About Cartavalo

Cartavalo is a small, independent iPhone app that scans trading cards and shows what they sell for. The articles on this site are written by the same team, for collectors who want a straight answer to "is this card worth anything?".

Where the prices come from

Card prices are Cardmarket market data (trend price, lowest listing and 30-day average) read through the TCGdex API. Amounts in other currencies are converted from euros with the European Central Bank reference rate of that day. Every table says when its prices were checked, because card prices move every week.

How articles are written

• One article at a time, on questions collectors actually search for.
• Numbers are taken from the sources listed under each article, never estimated.
• Articles are updated when prices change a lot; the date at the top shows the last update.
