The lines behind the numbers

Runs

17:29 UTC — hotfix

Repaired a syntax error introduced by the v69 build in the Compare chart renderer (a splitLine() call left half of the old template literal dangling), which had been preventing the entire terminal from loading. No data changes.

17:13 UTC — asks refresh (8h)

Re-verified all 83 tracked listings across eBay, Fanatics Collect and DA Card World: no tracked listing sold; every ask confirmed live at its stored price (Flareon Star PSA 8 and Poncho Shiny-Ray PSA 8 nudged on FX/seller repricing); the $88,888 Gym Heroes 1st Ed box URL repointed to the seller's live relisting after the old item page began redirecting; new asks added (4 of the 8 found were already carried by the concurrent daily rebuild) incl. a $88,888 Charizard Gold Star PSA 10 and a PSA 10 Blaine's Charizard 1st Ed. Goldin and Heritage surfaced no live tracked lots; both Fanatics Crystal Lugia PSA 9/3 buy-nows show unavailable.

16:16 UTC — repath

Every card path, set leg and index rebuilt from all 18,083 documented sales on file (304 new since the last rebuild). .AGG 4,176.7 → 4,180.3, .GLDSTR 5,989.7 → 6,078.8.

15:16 UTC — build v69 · honest history

Card charts and Compare now draw the months before a card's first documented sale as a dashed line and label where its own data begins; Compare gains OWN DATA FROM and MONTHS WITH OWN SALES rows and explains why two cards can overlap exactly before their first sales (both follow the market factor there). No data changes.

10:00 UTC — asks refresh (8h)

Re-verified all 113 tracked asks/bids: no tracked listing sold; all still live except Pikachu ★ PSA 8.5 (eBay page now shows a different item — removed). 9 new listings added incl. Mew ★ & Mewtwo ★ PSA 10 at $88,888 each and two 1st Ed box asks. Price rises: Mew ★ PSA 1 → $88,888 Poncho 231 PSA 8 → $88,888. Auctions: Entei ★ PSA 8 $88,888 (10 bids) and Vaporeon ★ PSA 8 $88,888 (14 bids), both end 2026-09-08. Blocked: Gym Challenge 1st box ask (eBay page 403 via fetch proxy, kept with search-index title), Fanatics weekly lots unavailable; Goldin not attempted this run.

02:45 UTC — data correction

Three live asks removed after a spread-screener review: a Luigi Pikachu Full Art PSA 8 whose eBay page now serves a different item, a Shining Mewtwo PSA 9 with no 1st Edition marker filed on the 1st Ed row, and a Jolteon ★ PSA 8 at 21% of the last sale that could not be re-verified. The screener and every order book now check each listing title against the card, grade and edition before showing it.

01:30 UTC — asks refresh (8h)

Merge of the 09-05 overnight sweep onto the 01:08 refresh: that run had already re-verified the full desk (no sales), so this publish only adds the 5 net-new listings the sweep found — Vaporeon ★ PSA 8 auction, Jolteon ★ and Flareon ★ PSA 8 asks, Base Charizard Unlimited PSA 10, and a second Mario Pikachu PSA 10 ask; one eBay page (Gym Challenge 1st Ed box) was fetch-provenance-blocked in the sweep; no source fully blocked.

01:25 UTC — build v67 · grail watch

Grail Watch page (25 most valuable cards, live asks and spreads, days since the last print). Guided first visit, search hints, ⓘ "what is behind this number" on every card, alpha vs .VPI on the inventory desk, real card URLs with share previews (vintagechasetracker.com/card/…), light theme for the weekly report, NEW badges on tape rows since your last visit. No data changes.

01:20 UTC — data correction

Treecko ★ PSA 9: the 2026-08-31 $88,888 print was an ungraded TCGplayer sale filed in the PSA 9 column; removed, PSA 9 mark restored to the 2026-08-24 $88,888 eBay sale. Grade hygiene tightened so a print priced below the next grade down's mark is rejected.

01:08 UTC — asks refresh (8h)

Re-verified all 101 tracked asks/bids across DATA.asks and the order books — every one still live, no sales to record; one FX reprice and one price cut; added 5 new asks (first PSA 8.5 Pikachu ★ row, Regice ★ PSA 7/8, Suicune ★ PSA 9, and a second Base 1st Ed box). eBay item pages, DA Card World and Fanatics Collect all fetchable; eBay search pages skipped per protocol, Heritage showed no live gold-star lots and the one Fanatics weekly Charizard ★ lot closed Oct 2025.

01:00 UTC — build v65 · spread screener + morning note

New SPREAD page: every live ask on the desk against the last documented sale of the same card and grade, with filters (under the last print / within 15% / aspirational) and a PSA 10 toggle. Home page gains the morning-note signup (site only, double opt-in) and the site now publishes digest.json for the emailer. Phones: search bar pinned to the top, charts re-laid-out. No data changes.
