Good for double checking a price before you sell or auction something. ## What makes a card worth more * Stars: more stars means more value, roughly matching what you'd get melting it into Gold, just scaled up since a whole card's worth more than melting it down. * Mint number: a low print number is genuinely rarer since copies get numbered in the order people claim them, so early copies are worth a bit more. That bonus fades out completely by copy #500. * Misprint: harder to pull than normal art, so it's worth more. * Poster: also harder to pull than a normal card, so it's worth more too. Both bonuses stack if a card's a misprint poster. * How many people want it: the more people who've wishlisted a card, the more it's worth, though there's a limit so one super popular character can't send the price through the roof. * How often it gets claimed: the bot keeps track of drops, including cards nobody bothered picking up. A card that gets grabbed almost every time it drops is worth more than one people keep leaving behind, even though every card has the same odds of showing up in the first place. It needs a decent number of drops before this kicks in though, so brand new cards just start out neutral. * How popular the series is: the more people who own anything at all from that series, the more everything in it is worth, kind of like how a popular set matters in any card game. ## Reading what you get back `%lu` shows the card's stars, print number, and what kind of art it is (normal, poster, misprint, or both), along with what it's worth in all four currencies. It also shows you the numbers behind that guess: how many people have it wishlisted, how often it gets claimed when it drops (or "not enough data yet" if it's too new), and how many people own something from that series. So you can actually see why it's priced the way it is, not just get a number with no explanation. The Gold number is the main one, and the other three currencies scale off of it based roughly on how much harder they are to earn than Gold. So something that's about twice as hard to get as Gold ends up worth about twice as much Gold per unit. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://studio0.gitbook.io/tome-docs/card-valuation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
