How do I find out what a card is worth?

Find its collector number and set, then match it against the ranking above or look it up in the Luma app. Photo scanning can also help find a card from any of the seven supported games.

Why do your values differ from TCGplayer?

TCGplayer prices the North American market in dollars; Cardmarket prices the European market in euros. The same card can be worth noticeably more on one side of the Atlantic than the other, depending on how scarce it is in each region. We publish the European value, because that is where you actually buy and sell.

Is a French card worth as much as the English one?

Rarely. French print runs were smaller on older sets, which lifts certain cards, while English dominates the modern market. The Cardmarket guide gives one value per card across all languages: use it as a baseline, then check listings in your own language before trading.

What makes a card valuable?

Condition first, then rarity, then the set and the language. A PSA 10 copy can be worth several times an ungraded one. The amounts in this ranking refer to ungraded copies in good condition.

Where these values come from

Source: the public Cardmarket price guide, Europe's reference marketplace. Amounts are in euros, never converted from dollars.
We use the trend value — a smoothed average of recent sales — rather than the day's lowest listing, which a single underpriced offer would distort.
Recorded once a day. The date at the top of this page is Cardmarket's publication date, not the date of your visit.
Only catalogued single cards are ranked. Sealed products such as booster boxes are excluded, even when they are worth more.
A Cardmarket value covers a card as a whole: it separates neither language nor condition. Treat it as an order of magnitude, not an appraisal.
