About tcgrate: a terminal, not a price checker

Every trading card game is a small economy: thousands of cards, a few dozen sets, a stream of new printings, and a market that reprices all of it every day. Sites that cover this look at one game and one card at a time. We look at all of it as one market — 26 games, 3,146 sets, 333,401 priced cards — with a shared daily index so games can be compared on one scale.

What's here

• A market index and a per-game index, chain-linked daily since February 8, 2024.
• A heatmap where area is money and color is direction.
• Movers by day, week and month, and a feed of cards moving against their own game.
• Every set with its own index since release, every card with full price history and printings side by side.
• Where it's cheaper — TCGplayer against Cardmarket for the same card.
• Calls with a public scorecard.

Where the data comes from

Prices are TCGplayer market prices, published daily through an open mirror of its catalog. Card images come from the same catalog and belong to the games' publishers; we keep our own copies so pages load fast. Cardmarket prices come from open, game-specific APIs. Nothing here is scraped from sold listings, and nothing is estimated from screenshots.

tcgrate is independent: not affiliated with TCGplayer, Cardmarket or any publisher. Outgoing links may be affiliate links; that never changes which price is shown.
