Sales / Yr

Low grading population — gem rates based on only 95 graded cards may be unreliable, and the market for this card in graded form may be illiquid. The gem rate is only 14% — you'll need a very clean copy to hit PSA 10. Only 12 sales per year — it may take time to find a buyer at full price.
