Chronicle of Changes.

Refined1 entry

  • Proxies in a shared binder or a trade now carry $0.00 and a clear amber PROXY flag instead of the real card's market price. They're still allowed — list a proxy to give away or trade it as a proxy — but a shared list's total and a trade's value no longer count it. Bulk-adding a whole collection or location to a showcase (and the Collection "add matching" action) now skips proxies unless you tick "Include proxies (listed at $0)".

Resolved1 entry

  • Trades never actually flagged proxies. A proxy offered or requested in a trade showed no PROXY badge and was priced at full market value — so a $34 "proxy" read just like the real card on a proposal. Trades now flag proxies, value them at $0, and show a one-line notice when a trade includes any.
Notes from the Archivist

A trust fix more than a feature. At a real table, a proxy listed at the genuine card's price is a way to be misread — honestly or not. Showcases and trades now say the quiet part out loud: a proxy is a proxy, and it's worth $0 to the person across the table.
