How does GRLD rank XY sets?

Every set is ranked by the summed market value of its 20 most expensive cards, pulled live from PriceCharting and updated continuously. This surfaces sets whose chase cards are in the strongest demand — a better investment signal than raw set size or age. Rankings update automatically as the market moves.
