The most common questions about Pokémon card prices and using Collectory.
Collectory compares Pokémon card prices across Korea, Japan, the US, and China in one place. It aggregates auction results and real sale prices to show per-card and per-set values with price history.
Prices are collected from real transactions across sources — Korean café auctions and completed buy-now sales, Bunjang, Snkrdunk (Japan), eBay (US), and PriceCharting. Completed sales are prioritized over open listings.
The same card can differ by release region, demand, exchange rate, and popularity. Collectory never mixes regional prices and shows each separately; the Cross-Market menu lets you compare gaps between regions.
Major card and set prices update automatically every day. The representative price is based on the most recent completed sale by transaction date.
Japanese cards are valued in native Japanese yen. Prices are not inflated through currency conversion, and Japanese values use Japanese data only.
