Notable card sales, exact identities and the context behind the headline price. A source-linked record, with original currencies and sale dates preserved.
THE COLLECTOR’S PERSPECTIVE
A famous name is only the start. The printing, grade, provenance and terms of a transaction explain why two apparently similar cards can sell for very different amounts.
Read the number correctly.
This is a researched selection of notable transactions, not a complete market feed or a current all-time ranking. Auction and privately reported results are labeled. We keep currencies separate and identify included premiums or bundled items.
