My daily value is crashing and i don’t understand why, im litterally adding cards to my collection everyday but in the past 2 months my collection value is down 2000$, i understand sometimes card values change but i have never seen it go down this fast in my 2 years here, im used to it going up or down 100$ every months or so but never thousands in 2 months, does anyone know whats going on?

Search the forums about Sportlots, etc. This has been brought up many times.

Nevermind the fact that this site is not a definitive price guide and the end authority on a card's/collection value.  

Grain of salt...

If you are not selling your collection, then its value can only be assigned by you.  Don't get bogged down in what other think your collection should be worth.  I have a lot of cards that I value much more than the book says I should and I have of cardboard that the book says is worth a lot, but I barely value more than plain cardboard.

Thank u all very much for your answers :) my collection is worth much more to me than it probably is to anyone else, and i do know that its hard to actually put values on here because ive bought cards for 5-10$ that were probably just worth 1$ and vice versa so i know that values are hard to actually know, thanks again for your answers my friends :)

And nevermind the fact that prices were hyperinflated prior to Sportslots' pricing partnership.

I very much appreciate the option of turning off pricing on your profile.  I found that option very shortly after joining the site.  

Values aren't automatically refreshing after the Sportlots sales are added so your collection value will most likely keep dropping. Plus there may be sales not brought in yet so you'll see it there also.

Just keep in mind that all the cards DO NOT have prices.  So even if the prices of the cards that have them it is not the true value of your collection.

Especially is the case if you happen to have a lot of mid to high end cards in your collection. Most autos, serial numbers and GUs do not have prices.

EDIT: I do not add prices for the cards I have because people would hate how cheap I am. :p
