Verification standard
- BCI prioritizes public auction records first, then uses widely reported private sales only when they are clear enough to matter to the market conversation.
- Fractional-interest transactions, publicity-only numbers, and unclear ownership transfers are excluded from boards that claim to represent full-card sales.
- When a better or more complete source appears, ranking pages and sales articles should be corrected instead of left to drift.

How corrections are handled
Recurring review
The Top 25 sales board is reviewed on a frequent cadence because sales data becomes stale quickly when blockbuster cards move.
Living article model
Single-player sales articles are treated as living editorial assets so new entrants can replace older results without rewriting the whole page.
BCI Dispatch
Rookie watch updates, board changes, and collector cheat sheets in one clean dispatch.
The main editorial site stays open. The email layer is for companion notes, watchlist changes, fresh rankings, and bonus download-style extras that make repeat visits worth it.
