Card Gains & Losses

IN PLAIN ENGLISH

Shows what your collectible cards are worth today against what you paid for them — in total, then every card from the biggest gain to the biggest loss. What you paid is entered on the Portfolio page.

WHY IT HELPS

Shows which cards have earned their place in the collection and which have cost you, the way a portfolio's gains do for shares.

HOW IT'S CALCULATED

For each card: Gain/Loss = copies × today's market price for its printing − what you paid for those copies; % = Gain/Loss ÷ paid × 100. Paid, Worth now and Gain/Loss add up only the cards that have both a paid value in your portfolio currency and a price today; the rest are counted in the note underneath. Each bar is drawn to scale against the largest gain or loss in the list, gains to the right of zero and losses to the left.
