Reading the Chicago Market on Etsy

Right now 6 shops are listing, 66.7% of them with a single card up. The top shop holds 45.5% of what is listed.

The middle of the market sits at $12. Most cards list between $4.95 and $13. Over the last 44 days the typical price has been climbing, from $9.99 to $12. Price inside that band unless you have a clear reason to sit above it: signed, numbered, or a name collectors already chase.

Few listings are marked one of a kind, so leaning into originals is a real differentiator. Nearly every listing is tagged handmade, so that tag alone will not set you apart on this shelf. 2 listings already have ten or more favorers, so there are buyers watching this theme.

You will not win this one on price. Win it on the card.
