Scores and Leaderboards
The Scores tab shows how your collection stacks up against other collectors. TopVault calculates a score for your ranked goal and places it on regional and global leaderboards.
How scoring works
Each goal has a TopVault Score based on the collectibles associated with it. The score factors in market value, rarity, and the breadth of items in the goal. Higher-value and rarer items contribute more to the score.
Only your ranked goal for each collection type appears on the leaderboards. You can have many goals, but you choose one per collection type to compete with.
Setting a ranked goal
To rank a goal for leaderboards:
- Open the goal you want to rank.
- Edit the goal and toggle "Set as ranked goal?" on.
- Confirm the change.
Only one goal per collection type can be ranked at a time. Ranking a new goal automatically unranks the previous one. Your leaderboard position updates at the next scoring cycle.
Leaderboard views
The Scores tab offers several ways to slice the leaderboards:
Regional vs Global
- Regional: compare against collectors in your geographic area.
- Global: compare against all TopVault users worldwide.
Scope
Within each region level, you can filter by:
- All: scores that include both cards and products.
- Items: scores for individual cards only.
- Products: scores for boxed sets and product-type collectibles only.
Switch between these using the segmented control at the top of the Scores tab.
Reading a leaderboard
Each entry on a leaderboard shows:
- Rank position: where the collector places.
- Collector name and profile: the account behind the score.
- Goal name and color: which goal is ranked.
- TopVault Score: the numeric score.
- Item count: how many collectibles are in the goal.
- Collection value: the estimated market value of associated items.
Your own predicted position is highlighted, even if official rankings have not updated yet. Predicted positions appear with a visual indicator to distinguish them from confirmed rankings.
Outdated scores
If you change which goal is ranked, your old score may still appear on the leaderboard until the next update cycle. Outdated entries are marked so other collectors know the ranking will refresh.
Top scoring items
From the Scores tab, you can navigate to a view of the highest-scoring individual items. This is useful for understanding which cards and products carry the most weight in the scoring system.
Using scores to compete
Scores work well as a friendly competition tool. If you want to compare progress with friends:
- Make sure each person has TopVault and a ranked goal in the same collection type.
- Check the Regional or Global leaderboard to see how you compare.
- As you add items to your ranked goal, watch your score and position change over time.
The leaderboard updates regularly, so progress shows up as you grow your collection.
