Whether you're buying, selling, or just keeping tabs on your collection, knowing what your card is truly worth is essential. But in a market full of speculation, inconsistencies, and guesswork, accuracy is hard to come by. That's where Alt Value comes in. It’s a smarter, data-driven way to track card prices in real time.

‍

Alt Value is calculated from a combination of sales data and market knowledge. When we have a lot of data, the Alt Value will be close to recent transactions. When data is sparse, we leverage comparable sales and use them as anchors to come up with a range. We also factor in comparable recent sales from similar players. Our valuation model is updated daily to ensure Alt Value is as accurate as possible!

Smart Pricing That Works for You

Alt Value isn’t just another pricing tool. It’s powered by real data, proprietary algorithms, and human expertise to deliver accurate, real-time card values. Whether you're holding a rare card or browsing the latest auction listings, Alt Value helps you understand what your cards are actually worth—not just what someone is asking for them.

Our pricing engine continuously monitors market data and updates values dynamically. You get the most current estimate, along with a confidence interval to help guide your decisions.

No Guesswork, Just Public Paid Comps

Alt Value is built on transparency. We only use public, confirmed paid comps, meaning there’s no reliance on shady data, unconfirmed offers, or best guesses. Every number is backed by real transactions.

• High Confidence: Cards with a high population and lots of transactions. The more data, the more confidence.
• Low Confidence: Rare cards with fewer public comps. Alt Value still provides a range, but you’ll know upfront how reliable that range is.

These confidence intervals help collectors and investors make smarter, risk-aware decisions.

The Most Comprehensive Pricing in the Hobby

Alt Value goes far beyond just looking at comps. Our system takes into account:

• Grading and subgrades
• Card variations
• Market trends
• Patch and player-year nuances
• Population reports

To make sure everything checks out, there’s also a layer of human review built into the process. This creates one of the most accurate and trustworthy pricing models in the hobby.
