Why lower grades still matter

Best of game has 9 cards listed in the source sample. Even if the top grade creates strong upside, the calculator still needs to test whether PSA 9, PSA 8 or lower outcomes protect the user from overpaying.

Card identity signals

In the visible sample, rarity context includes the cards currently listed; where type data is available, cards include the cards currently listed. Illustrator data such as Shin-ichi Yoshida, Ken Sugimori and Katsura Tabata gives the pages more identity than name and number alone.
