Raw and graded context
Market data in Kardive is not there for trivia. Raw value and graded prices feed card detail, ROI calculations, opportunity scores, alerts, watchlists and portfolio valuation.
- Raw market value
- PSA/CGC/BGS graded outcomes
- Grade buckets
- Card detail handoff
History and timing
Price history helps users understand whether a card is stable, rising, volatile or worth waiting on before grading. The chart context supports the final ROI decision.
- Raw price history
- Graded price history
- Hover details
- Timing context
Signals that create action
Watchlists, alerts, opportunities and portfolio snapshots turn market data into actions: revisit a card, create an alert, calculate ROI or export a decision.
- Watchlist signals
- Price alerts
- Opportunity categories
- Portfolio snapshots
Raw price is only one input
A raw price can tell the user what the card may be worth today, but not whether grading is rational. Kardive treats raw value as the cost basis or raw-sale alternative inside a larger ROI model.
- Cost basis
- Raw sale alternative
- Purchase timing
- Portfolio valuation
Graded prices need grade context
A PSA 10 value without PSA 9 and PSA 8 context can lead to bad decisions. Kardive organizes graded prices into practical buckets so upside and fallback grades stay visible together.
- PSA 10 upside
- PSA 9 fallback
- PSA 8 and lower downside
- Company-specific buckets
Market data should not burn API quota unnecessarily
The authenticated product relies on cached card details, cached histories, stored opportunity scores and owned user records, so exports and dashboard pages do not request fresh market data just to render.
- Cached card metadata
- Stored opportunity scores
- Saved scenario snapshots
- Portfolio snapshots
From market signal to user action
The user should always know what to do next: calculate ROI, save the assumptions, add the card to watchlist, create a threshold alert or review the opportunity category.
