# ChaseLedger: Full Public Reference

## Identity

ChaseLedger is a sports card financial operating system published at https://thechaseledger.com/. It helps collectors and resellers decide what to pay, preserve true cost basis, evaluate grading, estimate selling costs, and measure realized profit and return on investment.

Public educational content is credited to the ChaseLedger Editorial Team. The methodology is documented at https://thechaseledger.com/about/editorial-standards.

## Core definitions

- Landed cost = purchase price + buyer premium + acquisition tax + inbound shipping + allocated lot costs + relevant preparation or grading costs.
- Net proceeds = sale price + buyer-paid shipping − marketplace fees − payment processing − seller-paid shipping − advertising fees − other selling costs.
- Net profit = net proceeds − complete invested cost.
- ROI = net profit ÷ complete invested cost × 100.
- Break-even price is the sale price at which estimated net proceeds equal complete invested cost.
- A maximum auction bid works backward from expected resale value after selling costs, target profit or ROI, buyer premium, acquisition tax, and inbound shipping.

## Evidence standards

Comparable-sale research should use completed sales rather than asking prices, match the exact card identity where possible, account for grade and condition, preserve source links, and weigh recency and sample size. Estimates are decision support, not guaranteed market values.

Marketplace fee presets are simplified estimates. Actual fees can vary by category, order value, account, processor, promotion, shipping treatment, and tax treatment. Users should replace estimates with their known effective rates whenever possible.
