Collectibles.com per-grade value table for 1948 Leaf #1 Joe DiMaggio lists $10,500 at PSA 7 (same table: $43,200 at PSA 8.5, $6,900 at PSA 6.5, $5,600 at PSA 6). Exact grade match, USD. Corroborating realized comp at the identical grade: Robert Edward Auctions sold a 1948-49 Leaf #1 DiMaggio PSA NM 7 for $6,300 in its Spring 2021 sale. The guide value is used as the headline because the only realized sale locatable at this grade is five years old and roughly 40% below the current published level; no 2024-2026 PSA 7 result was found on Heritage, Goldin, REA or Mile High.

This is not a sale. It is what the market was asking, and no transaction is recorded behind 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.
