Methodology

How We Measure It

Where every number on this page comes from and what each term means.

TCGPriceAlert Deal Index: A set of statistics TCGPriceAlert recalculates every day from two sources: the underpriced TCGplayer listings spotted by Hot Deals, and the price alerts buyers create on TCGPriceAlert.
Underpriced listing: A TCGplayer listing for a card or sealed product priced well below other copies of the same product for sale at the same time. Each one is checked against several price signals before it counts as a deal.
Sold and time to sell: Sold means the listing disappeared from TCGplayer, which can include listings the seller took down. Time to sell runs from when we spotted the listing to when we saw it gone, so times are approximate.
TCGplayer Market Price: TCGplayer's own estimate of what a product sells for, based on recent sales. We compare it with the listing price plus shipping.
Seller feedback: Gold Star sellers are the stores TCGplayer marks with its Gold Star. 98%+ feedback means at least 98% positive feedback without Gold Star status. Seller figures cover deals spotted since October 26, 2026.
Tracked products: Products with an active price alert on TCGPriceAlert. Set rankings only include sets tracked by several different buyers.
Sample and period: Deals cover the last 90 days, for single English copies shipped to the US with shipping included. Rates only use deals at least 48 hours old. Deals come from the products TCGPriceAlert users track, so they show what buyers watch, not the whole TCGplayer market. Groups without enough data are left out.
