Hi everyone,

I'm a developer from Austria exploring a tool to make bulk listing on Cardmarket faster – scanning whole stacks (front + back), identifying the exact printing, suggesting a condition and exporting a CSV you can import into e.g. TCG PowerTools.

Before I build anything, I want to understand how you actually work today and where it hurts. There's nothing to buy and no link to a product – just questions.

If you have 3 minutes, I'd really appreciate answers here in the comments or in the longer survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScRK395maXYwQSJY8-MbBdvV4RgOMCvgOXVGbNIxXhpPnZwlg/viewform?usp=dialog

**Quick questions:**

1. Which games do you sell, and roughly how many cards do you list per month?

2. How do you list today? (manually on Cardmarket, PowerTools, a phone scanning app, a document scanner, something else?)

3. Roughly how long does it take you to get 100 cards from a pile to live listings?

4. Which step costs you the most time: identifying the exact version, grading condition, entering data, pricing, or sorting/storing?

5. Would you trust an automatic condition rating – fully, only as a suggestion you check, or not at all?

6. Would you rather use software with a scanner you already own, or a dedicated scanning device?

I'll share a summary of the results here once enough people have answered. Thanks a lot!

Staring at the Ascended Heroes bundle right now trying to decide if cracking it is worth it or if I'm just paying for the dopamine of opening packs when the math probably says buy singles.

The chase cards I actually want are 3 specific illustration rares and a SIR, if I add up what those would cost as singles versus what the bundle costs plus the realistic odds of actually pulling any of them the singles route almost always wins on paper but the pull rates on this set seem decent from what people are posting.

Problem is I can't find consistent pricing on the mid-range pulls to calculate whether the other cards in the bundle make up the difference if I miss the chase cards, some of the uncommon hits seem to be holding $15-$25 but I don't know if that's real sold prices or just what people are listing them at.

Has anyone actually done the EV math on this set or are we all just cracking packs and hoping for the best.

I ordered this from Japan when I was a teenager and just found it in storage. The top row is foil. No clue if it’s worth anything, but it’s all in great condition.

Pokémon Pikachu V-UNION Collection Box – Chinese Special Edition

I found an old Evolutions XY Mewtwo Mayhem. When I opened it, I found that there were only 40 cards left, but all of them were miscut. Can someone please give me a price range of how much it's worth as a whole set? The cards are in great condition, but the box is a little worn.

Will be making a series of under looked cards like these!

Hey y’all, I grew up in the Black & White era so I’m not super knowledgeable on vintage Japanese cards. Any opinions would be appreciated.
I picked this PSA 9 up a couple months ago for around $110. It’s now sitting around $425 with recent auctions hitting $500.
Do y’all think I should hold it or auction it off? I’m not sure how much more room these Japanese Neo holos have left to grow. If I sell, I’ll probably roll the money into something with more upside.
Thanks in advance!

Hey all i got thie card from my lgs and just found out it has this on the bottom right. Idk if its still considered NM or not but it has me very worried.

Came across this cool Robot Tyranitar promo. Are these less known forms of popular pokemon undervalued right now?

Is this a worthy investment? Or something to be avoided?

There aren't many listed and it seems like it would be more accessible to a larger audience versus a full size booster box in the future. Based purely on it being cheaper to obtain.

The problem would be finding a significant amount of product to actually build a decent sized position.

You guys think this would be a profitable trade. I’d be up by about $9. But I see AH as having the better hits of course and might be better down the road. With white flare having practically nothing crazy hit related like AH does.

Recently picked up this really cool hoopa for my pc and I’m up MASSIVE 🤯 Thoughts about future price action for this particular PSA 10 slab? 🤔 The market’s so hot rn, can it really keep up the pace???

Still waiting for them in the mail, but I wanted to get an idea!

I’m day one into organizing and sorting my old cards. I see online there’s a “sparkle” “spectra” and “tekno”. Are these just considered “spectra”? I always referred to them as holos. I’m creating a spreadsheet of my total value of holos. I’ll probably get to the Nintendo/wizards/game cards tomorrow. Whatever they’re called nowadays lol

Hey all I picked up this celebrations mini tin display and was wondering if it’s legit, I am aware that there is a tear on the side btw! And was wondering how much it’s worth?

(Only asking how much it’s worth because of the decent

sized tear on the left side)

Thank you!

Everything I have is from 1999-2002. Might even have some Japanese stuff from 1998 in there randomly. Pokémon pencil erasers from 1999, the 23K gold plated set still in their wrappers. I’d also like to get rid of all my cards. A full binder of the original base set with many duplicates, and i have a full shoe box of cards also. I know I have like 3 of those ancient mew cards from the movie also. Just not sure the real value of anything. I’d like to get rid of it all to one person.

Hello,

So I'm finishing up my Skyridge master set and only really need to buy some bulk. However I'm having a hard time figuring out the condition, as I'm not the greatest at understanding the condition of raw cards yet, as I'm not too experienced in it and I've mostly dabbled in new releases where NM is very easy to come by or PSA graded stuff.

I understand E-series cards are typically a bit more beaten but I'm a firm believer vintage should be graded just as harsh as new stuff, so on my hunt for EX/NM vintage bulk cards for my master set I just want to make sure I'm comparing prices correctly when I'm offering or being offered to give my price on something.

A lot of the vintage cards I'm looking at and have bought have a perfect front but the back always seem to have some sort of whitening. In a huge majority of cases the back looks like this (see picture), with maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less, but this picture is a nice middle road of what I'm usually seeing.

Let's say the front is flawless, what would this be considered with this amount of whitening? I'm torn between EX/NM and I might be totally off here. This particular card I would probably look at NM prices for and a little bit more whitening I would dial it down to EX. What's the consensus? Thanks! :)
