Re: the card in your hand.
Not what someone is asking for it — what one actually sold for. Free, no account, and no floor underneath it, because most tools quietly stop caring somewhere around a dollar.
No sign-up. Nothing to connect. It works on the next click.
Why this exists
The plastic costs more than the card.
Professional grading, per card
$80.00
Anything worth less than that
under water
That is the whole entry rule, and it is arithmetic rather than a line somebody drew. Below the grading fee, sealing the card in acrylic destroys value — a $60 common is under water for exactly the same reason a 30-cent one is.
Sold, not asking
An asking price is what somebody hopes to get. A sold price is what somebody paid. Every free tool at this end of the market shows the first one, because live listings are cheap to collect; the second has to be paid for by the lookup, which is where this project’s costs actually go.
How it works
Four steps, no catch.
Ask what it sold for
Not what someone is asking — what a copy actually changed hands for, graded copies included. Free, no account, and no floor underneath it, because most tools quietly stop caring somewhere around a dollar and that is precisely where the questions start.
See the gap
Grading runs about $80. The card is a common with a bent-looking dragon on it. Stacking those two numbers is not a punchline here, it is the measurement — it tells you whether a slab in a bin is worth lifting out of it.
Bid on the acrylic
Slabs come out of the vault and go up for auction, settled in the token. That is what the token is for. There is nothing else to do with it and nothing else is claimed.
Fees restock both
Trading fees pay the data bill and buy the next box of graded nothing. Both get posted with what they cost, so the spending is something you can check rather than something you are told.
The stage
Graded, and barely worth it.
Go and look one up.
Any card in either game, no floor, no account. If it books under $80 it costs more to grade than it is worth, which is exactly the population this site is about.
