VCT PRO · THE WHOLE RECORD, LIVE · FOR THE PRICE OF A SANDWICH A MONTH
ONE MISPRICED BUY COSTS MORE THAN A YEAR OF PRO.
Pro is the visibility the market does not hand you: every documented sale on every card and grade since FEB '21, the spread between grades, the asks sitting under the last sale right now, and the stale prices you would otherwise pay. Finding one good deal — or walking away from one bad one — pays for it many times over. Free keeps the indexes, the comparison tools and the last twelve months; sale dates, sources and uncertainty stay visible on both plans.

A useful first five minutes
Search a card you own or want. Open its grade-specific sales and check their dates. Save it to your watchlist; use Pro when deeper history, the complete deals board or daily condition emails help you follow it.

01 · THE MIND OPEN NOW
Every card a node. The market as a mind.
522 cards with a graded cap, drawn as neurons: the largest and the most connected carry their sprite in a ring coloured by the month's PSA 9 move, the rest of the market sits behind them as a field. 679 lines join cards whose monthly returns move together (0.55 or better over 18+ shared months) — the co-movement nobody can see from a price list. Hover a card and its neighbours light; drag one and the mind re-settles; a time machine scrubs cap and colour back five years. Four dials across the top: breadth, the gem premium, all-time highs, carried-by. Free sees the dials and the brief, live; the map is Pro.

02 · TODAY'S BRIEF · TELL ME WHEN OPEN NOW
Six lines written by the data. One email, only when something fired.
The desk opens on what changed, not on a form. Today's brief, from the same numbers:
- Breadth 24% — 38 of 158 cards up on the month.
- A ten costs 9.9× its nine across 189 cards with both grades.
- 41 cards at an all-time PSA 9 high this month, 0 at a 12-month low.
- The largest cards are 32% of what the graded market has added.
Tell me when is five switches — a condition, not a card. The desk checks them at 07:00 UTC every day and sends one email from desk@, only on a day one crossed. Your switches and your pins follow you across devices.

03 · THE CARD SHEET · THE GREEKS OPEN NOW
Click a card: its own history, its risk, its Greeks, a model value
Every card's real monthly medians with an amber fan — its own history resampled 2,000 times over the next twelve months, labelled a distribution, not a forecast. A risk strip: 12-month return, annualised vol, max drawdown, beta. The Greeks, for cards — no options, no cash flows, so the honest analogues: Δ beta, Γ convexity, Θ carry per month, σ vol, ρ to the market and to the S&P 500. A premium-reversion model value with every input shown (it says on the page it is not a DCF). Its co-movers. Pin it in one tap.
04 · WHAT MOVED OPEN NOW
Eight rails that re-order themselves every build, and the Greeks on the sixteen largest cards
PSA 9 monthly medians, dated sales only — no card is carried forward to make a list. Then the Greeks table, every column sortable, a row opens the sheet. Seasonality underneath: every card-month since 2017 as a heatmap.

05 · HISTORY OPEN NOW
Every month since FEB '21 — free sees the last twelve
Every index, every card's monthly marks, every box, the external series, all the way back. A free account's charts start twelve months ago; Pro's start where the record does. Max drawdown, the year-by-year, the since-base figures — computed on the whole series, not a window of it.

06 · THE LIVE DESK OPEN NOW
Auctions ending today, against the mark
The sales tape and the live asks on the Worker's scheduled feed (batches run every two minutes; check each listing's timestamp) instead of the two-hourly build. Current bid, bid count, time left. An ENDING TODAY board sorted by the clock, each lot against its mark and fair value, English and Japanese side by side — fifteen rows at a time, a filter box for the rest.
07 · DEALS OPEN NOW
Every live ask under fair value
The deals board, cheapest against the mark first, wrong copies and mismatched certs kept off it by rule. Free sees the count and the top rows; Pro sees every row, every grade, both languages.
08 · THE LADDER OPEN NOW
Your slabs at mark set your rung
Log your slabs on INVENTORY and the desk marks them to the last sale; the value sets your rung, Silver to Diamond. The ladder ranks the members who opt in — a handle, a rung, a rank. Never holdings, never a value. Free members stand on Bronze.

Tell-me-when is open; your own price lines are next
Today the desk emails when a market condition crosses or a pinned card prints a sale. Next: a sale above or below a line you set, a new ask under fair value on a pinned card, an auction ending within the hour under mark, a mark that moved, a pop that changed — by email, then by Telegram on Dealer.
10 · MY DESK · THE RECORD · THE GRADING DESK NEXT, IN THAT ORDER
Holdings marked to market, every print exportable, submit-or-hold
Cost basis and unrealised P&L on your own slabs, your own gem market cap and mNAV; CSV export per card and per index; the arbitrage table with your own PSA fees and the expected value of a submission. Built in that order, opened to Pro as each one ships — the founding price does not move when they do.
11 · DEALER FOUNDING LIST · IN DEVELOPMENT
For the people who make money in this market
Pro is for looking. Dealer is for acting — built for the dealer, the grader and the flipper who move slabs every week and want the desk to work for them between visits. What it will do, in the order the list asks for:
- Alerts that push — a card × grade × price line, any lot ending today under its mark, a mark that moved: by email or Telegram inside the two-minute feed, not the next morning
- Export and an API key — every sale with its receipt as CSV, per card and per index; the same data by API for your own sheets
- The grading desk with your fees — submit-or-hold per card, expected value of a submission at your PSA tier
- Holdings by cert — cost basis, unrealised P&L, your gem market cap and mNAV, a weekly report image
- The JP ↔ EN arbitrage table — every paired card with the spread, where the same slab is cheaper
- Pop growth and gem rate per card, from the PSA pops on file
None of this is built yet. There is no confirmed launch date; the first workflow will follow paid pilot feedback. Joining the list costs nothing and charges nothing; the founding price is written here so you know what you are joining for.
