Match the details before comparing sales

Any comparison needs to preserve the exact card number, printing, language, condition, grade, grading company, certification details, buyer’s premium and venue. A single sale does not establish a price for raw cards or copies carrying different grades.
Snackgirls react
Nea — The dark, starry holo around Lugia catches me first. It makes me want to trace the card back through Johto’s arrival in the TCG in 2000.
AIKO — The sample is one PSA 10 card in one auction. Asking it to calculate the entire market would trigger my error log.
