Card detail and comparison

When you’re deciding how to price a card, you usually need more context than a row in a table gives you. The detail panel lets you dig into a single card and compare it against others without losing your place.

​

Opening the detail panel

Click any card in grid mode. A panel slides in from the right with the card image, full card text, pricing breakdown, and links to your TCGplayer listing. The panel stays open while you browse, so you can scroll through your inventory and click different cards to inspect them. The card you first clicked is your “primary” and sticks around until you click it again to dismiss it. When the panel opens, Hoard re-fetches that card from the canonical detail endpoint in the background. The first render is instant from the table or binder row you clicked, then the panel updates if a price lock, target price, PriceCharting value, back-face image, legality, or frame detail changed since the list loaded. Card facts such as EDHREC rank, Game Changer status, game-specific stats, and format legality sit with the card name and rules text. One navigation row below that area switches between History, Comps, My Copies, and QR, so there is no second set of nested tabs to work through.

• History holds the pricing breakdown, price controls, price trend, and recent sales.
• Comps builds an in-person negotiation plan from current market evidence.
• My Copies holds ownership, list membership, and the per-copy breakdown for grouped cards.
• QR holds the sticker visibility override and View QR page link.

​

Pricing breakdown

The panel shows your current price, the lowest listing on TCGplayer, market price, your target price, the gap, and potential upside. This is the same data as the table columns, but laid out so you can see everything at once without scrolling sideways. Pokemon and other PriceCharting-backed rows show the same PriceCharting link, ungraded price, sales volume, and grade-price data whether you opened the card from table view, binder view, or a stacked-card row.

​

Comps

For a single card with a usable market comp, Comps puts four numbers together for an in-person deal:

• Market — Hoard’s honest current evidence mark, preferring trustworthy same-condition recent sales
• Ask — the opening number you quote
• Happy — the price you would feel good accepting
• Hard floor — the number below which you walk away

The live suggestion adjusts the Ask and Happy numbers for market depth: a liquid card stays close to market, while a thin market or active buy-out gets more room. The floor estimates what a standard TCGplayer Marketplace sale would net before shipping, so Direct and Pro fee structures can differ. Tap Edit to save your own Ask, Happy, and Hard floor. These are negotiation notes only: saving them never changes your TCGplayer listing or Hoard’s repricing target. Reset returns the card to the current evidence-driven plan. Refresh asks your online Hoard agent for current listings and recent sales. The request starts on the agent’s next heartbeat, then gets a temporary fast lane. The open panel updates when the complete result arrives; if the data is already fresh, the button says so.

​

Recent sales

In History, a Recent sales list shows the last 10 tracked TCGplayer sales for this card, newest first: date, condition, and the all-in price (item plus shipping), so you’re looking at what a buyer actually paid, not just an ask. The pricing receipt keeps the decision and baseline context without repeating the same five sale rows above this list. When the card’s condition is known, a comp-estimate line sits above the list: Comp estimate: $X.XX · low/medium/high confidence (N comps). Higher confidence means more same-condition sales went into the number. Low confidence is common and still correct — it usually means there weren’t enough sales in this exact condition, so Hoard borrowed a nearby condition and translated the price, which is inherently a softer estimate. Treat it as a starting point for your own pricing call, not a fixed answer. Sales data only exists for cards Hoard has actively investigated, either through Refresh in Comps or by watching the card. That’s a growing slice of the catalog, not the whole thing — a card with nothing tracked yet shows “No recent sales tracked for this card yet.” instead of hiding the section. Refresh the comps or turn on watching to start building its sales history.

​

Price controls

Below the pricing breakdown, single cards show two explained Price controls rows: Automatic pricing and Market tracking.

• Follow Market / Mute — a two-way switch for how automatic repricing treats this card. Follow Market (the default) lets the engine reprice it with the market. Mute skips the card in every automated price pass — your price stays put until you change it by hand or unmute. Muting is lighter-touch than price locking: a lock pins the exact price and blocks all writes, while mute just opts the card out of automation.
• Watch / Watching (eye icon) — keeps the card’s market data fresh on a fast schedule and surfaces spikes and buy-outs the morning they happen. A manual watch reads Watching since Aug 6 below the controls, while an automatic watch names the reason. See Market depth and watching.
• Keep above market / Keeping above market — allows automatic increases but prevents automatic price drops for this card. Turn it off when you want decreases to follow the market again.

Stacked rows (multiple printings grouped together) don’t show these controls — open a specific printing to use them.

​

Comparing two cards

Click a second card while the panel is open and you get a side-by-side comparison. Both cards’ pricing appears in a table with a diff column showing the spread. This is useful when you’re trying to decide whether to price two printings of the same card differently, or checking how a foil stacks up against the non-foil. How it works:

• Your first card stays as the “primary” until you dismiss it
• Every new card you click replaces the comparison slot
• Click your primary card to remove it (the comparison card takes over)
• Hit Undo if you accidentally replaced a comparison you wanted

​

Switching conditions

If you have the same card in multiple conditions (NM, LP, MP), there’s a dropdown in the compare view that lets you swap between them without searching. This makes it easy to check whether your NM and LP copies are priced correctly relative to each other.

​

Double-faced cards

Cards with two faces (like modal DFCs from Zendikar Rising or transform cards from Innistrad) can be flipped from the detail panel. On desktop, click the card image. On mobile, use the flip control so tapping the image can do something else: open a larger “look closer” view. The text and pricing update to show the back face. Kamigawa flip cards rotate upside down, just like the physical card.

​

Looking closer on mobile

On mobile, tap the card image in the detail panel to open a larger version of the card. Close it to return to the same detail panel and keep working through your search results.

​

Price trend

Below the pricing breakdown, the detail panel shows a 90-day price history chart: your listed price as an amber line and a dashed reference line for the TCGplayer market or low listing price. Market / Low toggle. When both series are available, pill buttons above the chart let you switch the reference line between market price (the midpoint of recent sales) and low price (the cheapest active listing). The chart label updates to match. Reading the chart. The amber line is your own price history — you can see every reprice the agent applied. The dashed line is the market moving around you. Gaps in the dashed line mean no market data arrived for that day (weekend ticks, catalog gaps). Comparison chart. When two cards are selected for A/B comparison, a combined chart appears showing both cards’ price histories on the same axes — Card A in amber, Card B in blue. Use this to see whether your two printings have been tracking the same market movement or diverging.

Recent cards

A tray at the bottom of the panel shows the last few cards you’ve looked at. Click any thumbnail to jump back without re-searching. Handy when you’re bouncing between a few cards trying to make pricing decisions.
