# Editorial policy

## Research and AI assistance

Card research is gathered by an AI research pass with live web access, instructed to follow the rules in our guides: exact identity, completed sales only, no invented figures, and “unknown” when evidence is missing. AI output is treated as a draft. Every sale and population figure is then checked against its source, automatically where the page allows and otherwise by an independent second pass. Figures that fail are excluded.

## Review states

Card pages move through draft, in review and published. In-review pages are visible for editorial checking, carry a banner, and are excluded from search indexes. Only the editor publishes a page.

## Independence and money

We do not accept payment for coverage, rankings or links, and we do not buy or sell the cards we cover. If that changes, affected pages will carry a disclosure at the top.

## Corrections

Email [corrections@cardvolume.com](mailto:corrections@cardvolume.com) or use the “Report it” link on any card. Material corrections are noted on the page with a date.

## What we will not publish

-   Price predictions or buy/sell recommendations.
-   Asking prices presented as values.
-   Figures we cannot trace to a source page.
-   Seller or auction photographs we do not have rights to.
