Start with your own records.
Add the purchase price for each piece and review its market evidence. Pieces calculates an owned item’s gain or loss from its estimated value minus what you paid. The total depends on those records: a market estimate is not money already received.
For example, a fictional piece bought for $500 with an estimated value of $650 shows a $150 unrealized gain. If the estimate changes, that comparison changes too. The collection P&L guide explains the arithmetic and the difference between owned and sold results.
Build the card around the pieces you choose.
Open the P&L builder in Lab and choose the closet and owned or sold view. Start with Whole Closet, Most Expensive or Most Profit, then add or remove individual pieces. A custom title lets you name the collection shown on the card.
Keep a full-closet summary for the overall view, or make a smaller selection around the pieces you want to discuss. The card follows your selection, so check which items are included before interpreting its totals. Pieces awaiting a usable market result are not treated as completed estimates just to fill a card.
Record a sale when it happens.
Open the piece and choose Mark as Sold. Enter the final sale amount to move it into Sold Archive. You can attach proof of sale; contributing that sale to community pricing is a separate, optional choice. A recorded sale without proof is not presented as verified market evidence.
The sold P&L compares your entered sale amount with the recorded purchase price. It does not fetch your marketplace payout or automatically deduct selling fees, shipping or tax. Reconcile those costs yourself when you want net profit, and keep the meaning of the amount you record consistent. A listing that has not sold still belongs in the owned view.
Choose what the card shows.
Customize the title and background, choose dollars or percentages, and show or hide the invested amount. Review the finished card before sharing: its selected totals are information you are choosing to publish.
You can save or share a still PNG card. Animated backgrounds and advanced formats require Pieces+. The result is a visual summary of the selected collection, not a spreadsheet export, an appraisal or a guaranteed selling price.
Share the view that tells the story.
Post the finished card to the friends feed or use the phone’s sharing options. Collection sharing controls let you decide what others can browse, while the card gives you a separate, deliberately composed summary.
If a number looks unexpected, open the underlying pieces first. Confirm the selection, purchase amounts, sold status and market evidence before changing the presentation. Market value and resale price explains why an active ask, an estimate and an actual payout answer different questions.
