What is Momentum Score?

The Cardalytics Momentum Score measures recent sports card market activity for a player. It combines changes in sales volume with price movement from comparable cards sold across recent periods.

A positive score indicates increasing market momentum, while a negative score indicates cooling activity. Players with lower sales volume receive less weight so a small number of sales does not overly influence the rankings.

Momentum Score is a market activity indicator and is not a prediction of future card values.
