Frequently Asked Questions

What prices do you use?

We use real market data from recent sales. You can toggle between raw (ungraded) prices and graded (PSA 9) prices depending on the condition of the cards being traded.

Can I add multiple cards to each side?

Yes! Click "Add Another Card" to add as many cards as you need. The calculator will sum up the total value on each side and compare them.

What's considered a "fair" trade?

We consider a trade fair if the values are within 10% of each other. Market prices fluctuate, so a small difference is normal and acceptable.
