How we build this. Every night we check eBay for every player we cover: how many of their cards are listed, the bids on their live auctions, and the final prices of the cards on their pages. Weeks run Monday to Sunday (UTC). Each finished week is saved as it was, so the numbers you cite won’t change. For the day-by-day version, see The Pulse. Free to cite with a link to this page.
