are different assets. 4 figures are marked disputed and should not be read as this card's price at that grade.

How these numbers are made

Source
FLOAT's own verified-comp archive. A comp is a realized sale only when it settled as an auction, a fixed-price purchase or an accepted offer; marketplace asks and price-guide columns are counted separately as quotes and can never stand in for a sale.
This file
63 verified sales across 17 grades, computed from the archive as it stood on 07 AUG 2026.
Recency
Each grade shows the date of its own most recent verified sale. There is no refresh clock on this page and there will not be one: a graded card of this kind changes hands roughly twice a year, so a ticking counter would imply motion this market does not have.
Missing figures
A grade with no verified sale says so and shows no date. Nothing on this page is estimated, extrapolated or filled in from a comparable card.
Which grade is yours
Read the row for the company on your slab. The grade number alone is not enough — the same number from two companies is two different assets and trades accordingly.
Reading a row
"Value" is what the archive resolves that grade to; last comp means it is simply the most recent realized sale, carried forward. "Depth" is how much recent trade stands behind it — thin means fewer than three sales in the window, which is most of this market.
Disputed figures
A row marked disputed contradicts another row on this page: a grade priced below a lower grade from the same grading company, or an ungraded copy priced at or above a graded one. Both figures cannot be right and the archive does not say which is wrong, so neither is deleted and the less credible side carries the mark. Removing the row would hide the conflict rather than resolve it; 4 of the 17 grades on this page are marked. Disputed figures are never used for the spread quoted at the top of this page.
