Chase Season is the community-voted market index for Pokémon TCG. Not a marketplace, not a portfolio. A daily ranking of the cards collectors are actually chasing — driven by community votes alongside transparent market data.
I came back to Pokémon collecting after 25 years away. Watching streams, rip-and-shippers, set openings — I noticed the same handful of cards always got the spotlight. But the more time I spent in collector communities, the more I saw something the hype cycle was missing: most collectors had their own chase. A specific card. Their card. And those chases almost never matched whatever was trending.
Chase Season started as an answer to that. A place to discover new cards by seeing what other people are chasing — not the five cards influencers are hyping this week, but the ones a quiet majority of collectors actually want.
Most price-tracking sites flatten the hobby into one ranking — usually whatever's most expensive, hyped, or recently sold. Chase Season treats the hobby as plural: every collector has their own chases, and the index that matters is the one built by collectors voting.
The Chase Index is therefore not a price list pretending to be authoritative. It's a composite of price, community votes, and recent attention — percentile-ranked and weighted to let community demand over-index a card relative to its price. That's the whole point.
Full methodology on the Chase Index page →Chase Season doesn't track your collection. There are good apps that do that. We track the collection — what collectors as a body are chasing, refreshed daily.
You don't sign up. You don't enter your inventory. You explore, you vote, you come back when next week's issue drops.
