Price moves far larger than these cards normally make. Follow the spike, compare its history and research what changed.

Why ask this

Every other list here ranks cards against each other. This one ranks a card against its own history: a move several times larger than anything it normally makes means something happened that its price history did not predict.

How to read the figure

The figure is the size of the latest move measured in the card's own typical moves. Above about four, something happened. The sign tells you which way.

Shown on every row: Unusual move

How well it has measured

Unusual move: Strong and consistent. Across 38 test dates, each scored using only what was knowable that day, cards it ranked in the top tenth beat its bottom tenth by about 14% over the next 60 days on average (rank correlation +0.229). The windows overlap, so that is closer to 13 independent readings than 38, all from one rising market.

Where it can be wrong

This is the one list on this screen that is explicitly a set of leads rather than findings. It detects that something happened and has no idea what — a reprint, a tournament result, a video, or a single strange sale.
