A beautiful portfolio, built on someone else's number.
Collectr is polished, popular and covers a lot of games. Its prices, though, come from marketplace listings and averages it doesn't make — and below Near Mint, every card gets the same flat discount whatever its copies really sell for.
Where Collectr's number comes from
“Card values come from integrated affiliate listings on eBay and TCGplayer.”
