Once you’ve added cards to your collection, Card Router’s optimization engine analyzes millions of buylist prices across multiple vendors to find the best combination for maximizing your collection’s value.
How Optimization Works
Card Router’s algorithm considers:
- Current buylist prices from all supported vendors
- Card condition and foil type to match exact pricing
- Minimum order size for each vendor
- Buylist stock levels to ensure buylist quantities
The result is a personalized optimization report that shows you exactly which cards to sell to which vendors for maximum profit.
