How is the Alt Value calculated?

Alt Value is calculated using a combination of data and systematic market knowledge. When we have a lot of data (e.g., base prizms), the value will be more similar to the average of recent transactions. However, when data is sparse, we leverage comparables and use them as anchors to price the card, similar to how an expert in the hobby would do so themselves. The valuation model is updated daily.

Why is there a delay in populating Alt Value?

There is occasionally a delay in pricing rare, vintage, or new additions to the Alt asset universe. If there is an * in place of an Alt Value, then our model is still valuing your asset. Please note that Alt does not provide Alt Value for SGC or CGC-graded cards valued at less than $500.

Is there a way to edit the name of a card after it's been uploaded?

At Alt, we utilize a standard naming convention to ensure consistency and ease of search for all card listings. However, if you notice that the description of your card is incorrect or missing an important detail, we are here to help.

If you need to correct the title or description of your card, please email us at support@alt.xyz with the following information:

  • Details of the card in question

  • The proposed changes to the title or description

What do the lock/unlock icons mean?

The lock/unlock icon indicates whether the card is stored in the Vault. Our vaulting service offers a complete solution, enabling collectors to buy, sell, collateralize, and view their assets in a temperature-controlled facility with 24/7 monitoring. Vaulted cards benefit from digitization, storage, and insurance with no ongoing fees. You can outtake your cards at any time.

Can Alt Value be listed in another currency?

At this time, we only support USD. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Can I share My Collection with others?

My Collection is a digital storefront that gives you the ability to share individual cards and active listings.

I am unable to add an asset to My Collection.

Please send the card details or cert number through chat or to support@alt.xyz so we can further assist you.

How long after a new product is released will be uploaded to the Alt asset universe?

Alt will add newly released basketball, football, baseball, soccer, hockey, and Pokémon sets to its asset universe and make them fully searchable around one month after release.
