Look for the listed-count badge
On the Movers tab, or on a card’s detail panel, a badge like:2 LISTED
means only that many copies are listed in the card’s condition. With this few for sale, the lowest listing price doesn’t tell you much — one seller’s odd price can define the whole “market.” Rows with no badge either have a healthy market or no depth data yet. Hover the badge for a one-line explanation.
Why this protects your prices
Hoard’s own repricing engine checks the same thing before making risky moves. A big drop on a cheap card when only a couple of copies are listed, or any move while a card is being bought out, can get held rather than applied automatically. If a change was held, “Why this price?” on any order line or in the price audit shows a Price change held note explaining why, in plain terms — something like “Hoard skipped a price change to $0.87 — only 2 Near Mint copies are listed, too few to trust that price.”Using it for an in-person deal
If you’re pricing a card across a table rather than on TCGplayer, the Comps view on the card detail panel builds the same thin-market awareness into your Ask and Happy numbers — a liquid card stays close to market, while a thin market or an active buy-out gives you more negotiating room. See price a card in person for the full walkthrough.Why “market price” alone can mislead you
A single market price number collapses a lot of information into one figure. Two cards can both show “$2.50” while one has 200 copies listed and sells every day, and the other has 2 copies and hasn’t moved in a month. Reading the listing count alongside the price is the fastest way to tell which situation you’re actually in before you make a pricing or buying decision based on that number.Related
