Before you start

An advanced tool for serious sellers

Collection Analysis is an advanced tool available to members with Market Comp access. If you don't see Analyze Collection in your Tools menu, you can request access — then come back here and pick up at Step 1.


Step 1

Pick the cards to analyze

From the Tools menu, open 📊 Analyze Collection. You'll see your Total Inventory at the top. Search or filter down to the cards you want fresh comps for, tick them, and press Run Analysis.

1

Search, filter, and select your items

Use the search box and the sport, year, grading company, player, and grade filters to narrow the list. Check individual cards, or use Select all pages to grab the whole set. When you're happy, hit 🚀 Run Analysis.

Step 2

Let it fetch fresh comps

Once it's running, Collection Analysis goes out and gathers recent market data for each card you picked. Bigger batches take a little longer — and you don't have to sit and watch.

Fetching Market Data — feel free to step away

You'll see it move through Fetching Market Data and Analyzing Your Collection, with a running count of items Processed and any it had to Skip. When it's done, we'll email you — so you can close the tab and get on with your day.

You can leave this page — we'll email you when the report is ready.

⏭️

A few skips are normal. If a card is too rare or new to have recent comps, it's simply skipped — the rest of your report finishes without it.


Step 3

Review and reprice

Open your 📋 Analysis Results. Each card shows your Cost, current List Price, the projected Proj. P/L, and the Margin — with badges flagging where you're priced out of line. Set a Markup % and click Apply Price Updates to reprice in one move.

1

Read the results, then apply updates

Green means healthy margin; a Critical badge flags a card priced well below where the market says it should be. Choose a Markup % to nudge suggested prices, then ✅ Apply Price Updates. Prices below are illustrative examples.

Tips & common questions

Start smallAnalyze one sport or a handful of cards first to see how the recommendations look before running your whole inventory.
Watch the Critical badgesA Critical badge points you straight to cards priced far from the market — the fastest wins are usually there.
Set a Markup that fits youThe Markup % lets you price a touch above the comps if that's your style, before you apply.
Re-run when the market movesComps change over time — re-analyze every so often to keep your prices current.
Do I have to wait on the page while it runs?
No. Once it's fetching data you can leave the page — we'll email you the moment your report is ready, and it'll also be waiting under My Analyses.
What does it actually recommend?
An updated list price for each card based on recent market comps, alongside your cost, current price, projected profit/loss, and margin so you can see the reasoning.
Will it change my prices automatically?
No. Your prices only change when you click ✅ Apply Price Updates. Until then the report is just a recommendation you can review.
Why were some of my cards skipped?
A card is skipped when there aren't enough recent comps to price it confidently — often very rare or brand-new cards. The rest of your report finishes normally.
I don't see Analyze Collection in my Tools menu.
It's an advanced tool available to members with Market Comp access. If it isn't showing for you yet, request access — once it's granted, you'll find it under Tools → 📊 Analyze Collection.
