Frequently Asked Questions
How does Grade or Fade work?
You are shown 10 card investment opportunities per day. For each one, you decide: "Grade" (this is a good investment, buy it) or "Fade" (this is a bad investment, pass). After each pick, you see if you were right and get an explanation. At the end, you get a score out of 10 and a collector grade.
What does "Grade" mean in this game?
Grade means you believe the card is a good investment — you would buy it, hold it, or recommend it to other collectors. It means the card has upside potential based on the player, scarcity, market position, and collecting demand.
What does "Fade" mean in this game?
Fade means you believe the card is a bad investment — you would pass on it, sell it if you own it, or warn other collectors away. It means the card is overpriced, overhyped, or has fundamental issues (overproduction, player decline, etc.).
Are the answers based on opinions or data?
The answers are based on established card market principles: scarcity drives value, player performance drives demand, overproduction kills value, and condition matters. While no investment advice is guaranteed, the answers reflect consensus hobby wisdom backed by historical market data.
