Every Market price in the app is what a card sells for right now, by condition.

  • Market prices update daily.
  • Pokémon (English and Japanese), Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece are covered, sealed products too.
  • Graded prices are by grading company and grade: a slab shows its own, and a raw card shows what it sells for graded.
  • Card details and pictures come from free card catalogs. A card from a search shows its price once you pick it.
  • When there’s no price for a condition, the app works it out from the Near Mint price.

Tap the ⓘ beside Market price on a card to see this in the app.

With Collector Pro and up:

On a raw card, tap PSA, CGC, BGS or another grading company beside Price history to see what it sells for graded: every grade’s price, how many are graded (population, when reported), and a chart of each grade’s price over time. 3.4× raw means a grade sells for 3.4 times the raw near-mint price. Raw goes back to the card’s own prices.

With Collector Pro and up:

Last sold is one real sale of this exact card and grade. Tap it for the latest sales from the past 90 days, newest first; ↗ opens a sale’s own page. It shows on a slab’s Slab prices, under each grade after you tap PSA or another company (tap See recent sales to open them right under the grade), in Verify a slab, and on a slab you take in on a deal. Real Sale Price is what a card sells for at shows; eBay sold opens a search of sold listings you browse yourself. Recent sales under a grade is its low and high price lately.

Graded prices on raw cards are part of Collector Pro.

Opening Inventory checks the prices that aren’t fresh any more by itself; Refresh prices (or pulling the list down) checks them right away. How often depends on your plan.

Prices are estimates, not offers. A price you type on a card always wins.
