Binder Value & Pricing Options
MythicHub offers advanced features for tracking the value of your collection, managing card prices, and monitoring price changes over time. This guide explains these features in detail to help you get the most out of your collection management.
The main binder page displays comprehensive value statistics for your collection. Different statistics are shown depending on the binder type:
Collection Binder Statistics:
- Total Value: The current market value of all cards in the binder based on your selected marketplace.
- Acquisition Cost: The total amount you paid for all cards with assigned purchase prices.
- Gain/Loss: The difference between the total market value and your acquisition cost, showing your collection's overall performance.
Wishlist Statistics:
- Total Value: The current market value of all cards in your wishlist.
Tradelist Statistics:
- Total Value: The total value of your tradelist based on asking prices (or market prices if no asking price is set).
How Card Values Are Calculated:
Each card's value is calculated using this priority order:
- 1. Current Market Price: The most recent price from your selected marketplace.
- 2. Recent Market Price: If today's price isn't available, we use the most recent price from the past.
- 3. Assigned Price: If no market price is available, we use any price you've manually set for the card.
- Condition Adjustments: If enabled, we adjust market prices based on your card's condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, etc.).
The binder value section includes a trend chart showing how your binder's total value has changed over time. The chart displays at least 14 days of data, and can show up to a full year of value history.
Chart Features:
- Value Timeline: Visual representation of your binder's value changes over time.
- Collection Events: The chart shows when cards were added, removed, or updated in your binder.
- Color Indicators:
- Green shows card additions
- Red shows card removals
- Blue shows card updates
- Purple shows multiple types of changes on the same day
How Values Are Calculated:
- Saved Values: For past dates, we calculate and save your binder's value each day. This gives you accurate historical snapshots of your collection's worth. These appear as "Stored" in the chart tooltip.
- Live Calculations: For today's value and when using filters, we calculate the value in real-time by looking at current prices and your cards from that specific time. These appear as "Estimated" in the chart tooltip.
- Historical Data for New Binders: Even if you just created a binder, we can show you how its value would have changed in the past by using historical prices with your current cards.
Note: When you apply filters to view only certain cards, all trend values become live calculations ("Estimated") since they're based on your filtered selection rather than the complete binder.
The binder table includes a price changes column, showing how each card's value has changed over different time periods.
Features:
- Time Period Options: Choose to view daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly price changes using the Price dropdown menu. Weekly changes are shown by default.
- Visual Indicators: Price increases are shown in green with an upward arrow, while decreases are shown in red with a downward arrow.
- Sortable Column: Click the column header to sort by price change and quickly identify which cards have gained or lost the most value during the selected period.
- Percentage and Dollar Values: Shows both the percentage change and the actual dollar amount change for each card.
This feature helps you track market movements and identify trends in your collection's value, making it easier to make informed decisions about buying, selling, or trading cards.
The binder interface includes powerful filtering options that help you analyze specific parts of your collection.
Available Filters:
- Card Details: Filter by card name, set, rarity, color, type, mana cost, and other game properties.
- Market Price Filters:
- Show only cards with current market prices
- Show only cards missing market prices
- Assigned Price Filters:
- Show only cards where you've set a price
- Show only cards without your assigned prices
Important: When you apply filters, the value trend chart will recalculate all values in real-time based on your filtered cards. This gives you accurate trend data for just the subset of cards you're viewing.
These filtering options give you detailed control over your collection view, making it easy to analyze specific groups of cards and understand how different parts of your collection are performing.
