How we compute it

The sales are those closed on eBay, Fanatics Collect, Heritage and other auction houses, collected by Alt and converted to euros at the day's ECB rate, plus those completed on SafeCards.

For each card and grade we take the month's median price, so a single outsized auction does not move the result, and compare it with August's. The index is the median of these changes: every card weighs the same.

Published on October 23, 2026. The figures no longer change, even when more sales of that month arrive later.
