Methodology: this report is generated automatically each day from MTGCompare's store-price snapshots — the cheapest in-stock listing per card per market (NM/LP conditions, market-guide estimates excluded). The global index is the equal-weighted average of the four markets' matched-pair basket moves. It reflects retail ask prices, not sales; nothing here is financial advice.
