How to tell if a Pokémon card trade is fair

A trade is fair when both sides walk away with about the same value. The calculator calls it fair when the two totals are within 5% of each other. A few things the totals don’t show:

• Market price, not asking price. The prices here come from recent sales. Listings that never sell are often much higher, so don’t use them to value your side.
• Condition. Prices are for clean, ungraded copies. Check corners, edges, the surface and the centering of every card in hand. A worn or creased card is worth noticeably less.
• Graded cards. A card in a PSA, CGC or BGS slab trades at its graded price, which can be several times the ungraded one. Compare graded with graded.
• One big card or many small ones. A single valuable card is usually easier to sell later than a stack of cheaper cards with the same total.
• New sets move fast. Prices of cards from a set that just came out often drop in the first weeks as more packs get opened. Check the price movers before trading a brand new card.
• Fakes. For expensive cards, look at the card in person before you agree. Compare the print, colours and texture with a card you know is real.

Questions

How do I know if a Pokémon card trade is fair?

Add the cards you give and the cards you get. The calculator adds up today’s ungraded market price on each side; when both sides are within 5% of each other, the trade is fair on value.

Which prices does the trade calculator use?

Ungraded market prices for 29,806 cards, updated every day. Graded cards (PSA, CGC) and condition are not included, so adjust for those yourself.

Can I share a trade?

Yes. Every card you add is saved in the page link, so “Copy link to this trade” gives a link the other person can open to see the same trade.

Is a trade fair if one card is graded?

Not on the raw numbers alone. The calculator uses ungraded prices, and a graded card, especially a PSA 10, often sells for several times its ungraded price. Look up the graded price of that card and compare that instead.

Is one expensive card worth the same as several cheaper ones?

On paper, yes, if the totals match. In practice one valuable card is usually easier to sell later than a stack of cheaper ones, so many collectors ask a little extra when they trade one big card for several small ones.
