Data sources

Each source has one job.

TCGMarketWatch does not blend asking prices, catalog metadata and completed graded sales into an unexplained number. Every source keeps its role and timestamp.Last reviewed 31 July 2026

CardTrader raw market

CardTrader supplies active raw-card listings used for English and supported Japanese market observations. Near Mint eligibility, language and minimum offer depth are checked before a close can enter daily history. Active asks describe visible supply, not a completed transaction.

Verified graded sales

Completed graded-card records are discovered from eBay and retained only after card identity, language, grade and sale evidence pass the matching rules. PSA, BGS and CGC records remain separated by grade in the public history.

Catalog and publisher records

Official game catalogs and mapped provider records establish card identity, set, code, printing and imagery. Bandai sources support One Piece and Dragon Ball announcements; Riot Games sources support Riftbound announcements.

Currency and storage

EUR and USD displays use the platform exchange-rate service while the source currency remains preserved. PostgreSQL stores accepted daily observations, graded evidence and operational provenance used by the public research views.

Missing data

NO DATA means the required evidence is not currently available. TCGMarketWatch does not invent a value from a different language, printing, condition or unverified listing.
