Goldin Auctions Lot #202, closed 2/08/2023: 1954 Topps #1 Ted Williams, PSA NM-MT 8 (PSA cert 06031212), 36 bids. Final price $12,600 on a $10,500 winning bid, i.e. hammer plus buyer's premium. Native USD. Exact grade match. For context only, SportsCardsPro's per-grade table for this card lists a Grade 8 estimate of $6,982.53 on roughly one sale a year, so the 2023 Goldin result sits well above today's guide level and should be read as a dated transaction, not a current market quote.

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.
