Tiers
Elite
Top of this board’s crowd ranks — the first cliff after ratings sort. When the gap to the next name is large enough (320 on the methodology recipe), Collectrio starts a new tier; labels walk Elite → High → Core → Depth → Fringe. Methodology.
Fringe
Lower-conviction / borderline end of the same cliff labels. Fringe sits after Elite, High, Core, and Depth when gaps keep splitting the sorted board. Reading the board.
Off board
In the catalog but not on the current served board for this lens — not ranked among peers for that comparable set. Bulk energy on Binder is a typical example. Reading the board.
Trend
Trend
This board’s public number minus the same number from rankings older than seven days. Not a scraped price move. If nobody ranked that name this week, trend is 0. Methodology.
Lenses
Binder
Cards collector lens — chase, vintage, and binder copies. A format lens rebuilds who belongs on the board; it is not a cosmetic Elo bump. How lenses work.
Playable
Cards play lens — how useful the card is in actual games and formats. List staples climb; pretty art without play falls. How lenses work.
Value
Cards crowd-value lens — relative Sleeve / Swap strength from ranks. Still not a dollar price or marketplace quote. How lenses work.
Dex
GO collection lens — living dex, shinies, regionals, and form collecting. How lenses work.
Raids
GO raid / PvE lens — what people want for raids and battles. How lenses work.
Trade bait
GO trade lens — what people want to receive in trades. How lenses work.
Verbs
Sleeve
Cards hold verb — you’d protect this in the binder long-term relative to the other two names. Ranks above Swap and Store. Sleeve / Swap / Store.
Swap
Cards middle verb — you’d move it for something of similar strength on this lens. Beats Store; loses to Sleeve. Sleeve / Swap / Store.
Store
Cards lower-priority verb — binder or bulk cleanup, not trash. Loses to Sleeve and Swap. Sleeve / Swap / Store.
Train
GO invest verb — worth powering up, buddy time, raid, or PvP relative to the other two. Ranks above Trade and Transfer. Train / Trade / Transfer.
Trade
GO middle verb — fair to move for similar strength on this lens. Beats Transfer; loses to Train. Train / Trade / Transfer.
Transfer
GO cleanup verb — storage cleanup, not a slur. Loses to Train and Trade. Train / Trade / Transfer.
Modifiers
NM
Cards calculator condition — the default line. Condition changes expected Sleeve / Swap strength; partners still verify the physical card off-site. How the calculator works.
LP
Cards calculator condition below NM — reduces the line’s package strength versus the default. Mark honestly; share links keep the modifier visible. How the calculator works.
MP
Cards calculator condition below LP — stronger reduction to the line’s package strength. Be harshest on chase. How the calculator works.
Lucky
GO calculator modifier — lucky status economics for power-ups. Mark only when the trade will be lucky or you are modeling a known lucky. How the calculator works.
Needs XL
GO calculator modifier — flags XL candy pressure that changes Train value for the receiver. How the calculator works.
