Universal CGC 9.8, 30-cent regular edition (NOT the scarce 35-cent variant), realized $9,600 at Heritage Apr 2022 per CGC's article. The 30-cent in 9.8 rarely trades. The 35-cent variant is far more valuable (a CGC 9.4 sold $25,000 in 2017).
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.
