Photograph the front and back, and crop tightly so the name and set marks are readable. Confirm the set and subject before pricing.
How to photograph a trading card
Centering, corners, and surface wear matter. A graded card and a raw card are not the same listing set — say which you have on the confirm screen.
What you will see
After you confirm the identification, we show a listed-for range, a typical asking price, an estimated likely sale price (usually 10-30% below the typical listing), a confidence level, and comparable public listings when enough of them exist. If comps are thin, we say so instead of inventing a single number.
Values are estimates based on current public listings, not certified appraisals or sold prices. Listings often run about 10-30% above what an item actually sells for. For rare or high-value items, we recommend a professional appraisal.
