What does TCGplayer Market Price mean?
Updated October 23, 2026 · By the PullMeter team
TCGplayer says its Market Price is based on actual recent sales on its platform, averaged across multiple recent transactions while ignoring outliers, rather than on what sellers are asking. It updates as transactions complete and reflects the selected printing and condition. It's the main price PullMeter shows, sourced through the Pokémon TCG API (prices as of Oct 15, 2026).
For low-volume cards, a handful of sales can move it a lot, so check recent sold listings too. Guide: how to read market prices.
