- How accurate are Pokemon card prices on your site?
- Our prices are updated daily from TCGPlayer, the leading Pokemon card marketplace. We aggregate pricing data across all conditions (Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played) and provide market averages. For graded cards, we source real sales data from eBay across multiple grading companies including PSA, CGC, BGS, and SGC.
- Is the Pokemon price tracker really free to use?
- Yes! Our core price tracking features are completely free. You can browse card prices, view 3 days of price history, and use basic calculators without any signup. Premium features like extended history (6 months on API plan, 12+ months on Business), advanced grading ROI calculators, population reports, and higher API limits have paid tiers starting at $9.99/month.
- What is the grading ROI calculator and how does it work?
- Our grading ROI calculator helps you determine if sending a card for grading is worth the cost. It supports PSA, CGC, BGS, and SGC for both English and Japanese cards. The calculator compares your raw card value against potential graded values (grades 8, 9, 9.5, 10), factoring in grading fees, shipping, and estimated grade probability to give you expected ROI before submitting.
- How often are Pokemon card prices updated?
- Card prices are updated daily with fresh data from TCGPlayer. Free users get 3 days of price history, API plan includes 6 months, and Business plan provides 12+ months of historical data for tracking long-term trends. Our interpolation system ensures smooth price charts even when market data is sparse.
- Do you have a Pokemon card API for developers?
- Yes! We offer a comprehensive Pokemon TCG API with daily-updated pricing for English and Japanese cards, graded card prices (PSA, CGC, BGS, SGC), sealed product data, and population reports (Business tier). Our free tier includes 100 credits per day. The API plan ($9.99/mo) offers 20,000 credits/day with Japanese data and sealed products. Business plan ($99/mo) adds population reports and 200,000 credits/day.
- Do you support Japanese Pokemon cards and international pricing?
- Yes! We fully support Japanese Pokemon cards including pricing, PSA graded values, and sealed products. Browse Japanese sets, track Japanese cards in your collection, and calculate grading ROI for JP cards. API users can access all Japanese data using the language=japanese parameter. Both languages include condition-adjusted pricing (NM, LP, MP), graded sales data, and card images.
- What grading companies do you support for price tracking?
- We track graded card prices from PSA, CGC, BGS (Beckett), and SGC for both English and Japanese cards. Our database includes real eBay sales data for grades 1-10 (including half grades like 9.5 for CGC/BGS). You can compare prices across grading companies to make informed decisions about which service to use.
- What makes your site different from TCGPlayer or other price guides?
- Unlike TCGPlayer (a marketplace), we're focused on analytics and investment tools. We offer multi-grading ROI calculators (PSA, CGC, BGS, SGC), population reports, Set EV analysis, sealed product tracking, and a powerful API. We support both English and Japanese cards - something most price guides don't offer. Business tier includes 12+ months of historical data.
