Real InstaList sales
Buyers pay more for a card they can trust.
A DCM grade shows buyers the condition before they bid. Here is what DCM graded cards sold for through InstaList, next to what the same cards sold for ungraded.
- +104%DCM 10s sold for about double the raw price on average
- +88%Sports cards graded DCM 8 or higher sold above raw on average
- +31%DCM 9s and 10s sold above raw on average
Raw average is the trimmed mean of ungraded eBay sales of the same card within 180 days of the DCM sale, from PriceCharting and SportsCardsPro. Averages compare the total DCM sale prices with the total raw average of the same cards, for sales completed through InstaList. Premiums tend to be largest on lower-priced cards. Results vary by card and grade, and lower grades often sell below raw. Past sales do not guarantee future prices.
