What changes the price
- Which printing. 1st Edition, Shadowless and holo versions sell for far more than later prints of the same card. Prices here are for the printing shown on each card page.
- Condition. Market prices are for ungraded cards; scratches, whitening and creases cut the price, and a high grade from PSA, BGS or CGC can multiply it.
- Real sales, not asking prices. Listings on auction sites are often far above what cards sell for.
