Daily Cheat Sheet

Your roadmap for the day. We read live collector demand and the market to show you what to draw, where a new card can compete, and what a standout looks like.

Step 1

Pick a subject

Subjects collectors are actively favoriting on Etsy that still have room to compete on eBay. Wanted, but not locked up by one big seller.

Rising in sales

Subjects taking a bigger share of original ACEO sales on eBay, Sep 5 to Oct 4 vs the month before. Draw for the season while buyers are looking.

Step 2

Study real premiums

Single original cards that recently sold above $20 on eBay, top of the market first. These are inspiration, not a price target. Study the composition, medium, and titles to see what pushes one card to the front.
