Every coin here is an ordinary Pons coin, quoted in ETH. What makes it card-backed is where its creator fee goes: into the vault of one graded slab, on every buy and every sell.

The grails
Three hobbies, and the rarest pull in each, at the price it last changed hands. Nothing on this list is in our vault; it is the ceiling every card in it is measured against.
The Illustrator is the most expensive trading card ever sold, in any hobby.
The oldest hobby, and the two cards it has always kept score with.
One card, one copy, two players on it.
