Every TCG market tool shows you prices. Price trackers, deal finders, portfolio managers — they all answer the same question: what does this card cost right now?
tcgvibes asks a different question: are cards in this set moving together?
Why co-movement matters
When cards in a set change price independently, each card has its own story — someone pulled a chase card, a deck fell out of meta, a seller listed below market. That's normal trading card market behavior.
When many cards in a set change price together, something else is happening. A shared cause is moving the whole set: a new release creating demand, a tournament result shifting the meta, or a wave of collector interest arriving at once.
The vibe scale
We express co-movement as a simple scale. BANGER means strong coordination — cards are definitely moving together. Active means coordination is building. Steady means normal independent movement. Quiet means very little coordination at all.
What this is not
This is not price prediction. A BANGER set can be surging down. We show market structure — whether cards are coupled or independent — not direction. Use it alongside price data, not instead of it.
