Grading
A grading read appears once Buffer Piece has a PSA population census. Riffle captures the census monthly; this card doesn’t have enough graded copies on record yet.
- $2–$4 is the middle 80% of clean market activity, not the cheapest listing and not the most hopeful one.
- The band spans about ±27% around its midpoint: a wide spread, so read it as a range, not a point.
- Sampled daily since July 20, 2026, current as of July 20, 2026.
