Our methodology
Price signals without false precision.
Every displayed number is labeled by source and purpose. Global references, approximate peso conversions, and Philippine listings are never blended into a single mystery price.
Four separate values
- TCG market reference from daily upstream pricing data.
- Indicative PHP conversion, clearly labeled and not a local sale.
- Lowest currently visible Philippine offer.
- Median of comparable currently visible local offers.
Freshness windows
Offers checked within six hours are current. From six to seventy-two hours we show the cached offer and trigger a background refresh. After seventy-two hours the vendor row remains visible but its price is hidden until a successful check completes.
Matching and removals
We match exact external identifiers first, then exact set code, collector number, language, and finish. Ambiguous title-only matches are quarantined. An offer is removed only after two successful scans do not find it; a failed request never means sold out.
