How BinderLens prices cards

Raw estimate (Near Mint)

The headline number on a card page is a BinderLens estimate, not a single sale. It combines recent market prices for that card number, using the TCGplayer market price where available and completed sales (for example eBay sold listings) otherwise. Unusually high or low sales are left out, and day-to-day movement is smoothed so one odd sale cannot swing the estimate overnight.

Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Heavily Played, and Damaged estimates are separate condition buckets. They are not a fixed discount from Near Mint.

Confidence and freshness

Each estimate shows a confidence level, how many recent prices it is based on, and when it was last refreshed. Low confidence usually means few recent sales or one dominant marketplace, so the price can move more than usual. An estimate that has not refreshed recently is marked as needing refresh.

Estimates versus observed sales

The price history chart plots individual dated sales as dots alongside the estimate line. The dots are actual completed sales; the line is the estimate. A single high sale does not become the price.

Graded values

Graded values (PSA, CGC, BGS, and others) are kept separate from raw prices; a raw price is never used as a graded value. Each graded value is labeled with its source: the number of logged slab sales and the date of the most recent one, or reference price when it comes from a third-party price guide and no individual sale is logged. Treat reference prices and values built on few sales with caution, especially when the gap between grades is large.

Set totals

A set's total market value is the sum of the Near Mint estimates for the cards in that set that currently have one: one printing per card number. Variants, graded copies, and unpriced cards are not included, so the total is a snapshot of priced cards, not the cost of a complete master set. Each set page shows how many cards were priced and the latest update date.

Printings and variants

Prices are tracked per catalog card number. Where a card has several printings (holo and reverse holo, stamped, first edition), the estimate may not match your exact printing. Confirm the printing when you scan and compare recent sales for that version.
