How Eyevo Gets Pokemon Card Prices: TCGPlayer, Cardmarket & eBay

By Julian

One of the most common questions I get: where does Eyevo get its prices? The answer: directly from the biggest Pokemon card marketplaces.

Here’s a breakdown of every price data point in Eyevo and how to use it.

Price Sources

Eyevo pulls pricing from three major marketplaces:

TCGPlayer (US Market)

TCGPlayer is the largest Pokemon card marketplace in the United States. Eyevo shows:

  • Market Price — The current going rate based on recent sales
  • Holofoil Market — Price for holographic versions
  • Reverse Holofoil Market — Price for reverse holo prints
  • 1st Edition Holofoil — Price for first edition holos (vintage cards)

TCGPlayer prices in Eyevo

Prices are in USD and updated regularly. Tap any TCGPlayer price to go directly to the card’s listing page.

Cardmarket (European Market)

Cardmarket is the go-to marketplace for European collectors. Eyevo shows:

  • 30-Day Average — Average selling price over the last 30 days
  • Trend Price — Cardmarket’s algorithmic price prediction
  • Reverse Holo Average — 30-day average for reverse holos
  • Reverse Holo Trend — Trend price for reverse holos

Cardmarket prices in Eyevo

Prices are in EUR. The 30-day average is usually the most reliable indicator of actual market value.

For sold listings and graded cards, Eyevo integrates with eBay search. You can:

  • Search for any card directly on eBay
  • Filter by grade (PSA 10, PSA 9, BGS, CGC, or raw)
  • See real sold listings for accurate market data

eBay search with grade selection

eBay is especially useful for:

  • Graded cards (PSA, BGS, CGC slabs)
  • Rare variants not listed on TCGPlayer/Cardmarket
  • Checking actual sold prices vs. listed prices

Choosing Your Price Source

In settings, you can choose your preferred price source:

  • Cardmarket (EUR) — Best for European collectors
  • TCGPlayer (USD) — Best for US collectors

Eyevo will prioritize prices from your selected source, falling back to the other if data isn’t available.

Supported currencies include:

  • USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD
  • JPY, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK
  • And many more

Exchange rates update every 24 hours. Select your currency in settings and all prices convert automatically.

Price Categories

Eyevo color-codes prices so you can quickly spot valuable cards:

CategoryPrice RangeColor
BudgetUnder €1Gray
Low Value€1 - €5Green
Medium Value€5 - €20Blue
High Value€20 - €50Orange
Premium€50 - €100Purple
Collectible€100+Red/Gold

When scanning through a collection, the color coding helps you instantly identify cards worth pulling out for closer inspection.

Collection Value Tracking

Eyevo calculates your total collection value by summing the best available price for each card. You can see:

  • Total collection value in your preferred currency
  • Individual card values
  • Value breakdown by set or collection

This makes it easy to track your collection’s worth over time or prepare for insurance documentation.

Which Price Should I Trust?

Different prices serve different purposes:

For selling:

  • Check TCGPlayer market price for US sales
  • Check Cardmarket 30-day average for EU sales
  • Check eBay sold listings for graded cards

For buying:

  • Compare across all three platforms
  • Factor in shipping costs
  • Consider condition carefully

For insurance/valuation:

  • Use the lower of TCGPlayer/Cardmarket
  • Document with screenshots
  • Update quarterly

Price Data Limitations

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Prices aren’t instant — Market prices update periodically, not in real-time
  • Condition matters — Listed prices assume Near Mint. Played cards are worth less.
  • Variants vary — Make sure you’re looking at the right version (holo vs non-holo, etc.)
  • Market volatility — Pokemon card prices can swing dramatically based on tournaments, reprints, and hype

Quick Summary

  • TCGPlayer = US market prices in USD
  • Cardmarket = European market prices in EUR
  • eBay = Sold listings and graded card prices
  • Choose your preferred source in settings
  • Prices convert to any currency automatically
  • Color coding helps spot valuable cards fast

Eyevo keeps pricing data updated so you always know what your cards are worth — whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious.
