About this data. Figures cover tracked eBay card sales
over $2,000 for Jul 28 – Aug 3, 2026. Coverage at and above that floor is complete; below it there is nothing.
Volume and median use confirmed sales only; best-offer listings are marked *
and excluded from those figures, because eBay publishes the asking price on them.
Medians are a market read, not an appraisal.
How this is made. RazMania market reporting is compiled from our
own tracked-sales database using automated tools, and reviewed before publishing. Figures
come from that dataset — never from a language model.
