What is PokéPrice Tracker?
PokéPrice Tracker is a comprehensive platform for tracking Pokémon card prices, analyzing PSA grading potential, and accessing up-to-date market data to make informed collecting and trading decisions.

Pricing & Valuation
How do you determine card prices?
We aggregate sales data from multiple sources including eBay, TCGPlayer, and CardMarket. Our algorithm filters outliers and calculates reliable market prices based on actual sales, not just listings.
Why might your prices differ from other sites?
Our prices reflect verified sales data rather than listed prices. We also account for card condition and use proprietary algorithms to ensure accuracy even with limited sales data.
Can I see historical price trends?
Yes, we provide comprehensive price history charts for all cards, allowing you to track price movements over time (7 days, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and all-time).
Do you differentiate between card conditions?
Absolutely. Our platform tracks prices based on condition categories (Mint, Near Mint, Played, etc.) and graded vs. ungraded status, giving you accurate valuations.
PSA Grading Analysis
How accurate is your PSA grade prediction tool?
Our PSA grade prediction tool uses advanced image recognition and machine learning trained on thousands of previously graded cards. It achieves approximately 85-90% accuracy when predicting grades from high-quality images.
What factors does your PSA grading analyzer consider?
Our analyzer evaluates centering, corners, edges, surface quality, print quality, and other factors that PSA graders consider. It requires clear, high-resolution images from multiple angles for best results.
Does PSA officially endorse your grading predictions?
No, our tool is independent from PSA. While we strive for accuracy, our predictions are meant as guidance and cannot guarantee the actual grade a card will receive from PSA.
How can I improve my chances of getting an accurate prediction?
Upload high-resolution images in good lighting, provide multiple angles, and ensure the card is free from glare. Our system will guide you through capturing the best possible images for analysis.
API & Developers
What can I do with your API?
Our API provides programmatic access to our pricing database, allowing developers to integrate Pokémon card market data into their own applications, websites, or tools.
Are there rate limits for API usage?
Yes, API access is tiered based on your subscription level. Free accounts have 100 credits per day, API plan subscribers get 20,000 credits per day, and Business plan subscribers receive 200,000 credits per day. Both API and Business plans include full price history data.
Do you offer SDKs or client libraries?
Yes, we provide official SDK libraries for JavaScript, Python, and PHP. These make it easier to integrate with our API and include helpful utilities for common operations.
Where can I find API documentation?
Comprehensive API documentation is available at pokemonpricetracker.com/docs, including endpoint descriptions, request/response examples, and authentication guides.
Account & Billing
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your subscription anytime by going to Account Settings > Subscription and clicking 'Cancel Subscription'. Your premium access will continue until the end of your billing period.
Is there a refund policy?

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, you can change your plan at any time. When upgrading, you'll be charged the prorated difference. When downgrading, your new rate will apply at the next billing cycle.
How secure is my payment information?
We never store your credit card information directly. All payments are processed securely through Stripe, which maintains the highest level of PCI compliance.
