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.

#1 Wanted & Open

Queens

🔥 51 Etsy listings with 10+ favorites, ~61 avg

🟢 48 eBay sellers, top seller only 8.7%

#2 Wanted & Open

Dancers

🔥 48 Etsy listings with 10+ favorites, ~74 avg

🟢 58 eBay sellers, top seller only 7.3%

#3 Wanted & Open

Tea

🔥 35 Etsy listings with 10+ favorites, ~74 avg

🟢 70 eBay sellers, top seller only 6.2%

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.
