The show
United Card Exchange sells on Whatnot through Bid With Bailey, live at 8PM ET. You bid, you win, and it ships to you sealed or gets opened on camera in a break. United Card Exchange also buys collections every day.
The desk
TCG Study re-prices 5,172 sealed products across 18 games nightly, against the live TCGplayer feed. If a price can’t be verified, it says so.
One side of this business sells product live on Whatnot. The other side runs an unattended engine that audits the sealed market nightly and publishes what it finds. Same company, same cards, two different jobs: and the research opens to anyone with a free desk account.
This is a real sequence, not a diagram for its own sake: each step only happens because the one before it did.
TCGplayer’s daily price file lands around 20:00 UTC. Nothing on our side moves before it does.
An unattended job re-prices every product in the library, rebuilds the movers tape, and signs the record with the date.
Every price the desk publishes is open with a free account, so a buyer can look up a box before they bid.
Real closes beat listings. Sales outrank asks, and contradictory prints are discarded rather than headlined.
Pulled live from the desk. The chip is the last 24 hours; the line beside it is the product’s whole recorded ledger, so the two can disagree: something up over a year can still be down today. Direction is carried by the arrow and the sign, never by colour alone, and a hollow final point means that close is an estimate rather than a verified sale.
The research desk is free to anyone with an account. Read it before you bid: that’s the point of publishing it.
