Read every accepted sale
One sold listing is evidence. It is not a complete market.
When KCC has only one to five accepted sales for an exact photocard, the card page deliberately shows the full observed spread. Low is the minimum accepted price, Mid is the median, and High is the maximum. KCC begins using the first and third quartiles only when the card reaches at least six accepted sales.
That formula keeps the small sample honest. Your job is to keep your conclusion just as honest.
With a large evidence set, a summary range can quickly show the center of the market. With one to five sales, every listing can materially change the displayed numbers.
Open each source. Confirm the member, release, card type, retailer or event, round, and version. Check the sold date, marketplace, title, disclosed condition, and whether the listing contained one card or several items.
A listing that says “official photocard” may still be too vague for an exact POB, lucky draw, fansign, or broadcast record. A title can also use POB and lucky draw interchangeably even when the cards came from different events. The fewer sales you have, the less room there is for one weak match.
