Positioning
A diversified portfolio of the assets a collector would name without being prompted — the subjects, sets and issues that have anchored the market across decades and categories. Intended to be selected for durable cultural standing and observable trading activity, not for any single sport, player or year.
- Icon-tier assets carry the longest and densest public transaction record in the hobby, across auction houses and marketplaces alike.
- Because the tier spans categories and eras, a portfolio can hold it without concentrating in one sport's cycle.
- These are the assets most likely to have comparable sales at the moment a valuation is struck, which is what a daily indicative figure requires.

Index methodology
- Standing, not scarcity alone
- Assets are screened for sustained recognition across at least two decades of market history, so a recent price spike alone does not qualify an issue.
- Market depth
- A minimum observable transaction history across multiple independent venues, so valuation does not rest on a single sale.
- Grading quality
- Certification from an established third-party grading service, with grade and population recorded at acquisition.
- Concentration limits
- Documented caps on exposure to any single subject, category or price band.
Status
- Liquidity score: 8.6 / 10 — illustrative composite of transaction frequency and market depth.
- Valuation confidence: High — Comparable sales are frequent enough at most price bands that a daily indicative figure would rarely depend on a stale print.
- Legal status: no vehicle formed, no assets held, no offering qualified. See structure and legal.
Risk
- Icon status is a judgement about culture, and culture moves. An issue that anchors the market today may not in a decade.
- The tier's visibility makes it the first place speculative money arrives and the first place it leaves.
- Diversification does not eliminate investment risk. Collectible assets are illiquid, volatile and may lose value.
- Liquidity is not guaranteed. A daily indicative valuation is not the same as the ability to transact daily, and no secondary market may develop.
- No offering has been qualified. If an offering is ever made, its risk factors will be set out in full in the applicable offering documents, which will supersede this summary.
