Methodology

How the BinderDex blog is made

Short version: BinderDex Editorial owns the work, AI may assist, source notes ground the claims, and nothing is attributed to a fictional person.

Who writes the articles

BinderDex Editorial is the responsible public author for every article. AI tools may help with research organization and drafting, but they are not presented as people or independent experts. Every article is reviewed against its sources before publication, and a named reviewer appears only when a real person has explicitly taken that role.

Where the numbers come from

Prices in our articles come from the BinderDex price database — the same data that powers the app. Snapshots are dated in the article's source note, and the live price cards inside articles re-check the database whenever the page is rendered, so embedded prices stay current even when the prose ages.

Card identity facts (set numbers, rarities, artists, release dates) are checked against primary references before publication. Market posts state the date range behind every price move they describe.

What our market coverage is — and is not

Card prices vary by condition, printing, grading, and venue, and thin markets move on a handful of sales. We write market context, not investment advice: nothing on this blog is a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or grade. The decision stays yours.

Corrections

Articles are corrected in place and the updated date changes whenever facts change. If you spot an error, email [email protected] and we will check it against the data.
