Frequently asked questions
What counts as a price spike?+
A price spike is a rise in a card's market price between two dated price snapshots — the past week or month. Cards are ranked by percentage gain over non-foil prices only, and only printings that were already worth at least 0.50 in the source currency are considered, so bulk cards jumping a few cents don't crowd out real movers.
Where do the prices come from?+
Prices come from Cardmarket (EUR trend price) and TCGplayer (USD market price) and are snapshotted with every data refresh. Your selected currency decides which marketplace's data is shown, converted for display.
Why does each card appear only once?+
When a card spikes, its reprints usually move together. To keep the list informative, only the printing with the biggest percentage gain is shown for each card name. Foil prices are excluded — they're driven by thinner supply and spike on single sales.
How exact are the week and month periods?+
Each period compares the latest price snapshot against the snapshot closest to 7 or 30 days earlier, so a gap in the refresh schedule widens the comparison slightly rather than breaking it.
