Neat charts, what site/app is that from?

Based on what?

As some have already stated, these are some of the most difficult set cards to grade, and you just named a ton of popular Pokemon in there (aside from Kangaskhan which is only expensive because of its difficulty to grade), so it’s no surprise that they are so pricy.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Tried it. Not accurate. Some sales in FB IG, were not taken into account.

And how would they do that? Facebook and IG deals are closer to private deals if we are being honest. It’s not like they can source data from private dms.

Many fake deals on Ebait too. So tcgfish is not really accurate.

Fake deal = Not listing selling fake item. But listing itself is fake; seller has no item to sell, he listed to manipulate the market. When buyer bought/bidded, the seller then cancelled transaction in system citing fake reason. However transaction is recorded as “sold” and gullible people thought that was really sold!

i think there are places like 130point that can show u whether a listing was actually sold or cancelled/ accepted offers, etc.

i think tcgfish accounts for that and doesnt just scoop ebay solds

Post a link to a more accurate price aggregator. If you can’t do that, I’m not sure what the point of this criticism is.

I’ve spoken with @TCGFish many times about the website and the data integrity. It’s as good as it gets in the Pokemon space.

And that’s coming from a nerd who posts actual data analyses on here where I painstakingly collate and cross-check data by hand.

Thanks for the feedback, but it would be very hard or nearly impossible to gather FB sales, unless its manually entering sales history 1 by 1, and private deals tends to be off to actual market values, most of the time, trade value is higher, actual purchase value is lower, sometimes people only offer 85% of ebay value (this is what seller usually net after fees.), in this case would be different than actual sales value on the open market.

But if its some rare cards, that would be good to add them, even if its from FB marketplace. a data is better than no data at all.

Do your own homework/research. Thats the point. Don’t be lazy or reliant on some webbie. Go out, talk to real humans (sellers, buyers, collectors). Don’t sit in front of computer monitor and expect it to be 100% accurate.

Wow! Is this coincident? That’s my sentiment for another topic - fan-researched pull rates. :open_mouth:

Nobody expects it to be 100% accurate.
We all know cards are not priced like stocks.
We all know nobody has the time to document every single private sale to the database.

Thats why you have an average of last solds listed on the site which is pretty accurate.

I don’t know where you got the assumption that people treat TCGFish as 100% accurate. I feel that the people that are more knowledgeable use the site as a price guide that can get you a general sense as a card’s current value and the trend of a card. You may feel that firsthand experiences matter more, but you have to be aware that your views and opinions in Pokemon may be skewed based on who you interact with frequently.

Just ignore them.

I already do and everytime I peek at an ignored post, I ask myself why I bothered.

The criticism comes across as “curious, you live in society” nonsense.
