Frequently asked

How are these cards ranked?

By value, highest first. When we have a recent real sale for the card that matches the copy for sale, we use that sale price; otherwise we use the lowest current asking price on eBay. Obvious junk listings (a few dollars) are left out.

What counts as $500–$5K?

Cards valued from $500 up to (but not including) $5,000. A card at exactly $5,000 moves up to the Nukes tier.

Why is a player listed twice?

We allow up to 2 cards per player on this page, so a star with two great cards in this price range can show both without one player taking over the list.
