Our corpus is keyed to TCGplayer, so it holds cards TCGplayer sells. That structurally excludes the cards at the very top of this list: Pikachu Illustrator went to 39 winners of a 1998 illustration contest, the trophy cards went to tournament winners, and the Topsun cards came in gum packets in 1997. None of them is a product anyone can list, so none has a market price, only a price someone paid.
They are ranked here on the same PSA 10 figure as everything else and marked as off-market, and each one has a page carrying its grade ladder and its population report. What those pages cannot carry is the daily price and the grading verdict, both of which need a market to measure against. Every other row is a card you can buy today, and its page has all of it.
