How this is measured
- Only cards that collectors chose to share and that we approved for the SlabID community feed are counted.
- A collector counts once per card each month, however many times they scanned it.
- Country is the country of the collector’s App Store account. Countries with less than 2% of the month’s cards, or fewer than 20 cards, are not shown.
- Players and sets appear only when more than one collector scanned them.
- SlabID collectors are not the whole card market, so these shares describe the SlabID community, not every collector.
