How the index is computed

Every day at market close we take the market price of every card variant that had a price both today and the day before, and that was worth at least $1 yesterday. The index moves by the ratio of today's sum to yesterday's sum over exactly that set of cards. Then it chains: indext = indext−1 × Σ pricet / Σ pricet−1.

Chain-linking matters because the card universe changes daily. A new set adds thousands of prices at once; a simple sum would jump on release day and tell you nothing about existing cards. In a chained index, new cards enter the comparison only from their second priced day, so the line reflects price change, not catalog growth.

The $1 floor removes bulk commons whose price is dominated by rounding. Weighting is by price, so a $500 card moving 5% matters as much as fifty $10 cards moving 5% — the index tracks where the money is, not where the count is.

Base is 100 on February 8, 2024, the first day for which a full daily archive of market prices exists. There is no data before that; we don't backfill from screenshots or third-party estimates.

Per-game and per-set indices

Identical method, restricted to cards of one game or one set. A set index starts at 100 on the first day it has priced cards, which makes "since release" directly readable: a set at 140 has gained 40% since it first got prices.

What it does not do

It does not track graded cards, condition tiers, or sold listings. Market price is TCGplayer's own estimate for near-mint copies. It does not predict; the calls page is where we put predictions, and where we keep score.
