How prices work in TCG House
Every price in TCG House shows where it comes from and how it was calculated. This is how to read the prices on the card page, in lists and in your collection.
Two sources, always named
Cardmarket is the European marketplace and the default. TCGplayer is the US marketplace; you only see its price when there is no Near Mint median from Cardmarket. The dollar price is then converted to euros at the European Central Bank rate.
In lists, search results, your collection and wishlist, a small label sits next to the amount: CM for Cardmarket, US for the converted TCGplayer price. Without a price it says —; such a card does not count towards the value of your collection.
The main price: what sellers are asking now
The same rule applies everywhere, in this order: 1. the median of the Near Mint listings on Cardmarket; 2. otherwise the US TCGplayer price in euros; 3. otherwise the cheapest Near Mint listing on Cardmarket; 4. otherwise —. We do not show sales averages or average asking prices.
Below the price it says why it is there, for example "Cardmarket · median of 42 listings · read 21 October 2026". The median is the middle listing: half ask less, half ask more, and one seller with an absurd price does not change it. The i button next to the title explains that price.
If it says "TCGplayer (US)", there was no Near Mint median from Cardmarket; if Cardmarket does have listings, the lowest one is shown too. If it says "lowest listing", there was no median and no TCGplayer price: that amount may be an outlier.
Per condition
The card page has a block called "Cardmarket listings by condition": per condition the median, the lowest price and the number of listings. Cardmarket uses seven conditions, from best to worst: Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Good, Light Played, Played and Poor. More in the condition guide.
Cardmarket shows at most the 50 cheapest listings per card. For popular cards, more expensive listings are therefore not included, and the page says so.
If a condition has no listings, the app calculates an estimate from the Near Mint price; Played, for example, is about 45% of it. Such an amount is labelled "estimate".
Per language
English and Japanese cards: per condition, as above. Japanese cards get their price from the Japanese listings on Cardmarket.
German, French, Spanish and Italian: the lowest Near Mint listing on Cardmarket ("from"). We only have a median for English and Japanese; we don't have those languages per condition yet.
How fresh
Prices in lists and your collection are updated every night; the card page fetches the latest figures. The condition block shows when Cardmarket was read: usually the same or the previous day, sometimes older for cards that rarely trade.
The price chart shows listings from 23 October 2026.
Graded cards
Graded prices (PSA, BGS, CGC …) come from real sales on eBay. That is separate from the Cardmarket price. See also the guide to PSA, BGS and CGC.
Frequently asked questions
What do CM and US next to a price mean?
CM: the price comes from Cardmarket, the European marketplace: the median of the Near Mint listings, or, without a median and without a TCGplayer price, the lowest one. US: there is no Near Mint median from Cardmarket, so this is the US TCGplayer price, converted to euros. —: no price known.
Why are there no sold prices any more?
Cardmarket doesn't refresh its sales averages reliably and lumps all conditions and languages together. What sellers are asking now for a Near Mint card in one language says more about what you will actually pay.
A price doesn't match what I see on Cardmarket. What now?
Let us know via the contact page, with the card, the language and a screenshot from Cardmarket. We would also like to hear about a Japanese card without a price while there are Japanese listings.
