## About
Mantel provides a community, marketplace aggregation, price tracking, and SLAM scores for sports cards and trading card games. Collectors use Mantel to share pickups, compare prices, and track market trends.

## What Are SLAM Scores
SLAM (Secondary Liquidity and Momentum) scores are Mantel's proprietary 0-100 rating that measures tradeability, consistency, and accessibility to determine how close a card is to being equivalent to cash on the secondary market. A high SLAM score means a card is actively selling at market price. SLAM scores help collectors evaluate real demand versus inflated ask prices.

## Key Features
- Community: Collectors share pulls, discuss players, and connect around shared interests
- Marketplace Aggregation: Real-time listings from eBay and Fanatics Collect in one searchable feed
- Comps: Recent completed sales data showing what cards actually sold for
- SLAM Scores: 0-100 market activity rating for individual cards
- Wish List: Alerts when target cards appear at desired prices
- Market Trends: Price movement tracking over days, weeks, and months
