Valuing a card from one listing
Any seller can list any number. Use the median of completed sales, which is what the chart is built from.
Searching by Pal name instead of code
Names span sets and parallels. The code is the only identifier that maps to one market.
Ignoring liquidity on a high-priced card
A price nobody transacts at is not a price. Check the liquidity score before you treat a number as your exit.
Checking prices only when something is hyped
Hype windows are the worst sample of a market. A fixed weekly check gives you the direction hype hides.
Comparing a raw price to a graded price
Graded and raw are separate markets with separate buyers. Compare like to like or the gap will look like profit that is not there.
