Closed test. Charles creates the account. You add the cards — then you get the book: portfolio, notes, market, catalog, watch, guide.
No self-serve signup. If you don’t have a login, that’s on purpose.
Holdings + desk — what you own, season stance, mix by sport. Mark is eBay mid. Cost is what you paid.
Three steps before hunt targets and budget slices mean anything. Cert lookup, search, or Market → Add to book.
PSA cert, label photo, or search the print. We classify RIGHT / MAYBE / WRONG and pull eBay mid.
SELL list · WAIT sit · BUY add. Pills appear for sports you hold — Desk shows the board even before that.
Not five names — one RIGHT hunt print. Cash or Deals suggests; you confirm.
Mark is eBay mid (Refresh pulls solds now). CH FMV on holdings refreshes about every 5 minutes in the background — context, not the mark.
A weekly review of the cards you hold — list, sit, skip. Then last sold vs mid on what you watch, and a few RIGHT clips in your sports. Mark is eBay mid. Net is what you pocket after fees.
Last sold vs eBay mid on cards you starred. Not in the book until you add cost.
RIGHT clips in sports you hold or watch, then a few more worth a look. Last sold vs eBay mid.
Search a player. Browse is cards with eBay tape — not the whole index. Listed is a live BIN; Net is eBay mid after fees.
Confidence
MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, soccer — any print you hunt that has no eBay solds yet. Scale a taped equivalent in that sport. This is not a mark. Tape wins when solds land.
Base is the hobby copy. Refractor / color / gold / numbered scale off that. Prizm Silver is base.
Day-one starter — not how famous they are yet.
Leftover cardboard upside. A legend is a 1.
We pick a taped name in this sport if you leave this blank.
On-demand note on a name — pulse, tape graph, season, headlines, and Card Hedge sales volume. Injury is roster, not a new mark. Tape wins.
Pick 1–3 from your book (tape + cost show as you select). Lot asks, or a 2-way vs catalog — including 2–3 for 1. Balance by value finds prints near your tape.
What’s printing now — most solds in 90 days on eBay, Courtyard, and Arena Club, then live BIN. Not a buy list. Market is hunt; Deals is under mid.
Every card we have indexed — not your book. Open a set to see the checklist.
A budget hunt — not the book. Pick how much you have. Under $200 is how you start: one RIGHT card, long, not five $40 names. Flip is a list-window clip. Mid is fair ask until the next sell month. Size is eBay mid. Spend Courtyard first (0%), then Arena Club (~10%), eBay last (~13%).
Pick a band.
RIGHT hunt cards only — not your book. Mark is eBay sold mid (what we call fair). Each card explains itself: last sale vs mid, how many solds, and this month’s season window.
Clip: last eBay sale at least ~10% under mid while that sport is in a sell window. Example: MLB in August. NBA Flip is empty until playoffs list season.
August: NBA & soccer are buy months — use Mid, not Flip. Flip fills when that sport is in a sell window (e.g. MLB now). strong clip = last sale under mid and under our synced market estimate — extra confirmation, not the mark.
Confidence
Hunt list. Not in the book until you add cost. Search here, or ⋮ on a Market card. Card Hedge price moves show when a print matches.
10% off the wrong card is still the wrong card. Deals only count on RIGHT. The pill is a title scrape — if the slab looks like print, it is print.
BUY = dump. WAIT = hype. SELL = in-season heat. Outline is this month. Not a price forecast.
Baseball sells from opening day through October; November is the dump. NBA sells into the Finals, buys in summer. NFL into Super Bowl, dump in March. NHL into the Cup, buys in summer. Soccer sells into summer tournaments, buys July–August. This month’s cell is outlined so the SELL isn’t a vibe — it’s the window.
One card per player — hunt the PSA 10 of the licensed RC or 1st Bowman Chrome auto. Fair ask in a buy window; fat discount in a sell month. BGS / SGC / raw still add; mark is that grade’s tape.
1st chrome without auto, random autos, Tiffany / Leaf. Not a book card until eBay solds say so.
