PSA 3 SALE REFERENCE · NOT A RAW ESTIMATE

$1,440

PSA 3 sold reference · buyer premium included

A separate PSA 3 VG copy sold through market evidence on August 9, 2026 for $1,440 including buyer premium. This is not an estimate or an assigned grade for the submitted raw card.

There is a documented $1,440 result for an authenticated PSA 3 copy. Your raw card needs its back, originality and physical condition checked before that graded result can inform an estimate.

Know what you have

Identity first

The back and the holder change the comparison.

Photograph the back, all four corners, edges and surface under clear angled light. Check for creases, paper loss and alteration, then decide whether professional authentication serves your goal. The reference sale is already authenticated and graded; the submitted copy is not.

FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE

The comps behind the answer.

0 matching records

One priced original auction was verified. A second PSA 3 auction is documented as sold, but its realized price is hidden behind login; its make-an-offer amount is excluded. Two separate cards can differ within the same numerical grade.

Reviewed September 25, 2026. Original auction pages were inspected by the report reviewer. The independent reference is a different, professionally graded card. The requester photograph is not reproduced.

What was included and excluded?

Exclude reprints, altered cards, signatures, different issues and higher grades from direct comparison. A sharp-looking front or a numerical opinion in a comment does not authenticate a card or determine a professional grade.

PULL ODDS

No modern pack-odds claim.

This review does not estimate 1968 production totals or pulling odds. The card number identifies the issue, not its surviving population.

SMALL DETAILS. DIFFERENT CARDS.

Make sure it’s this one.

The submitted front is consistent with the Nolan Ryan / Jerry Koosman Mets Rookie Stars design. Confirm the #177 back and original issue before relying on this report. Front-only photography cannot establish authenticity, trimming, restoration or a grade.
