  • Score Breakdown β€” Six components: price momentum, demand/liquidity, catalyst proximity, scarcity, market overpricing, and downside risk

Common Questions

Why are some cards showing different prices than what I see on eBay? RocketVault uses median pricing from multiple data sources. Individual eBay listings may be priced above or below market value. Our pricing aims to reflect fair market value, not the cheapest or most expensive listing.

Can I track prices over time? Yes β€” card detail pages show price history. At the portfolio level, your dashboard shows daily value changes.

How accurate are heat scores? Heat scores combine AI analysis with recent sold comps, active listings, and player news via Gemini with Google Search grounding. They're most useful for identifying trending cards in your inventory that might benefit from listing sooner rather than later. Always do your own research for high-value decisions.

How does the Deal Finder work? The AI analyzes current market conditions, identifies players with momentum, and searches eBay for live listings priced below verified market value from SportsCardsPro. Results stream in real-time so you can see deals as they're found.

What does "low evidence" mean? Some cards may have limited recent sales data. When this happens, the analysis is flagged as "low evidence" with an explanation. Confidence scores will also be lower for these cards.
