How to read a price move
Each row compares two floors: the price of the cheapest listing on a given day, and the same price today. A floor is one listing. When it sells, the floor jumps to the next seller without any other copy changing price. That is why we only keep cards that were worth at least one euro to begin with, and why the biggest moves should be read as signals to check, not as trends. We measured the gap between the floor and the rest of the book.

What it means for you
- Selling: a card in the rises list may simply have lost its cheapest listing. Look at the book before raising your price.
- Buying: a sharp drop often comes from one seller in a hurry. If the listing is still there, now is the time; if not, the floor has already moved back up.
- To place these prices among every chase card, the medians by rarity are here.
