Meet the New Puckly AI Assistant

Why We Built This

Hobby decisions move fast. Reddit threads blow up, X (Twitter) gets loud, a rookie pops off — and box/single prices react in hours. Until now, you had to chase information across forums, socials, and stores and still guess.

Puckly’s new AI Assistant ends the guesswork. It pulls live market chatter, verified single‑card prices, and actual store inventory & trends into one concise answer. Ask a question; get the full picture.

What’s New (and Why It’s Different)

We didn’t just add a search bar. We built a 3‑phase agentic system that investigates like a researcher and answers like a seasoned collector.

1) Real‑Time Market Intelligence

• Scans Reddit (r/hockeycards, r/hockey), trusted news, and collector posts on X

• Detects sentiment shifts and breaking stories that move prices

• Pulls single‑card comps (PSA 10, raw, recent sales) via SportsCardsPro

• Surfaces checklists & rookie lists so you know what’s actually in the product

Benefit: See hype before it turns into higher prices — and verify it with comps.

2) Puckly Database Intelligence

• Searches Puckly’s canonical products and checks 8+ stores in seconds

• Shows current prices, 30/60/90‑day trends, and in‑stock status

• Filters to your budget and adds Zeeree Ratings for quick quality reads

Benefit: Find every product tied to your chase, compare prices instantly, and spot value.

3) Intelligent Synthesis

• Merges live sentiment + store prices + history into a single recommendation

• Explains why (timing, alternatives, risks) — not just what to buy

• Flags inflated pricing and suggests better options when they exist

Benefit: Walk away with a decision you can defend.

How This Helps You Win the Hobby

• Stay ahead of spikes: Catch momentum on rookies with real‑time chatter + comps.

• Buy with confidence: Every recommendation includes price history, store links, and context.

• Optimize budget: Get the best value product for your target rookie or team.

• Save hours: One question replaces tab‑hopping across forums, socials, and shops.

• Avoid traps: The Assistant will tell you when a box looks overheated — and why.

Live Examples

Q: “What’s the hype around Lane Hutson rookies?”

• Reads Reddit threads about his recent play and usage

• Checks X for sentiment and highlights key collector takes

• Pulls SportsCardsPro comps for his Young Guns (PSA 10 / raw / recent sales)

• Explains why demand is rising and which products have his cards

Q: “Should I buy 2024–25 Upper Deck Series 1 now or wait?”

• Summarizes current chatter (Celebrini/Hutson) and supply expectations

• Compares live store prices and 30‑day trend

• Recommends buy now or hold with alternatives and timing notes

Why This Is an Industry First

Other tools focus on a slice of the puzzle:

• 130point → search results only

• Beckett → pricing data, little market context

• CardLadder → price tracking, minimal social/research

Puckly combines all of it: real‑time web/social research + multi‑store price comparison + historical trends + sentiment analysis + a curated hockey database. It’s the complete picture, built for this hobby.

What Collectors Are Saying

“I finally stopped doom‑scrolling and started buying smarter.”

Getting Started (Takes 30 Seconds)

1. Open Puckly and log in.

FAQ

Is this only for sealed boxes? No. The Assistant pulls single‑card comps and uses them to inform sealed product value.

How current is the data? Social and news analysis runs in real time; prices and availability refresh continuously from our tracked stores.

Will it recommend waiting? Yes. When supply or sentiment suggests better value later, it will say so — and explain why.

Does it work outside Canada? We support Canadian and select US stores; prices are shown in CAD with context.
