Genuine question first: how do you all keep up with card price movements week to week? My honest answer used to be "I don't, I find out late when someone mentions it", and that kept costing me.

So I built a weekly market digest as part of my tracker. Every week it automatically pulls together:

• The biggest gainers and losers (this week: Rayquaza holo +400%, a Lady Outing −57%)
• Which whole sets are trending (Call of Legends led at +50% this week)
• Relevant TCG news alongside it (upcoming sets, reveals, etc.)

The point is catching the whole week in one glance instead of reconstructing it from scattered posts. It's free to read: tcgforecast.app/digest.

Still curious how others handle this, is there a source you swear by, or is most of the community kind of reacting late like I was?

Not talking about single cards, I mean if you added up the value of every card of a given Pokémon, which come out on top?

I got curious enough that I built a tracker for it (~20k cards, ranked by total value across all of a Pokémon's cards). Before I say the answer, I want to see what people guess, because it broke my intuition.

My assumptions going in were basically: Charizard, Pikachu, Mewtwo, maybe Lugia. The actual current top 3 has one of those… and two I did not see coming. Charizard isn't even in the top 3.

Drop your top 5 guesses and I'll tell you how close you got.
And if you want to just see the full ranking, it's on the site I built (tcgforecast.app, free to browse), but honestly the guessing is the fun part, so try first.

I'm a solo dev (and Pokémon collector) who got tired of never knowing what my collection was actually worth or which cards were quietly moving. So I built TCGForecast.

What it does:

• Tracks ~20,000 Pokémon cards and ranks all 1,600+ Pokémon by their total card value, turns out the "most valuable" list is full of surprises (Mudkip's cards total $17K+, which broke my brain a little)
• A weekly digest of the biggest gainers, losers, and set trends, pulled together automatically
• An AI advisor that reads your collection and tells you what's heating up or cooling off, deliberately descriptive, not predictive (I actually removed a price-prediction feature because I didn't trust it, and "we don't pretend to predict the future" turned out to be better positioning anyway)
• One random Pokémon's full premium page unlocks free for everyone daily, so you can try the paid stuff without paying

It's freemium ($4.99/mo for the deep data), but a lot is usable free. Not financial advice, just a tracking tool.

Would genuinely love feedback, especially on the landing page, since I've been watching people bounce off it and I'm not sure if it's the copy, the load time, or the fold. Roast welcome.

I've played many Mario Kart games (my first one being Mario Kart 7) and I was really invested in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but over these past years, I have been watching Mario Kart Wii content (especially from TWD98 or just Retro Rewind in general) and I've always wondered why Mario Kart Wii got this much popularity but not other games like Double Dash, 7 or even DS which was one of the most liked Mario Kart games