Now, BCP, mega, paper, inserts. Don’t add more of a name you already hold the filler of.
Pink of Chrome #201 is still #201 — price the pink tape, not the base. Logofractor, Prism, Downtown are different cards. RIGHT is a title scrape: if the slab isn’t that print, it isn’t.
Every card gets a band from the name and this print. Tape and the season still make the call. Click Confidence on a card to see that copy’s factors. The formula is here so the number isn’t a vibe.
| RIGHT +20 · MAYBE +8 · WRONG 0, and WRONG caps the whole thing at Low. Ohtani Now is still a Now. | |
| Star 1–5 | +5 per star. How much of a face they already are. Unrated if they’re not on our name book — we don’t invent a 4 from a last name. |
| Potential 1–5 | +4 per level. Leftover cardboard upside. A legend is a 1. A 1st Bowman is a 5. |
| Rookie | +15 if this copy is the hunt RC or 1st chrome auto. Veteran print of a star gets none. |
| MVP race | MLB / NBA / NHL. Hunt list only. First MVP that would re-rate the RC scores more. Another Ohtani / Jokic / SGA trophy does less. NBA always names the season window — August is out of season (offseason odds), not tip-off heat. Not used for NFL. |
| DPOY | NBA only. Defending / hunt DPOY (Wemby). Separate from MVP. Not a filler wing. |
| Playoff / SB | NFL instead of MVP. January cardboard — dynasty / contender path. Preseason and camp outs are not a re-rate. Mahomes SB window scores; McConkey camp buzz does not. |
| Future HOF | Veterans we hunt into a vote (Posey, Utley, Pujols, Gronk). Not a Cooperstown guess on an active star. |
| Ballon d'Or | Soccer instead of MVP. First trophy that would re-rate the RC scores more. Another Messi Ballon d'Or does not. |
| Golden Boy | Soccer instead of HOF. U21 race — Yamal / Endrick, not a veteran. Messi does not get Golden Boy points. |
| Roster | IL-60 / IR −12 · Out −10 · IL-7/10/15 −8 · DTD −4 · Minors −10. Clear is 0. Shows as a tag on the card. Sport-specific feed (below). |
| Player pulse | Background job every 30 min — not inside the web process. Writes player_pulse / game_fire tables in MySQL; Book only reads them. Baseball: MLB 40-man — IL and optioned to the minors. NBA / NHL: ESPN Out / IR / DTD, not week-to-week questionable. NFL: same ESPN feed, but only week 1 through Super Bowl — preseason / camp outs are noise, not a confidence ding. Soccer: no IL feed — Roster is n/a (0 pts), not “clear.” Value is eBay mid, not the injury. |
| Tonight | Hot → Tonight. Last night’s MLB box (3+ hits, 2 HR, 10 K) and ESPN NBA/NFL/NHL lines, matched to the hunt card we have tape for. Not a buy list — August baseball is SELL. Don’t chase a night into a BIN. |
| Estimate | Pre-market fair only when this print has no eBay solds. If SportsCardsPro / our index already has a PSA 10 mid, Estimate refuses and sends you to the product — tape is the mark. We never scale a Yamal Chrome into a Messi Mundi Cromo “fair.” |
| Study | On-demand note on a name — pulse, season, confidence ding, price graph on every run, and headlines. The chart always plots daily eBay sold mid; if he’s on IL/IR the red line is the day he went on the list (domain stretches so it isn’t clipped). Toggle Chrome / Update / Bowman chips or click a series to hide a copy. Headlines refresh in the background into player_news. RIGHT and MAYBE only — WRONG isn’t drawn. Type any player. |
| Trades & lots | Package 1–3 from your book, or a 2-way vs catalog (including 2–3 for 1). Live tape/cost as you pick. Near my tape ranks catalog by value gap. Even = tape · Firm = eBay net · Walk = cost floor · Haircut = multi-card concession. Tape wins; CH FMV is context. |
| Bands | 75+ High · 55–74 Solid · 35–54 Thin · under 35 Low. |
