feat: premium card symbol signal #98

Description

@hjacque

Goal

Surface a premium demand signal for cards carrying exclusive symbols or markings — indicators of provenance, rarity tier, or event exclusivity that drive collector premiums beyond what rarity alone explains.

Examples of premium symbols

  • Pokémon Center badge — exclusive to Pokémon Center releases
  • Event stamps — tournament, championship, or promotional event markings
  • Regional exclusives — symbols tied to specific country or retailer exclusives (Japan, Korea, Taiwan/HK)

Signal

  • Boolean or tiered flag per card (e.g. no symbol / standard promo / premium symbol)
  • Presence of a premium symbol amplifies the card-level Popularity Score
  • Exact weighting requires calibration from eBay sold data (feat: eBay sold listings as a Price Source #84)

Design notes

  • Card-level attribute (stored on Product or a card metadata extension)
  • Sub-signal feeding into the card-level Popularity Score (see parent issue)
  • Symbols need to be catalogued per Product — initially may require manual tagging

Blocked by

  • None (can be data-modelled independently)
