An advanced tool for members with Market Watch access. If you don't see Market Watch in your Tools menu yet, you can request access — then it'll be ready whenever you want a market read.

Step 1

Ask about a player or card

Open Market Watch from the Tools menu. On the AI Market Analysis card, type who or what you're curious about, narrow it by sport and price tier if you like, then hit Analyze.

1

Search, choose a tier, and Analyze

Enter a player name or card title, pick a Sport to focus the search, and choose a Market View tier so the read matches the part of the market you care about. Then press Analyze.

Broad or specific — both work. Search a player like Luka Doncic for the whole market, or a card type like Bowman Chrome to zero in. Leave Sport on All Sports if you're not sure.

Step 2

Read your AI market analysis

In a few moments the AI returns a written market read — a short plain-language summary plus the trend it's seeing. Use it as a starting point for your own judgment, not a final answer.
