Grading ratio

Method

1. Near mint is the latest observed TCGplayer near-mint market price for the card, in dollars, via PokemonPriceTracker, for the printing the catalog row describes (the unlimited print where a Wizards-era product also sells a 1st Edition). It is the card page's headline whenever that headline is observed. Modelled values never count.
2. PSA 8, PSA 9, PSA 10 are the latest observed eBay sold-by-grade buckets from the same provider: the average price of completed eBay sales of PSA-graded copies at that grade, with the number of sales and the date the bucket was read. It is the same figure the card page and the pop-adjusted screen show; hover a value for the median. CGC, BGS and SGC sales are never mixed in.
3. Ratio is the graded value over the near-mint value, with the dollar gap beneath it. Under ×1 a graded copy has been selling for less than a raw one.
4. A grade value from fewer than 3 sales is badged thin, and one the provider's own outlier check distrusts is badged outlier flag. Both are shown greyed and sort after the counted values unless rank thin is ticked. One sale is a transaction, not a market.
5. Printing. eBay's graded buckets do not separate printings. On a product with a 1st Edition run the PSA buckets mix 1st Edition and Unlimited sales while the near-mint side is the unlimited print, so the multiple reads high; rows from the seven sets verified to have a 1st Edition run carry a chip. The same mixing can apply to any product that lists more than one printing, such as a reverse holofoil next to the regular card.
6. Nothing is subtracted for grading fees, shipping and insurance both ways, the weeks a card is away, or selling fees. Fee schedules change and a submitter's service level is their own, so the screen states the gross multiple and the dollar gap and leaves the sum to you rather than assuming a number.
7. Coverage: the eBay pass looks up every card with a provider id in rotation, least recently read first, about 420 to 500 cards a day across its two daily slots; chase and population-tracked cards are also read on every price refresh. A card with no PSA sale at any of the three grades is not listed; a dash means none at that grade.

What the multiple does not say: the odds. It is the payoff if the grade comes back, and the grade a raw copy earns depends on that copy. A ×20 PSA 10 on a card that rarely grades 10 is a different proposition from ×5 on one that often does. The population counts on a card page, where a card's population is read, count what was submitted and graded, not every copy, and they say nothing of the grades below 9.
