TCG website map: from opens and pricing to grading and sold records
One card usually needs several sites: one for opens, one for identity, one for graded counts, one for regional supply, and one for sold comps.
Key points
- No single site gives you a universal market price.
- Identity comes first, then graded counts, then sold comps.
- Official sites and graders were checked on 2026-08-30.
Mashing every source into one “market price” is where most errors start. This map follows the order you actually work in: open packs, look up prices, verify identity, then reach for the regional tools.
Start here
| Site | Best for | Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Cardz.game | Online opens, Points, ship requests | Read pool, Points, and ship terms |
| CardZ Marketcap | PSA 10 price, POP, cap, rank | Cap is price times POP |
An open is money spent, so read the pool rules before you press the button. A market cap is a reference for a whole printing, not a guaranteed sale of your own copy.
Start operations with the Cardz.game guide. Once you have a name and a number, move to the PSA 10 lookup.
Grading, POP, and certs
PSA Pop, PSA Cert, GemRate, CGC Pop, and the Beckett Registry each answer one question: how many copies exist at a grade, or whether a cert number is genuine. None of them proves that a raw card is liquid, and none of them forecasts a return. Cert numbers can be abused, and PSA warns about exactly that.
China, Japan, and the rest of Asia
Jihuanshe carries CNY comps for the mainland market. SNKRDUNK lists authenticated Japanese items. The Asia Pokémon card search covers traditional Chinese identity, the Japanese card search covers JP prints, Pokémon.cn lists products, and the ONE PIECE official card list covers that game. Read all of them as identity and regional supply, never as a universal sold price.
North America, Europe, and public sold data
TCGplayer Market Price, eBay sold and completed listings, Cardmarket, and PriceCharting all publish usable numbers. Match the set, language, and condition first, then add foreign exchange, fees, shipping, and duty before you compare.
One-card workflow
- Confirm name, number, language, and edition on the official card list.
- Check the PSA cert and POP if the card is already slabbed.
- Read that printing’s PSA 10 fields and date on CardZ Marketcap.
- Pull regional sold comps for the same printing.
- Add foreign exchange, fees, shipping, duty, and condition.
For platform comparison rather than the singles market, read the comparison. Before you pay anyone, run the safety checklist.

FAQ
Which single site gives me a card’s market price?
None of them. Identity comes from an official card list, graded counts come from POP tools, and sold prices come from regional marketplaces. Combining them is the work.
Does a high PSA 10 population mean a card is common?
Not by itself. POP counts graded copies, not the world print run. Read it next to the reference price and the date on the same row.
Are Telegram group prices usable?
No. Group quotes and proxy-submission offers are not verified sources here. Use them as leads, then confirm on an official page or a public sold record.
Next steps
Work one card through the five-step list above, starting from the official card identity. To open packs, use Cardz.game.
