What's New
I build this in the open, small and often, and write down what changed. Newest first.
July 10, 2026
Selling fees, counted. A new optional Selling Fees field on the sale form. Enter the marketplace cut when a card sells and every net figure in the app, including the new P&L's own line for it, reflects what you actually cleared. Older sales without it are unchanged.
A real P&L. Collection has a new P&L view: a proper statement from sales down to net profit, with cost of cards, grading fees, and shipping broken out line by line and shown as a share of sales. Below it, your record, average net per flip, best and worst flips, and every sale as its own line. Filter by all time, this year, or the last 90 days.
Newest cards on top. Your Cards list now shows the most recent upload first, on desktop and phone, so you can always see where you left off. Sort by any column as before; one tap brings back newest first.
Bulk add, where you'd look for it. The eBay import now has a button right on the Cards page. Paste an eBay order email or your purchase history and it adds every card in one pass, with a preview you can edit first.

A real front page. the-report-card.com now opens to a page that actually explains the tool, so anyone you send it to gets the pitch before a login. The app itself moved to the-report-card.com/app, with an Open the app button on the new page.
A top-to-bottom redesign. The whole app got calmer and more finished. One clean startup instead of competing splash screens, the same logo everywhere, lighter cards so your numbers do the talking, and a subtle motion when you move between pages. Same engine, much nicer to use.
Five places instead of eight. Simpler navigation: Home, Analyze, Collection, Submissions, and More. Watchlist now lives inside Analyze, since watching, analyzing, and buying are one flow. Purchases and Portfolio merged into a single Collection with a Cards view and a Value view. On a phone, a thumb-friendly bar sits at the bottom.
Controls that feel like buttons. The Cards and Value style switches, the on and off toggles, and the left navigation now sit proud and press in when you tap them, instead of lying flat.
Set your grail. Name the card you are actually chasing and the app tracks the climb toward it: a gallery for it, a running total of what your flips have banked against its price, and the option to point a set share of any sale at the goal.
Raw and graded comps, kept honest. Your Cards view holds the raw card value. Graded comps (PSA 10, 9 and 8) now live with your Submissions, and you are prompted for them when you call a grade, so a projection built on graded sales never gets mixed up with the raw price.
Grade odds, built in. Not sure how often a card lands each grade? There is now an estimator for the odds, so the expected value is weighted by something better than a guess.
Faster comp lookups. One-tap links out to sold comps on eBay, PSA, Fanatics Collect and Heritage, for when you want to check the market yourself.
A comp sanity check. The app now flags when a comp looks off against what you paid, so a mistyped number or an outlier sale does not quietly skew a verdict.
Graded cards in one place. Cards you have already graded now sit in their own section instead of scattered among the raw ones, so they are easy to find and update.
Value history that fills itself in. Your collection's value is recorded each night on the server, so your history is there even on the days you do not open the app.
Fixes and polish. Fixed a bug where refreshing the portfolio could overwrite a comp you entered by hand, and a save issue on the Purchases side. Raised contrast and tap-target sizes across the board, made dark-mode dropdowns readable, and carried the new look out to the blog, waitlist and track-record pages so the whole site matches.

A more finished look. Swapped the placeholder icons for a clean, consistent set across the whole app, tidied the spacing, and added a short plain-English line under each section so nothing makes you guess what it does.
Grader badges. PSA, SGC, BGS and CGC now show in their own colors wherever a grader appears, so a slab's company reads at a glance.
Find us. Social links now live in the footer.

The verdict, on a scale. Analyze now reads like an instrument. Your BUY, HOLD or PASS lands as a marker on a fixed scale, with break-even and your max buy drawn in as the lines it has to clear, so you can see at a glance how strong the call is.
One headline on the dashboard. Your collection value and how it moved since your last visit is now the single number up top. Banked, projected, and capital line up beneath it as supporting stats.
Every call names its weakness. Each verdict carries a tag for the single biggest thing working against it, like BUY (THIN COMPS) or PASS (HIGH DOWNSIDE). No other tool tells you why its own call might be wrong.
Sharper numbers. Switched every figure to a measurement-grade typeface with slashed zeros and true minus signs, so the math reads clean and never ambiguous.
Card scarcity at a glance. Open a card in your Portfolio and you'll see how many exist in each grade (PSA population), the gem rate, and a flag when PSA 10s are scarce. It helps you judge whether a tough grade is worth chasing.
Loading fixed for good. Squashed a bug that could show a blank page on a return visit. The app now loads clean every time, no refresh tricks needed.

Tap into any card. A detail view with the big image, the card's own value history, your cost basis and gain, and quick links to eBay sold and active listings.
A real first run. New accounts start clean, no demo clutter, and get pointed straight at their first analysis.
Truer portfolio numbers. The dashboard now values your inventory the same way the Portfolio tab does, including any values you set yourself, so the two always agree.
