Separate collectible quality from price, liquidity and evidence. A strong card can still have no verified edge.
As of 2026-10-15 · 675 catalog records evaluated · 197 in the main database · 65 with 3+ recent exact raw sales · 610 DATA GAP.
Raw condition is preserved as recorded. Exact raw and graded transactions never share a valuation. Scores are provisional; missing factors remain visible. Zero BUY/OFFER calls: current landed costs and market verification are missing.
2 price watches. No verified purchase signal.
Selected across the full catalog: Q ≥75, V ≥55 with at least two scored factors, L ≥25, 3+ exact raw sales in 180 days, latest ≤90 days, sale spread ≤80% of median, and supply at least 180 days after release. At most five cards, one per subject, sorted by Q, then V, then L. Empty means no qualifying ideas.
