Look up a Magic card price by locking the English name and set
An asking price is not a sale, so lock the English name, set, language, and foil or promo status before you compare a single Magic number.
Key points
- MTG numbers do not share a scheme with Pokémon or ONE PIECE.
- Hong Kong quotes HKD, Tokyo quotes JPY, Marketcap indexes in USD.
- On 2026-08-30 the Marketcap Top 100 summed to about $2.67B.
Step 1: identity
On 2026-08-31, magic.wizards.com was the official news and product door. That day mentioned Reality Fracture, a Secret Lair Superdrop dated 2026-08-31, and Arena Direct. Search the official English name first, then the set code.
Hong Kong counters price from that English name, so a Japanese name is only a hint. Compare the same print or you are not comparing anything.
Step 2: the market
| Tool | Use when | Watch |
|---|---|---|
| CardZ Marketcap | PSA 10 value, POP | Match the print. Read the date. |
| Hong Kong shop ask | Same-day stock | Ask in Mong Kok. HKD. |
| Japan specialist | In-person singles | Takadanobaba TC. JPY. |
On 2026-08-30 the Marketcap Top 100 summed to about $2.67B, and the number one row was the Pokémon Grey Felt Hat at $2,750. The board that day was mostly Pokémon plus some ONE PIECE. If an MTG card is missing, search the name rather than pasting $2,750 onto it. The method is PSA 10 multiplied by verified POP, and a missing figure stays blank.
For how to read the board, see the CardZ Marketcap guide. For grading steps, see the PSA 10 lookup.
Step 3: landed cost
In person, add the MTR fare. A Tokyo trip adds airfare or a proxy, paid in JPY. An online pull adds shipping, and Clove charges those fees in Japanese points. Hong Kong MTG box supply is thin, so ask two counters for the same single before you decide.
Common mistakes
- Using a translated name and landing on the wrong set.
- Treating Arena digital cards as paper sales.
- Treating Points buyback as market cap.
FAQ
Why is the English name so important?
Because Hong Kong counters price from it. A translated name can send you to the wrong set, and a wrong set is a wrong price.

On 2026-08-30 it summed to about $2.67B, with the Pokémon Grey Felt Hat at $2,750 in first place.
What if my MTG card is not on the board?
Search the card name instead of assuming a figure. The method is PSA 10 multiplied by verified POP, and anything missing stays blank.
Which currency should I compare in?
Pick one and convert everything into it. Hong Kong quotes HKD, Tokyo quotes JPY, and CardZ Marketcap indexes in USD.
