Exact grade match: the Grade 5 completed-sales tab lists '1909-11 T206 Piedmont 150 Christy Mathewson (Portrait) PSA EX 5 [HeritageAuctions] $4,920.00', sale date 2022-05-26, USD. Heritage's own lot page returns HTTP 403 to any fetch, so the figure is cited from the SportsCardsPro page that was actually loaded. Corroborating: next-closest realized sale is an SGC EX 5 at Heritage on 2024-10-10 for $4,200, and the page's per-grade estimate puts Grade 5 at $4,364.22. The comp carries a Piedmont 150 back, the most common T206 back, which the identifier does not specify; scarcer backs trade at a multiple of this.
This is a realized sale. Somebody paid it. Source.
How this is made
- The figure
- One reference price, taken from a named public source and shown with its own kind. FLOAT does not average it with anything or adjust it for time.
- Realized or not
- A realized price is a completed sale. A market asking price and a price-guide value are not sales, and are labeled as such wherever they appear.
- Why no grade ladder
- Most FLOAT 100 entries are individual objects. There is one of this, so there is no population and no spread across grades to show.
