How this is computed

A card's market cap is its TCGBerg fair value multiplied by the graded population at that grade, summed across every tracked atom. It is an implied figure: it values the entire graded population at fair value, not just the copies currently listed for sale. Only atoms above a confidence floor are included, so low-data atoms never inflate the total.

FAQ

Questions about market cap

What is a trading card's market cap?

Its TCGBerg fair value multiplied by the graded population at that grade. Summed across atoms, it is the implied value of the whole tracked universe.

How large is the tracked market?

$5.3B across 32,779 tracked atoms in 154 sets.

Which card has the largest market cap?

Umbreon VMAX #215 at PSA 10, at $92.8M (1.7% of tracked cap).

How is market cap calculated?

Fair value times graded population per atom, summed. Fair value is a confidence-weighted blend of recent graded sales, so caps track real market levels, not list prices.
