Hey everyone,

I’m excited to present **PHASMA Cards** — a graded Pokémon market data platform built as the collector’s market terminal.

Live here: ([https://phasma.cards](https://phasma.cards))

The goal is simple: help collectors find any card’s \*\*true market value\*\*, not just the last noisy sale.

### What it is

PHASMA Cards tracks graded Pokémon market data and updates daily.

It surfaces:

- Fair values
- Liquidity
- Populations
- Indices
- Sales context across tracked sets

Think collector terminal, not another price screenshot feed.

* * *

### What’s live

From the current snapshot:

- Tracked market cap across live sets
- Millions of graded copies rolled up
- Dozens of sets with card × grade atoms
- Daily movers on vintage and modern slabs (Charizard, Suicune 1st Edition, Blaine’s Arcanine, Espeon Holo, Houndoom, Misty’s Gyarados, and more)

The product is built around \*\*card × grade atoms\*\* in a ledger-style roll-up, so values, populations, and indices stay consistent instead of depending on a single listing.

* * *

### Who it’s for

- Collectors who want fair value before they buy or sell
- Graded-card investors tracking liquidity and population
- Set collectors comparing 1st Edition vs Unlimited, PSA 8 vs PSA 9, etc.
- Anyone tired of screenshot-only “comps”

* * *

This is an early public version. Methodology is available on the site. Feedback on coverage, UX, and which sets/grades to add next is very welcome.

Try it: [[https://phasma.cards](https://phasma.cards)]  
We’re just getting started.

After all your antics, you think we are going to touch anything you create? Comical.

You don’t have to use anything I create, @Afre .  
But the fact that you keep showing up to comment on it is pretty funny.  
If you’re really that uninterested, why are you spending so much time talking about it?  
Maybe focus on your own projects instead of worrying about mine.

This looks great, Phasma. Can you talk a bit about your DAO’s strategy and vision? The pivot from surgical robotics to Pokemon card valuations must have been tough. But it seems to be a step in the right direction.

This is a great example of what is possible to accomplish with Caffeine AI. Keep up the good work.

A story that we’ve all heard a thousand times by now.

Has the DAO considered a strategic partnership with Caffeine AI? Examples of great Caffeine apps like this one are what ICP and Caffeine AI need to bring in users and adoption.

The surgical robotics idea was paused because there wasn’t enough interest or funding to take it further.

We’ve since shifted our focus toward Pokémon and the data around card valuations, which has a much more active market and plenty of interesting on-chain potential.  
So yes, the strategy evolved. 😄

I’d definitely be open to a strategic partnership with Caffeine AI. I think there’s a lot of potential there. That said, I’m not sure there’s currently enough alignment on the Caffeine side to make a partnership realistic, so there are probably some relationship and alignment issues we’d need to work through first.

That seems to be a wise decision. I think we both agree that is a good solution. Everybody is looking forward to the next evolution of Phasma DAO maybe some ghostbusters / pokemon mashup branding. Gotta catch em all!

Haha, who knows what the next PHASMA evolution will look like. 👻  
Pokémon definitely fits the ghost theme though. Gotta catch ’em all! 😂
