What’s changed
Newest first. The fixes are here as well as the features — if we get a price wrong, you should be able to find out that we did, and when we stopped.
- There's a Save image button on every answer now. It gives you a tidy PNG of the price, how many sales it's based on, the last one, and the date — for pasting into a thread when someone asks what their card is worth. On a computer you can copy it straight to the clipboard and paste it into a reply; on a phone it offers to share it wherever you're sending it.
- The site's name is now on the answer screen, so a screenshot of a price says where the price came from.
- Links to a card now unfurl as the price itself when you paste them into a chat or a group, instead of a bare address.
- Looking up a card we haven't priced before takes a few seconds, and the page now says what it's doing while it works rather than showing a bare spinner. It isn't a percentage, because we'd have to make the percentage up.
- Every card in a set now has its own page, sorted by what it's worth — and each card links to others from the same set, so there's somewhere to go next.
- The whole site is quicker. It was running from a server in Washington while its data sat in the UK; moving it to London cut the wait on a price from about eight tenths of a second to a third.
- Fixed a splash screen that could appear after the page had already loaded, which rather defeated the point of it.
- “Buy it today for” was sometimes showing a listing that wasn't the card. On an Umbreon VMAX selling for around £837, we were pointing at one listed at £44.75 — which was not that card. A listing now has to carry the right collector number and sit within a third of what the card actually sells for. Where we hide one, the page says how many and why: fakes and wrong printings collect at the cheap end, and an asking price is not evidence of anything.
- Prices appear straight away on the cards we keep updated, instead of loading in after the page.
- Added a privacy page and a plain affiliate disclosure. Some links to eBay earn us a commission; it never changes the prices shown, or which listing comes first.
- The answer screen now shows the last sale, graded prices if yours were slabbed, and how the price has moved — all of it worked out before, and thrown away.
- You can switch between the last 30 and 90 days of sales. Ninety finds more; thirty is more current on a card that's moving.
- The price no longer waits for live listings before it appears. Sold data is the answer; what's listed right now fills in behind it.
Prices come from real eBay UK sold listings, with the ones that would distort the answer taken out first. Price a card →
