About CardIntel

CardIntel is an independent price-tracking platform for Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards. We turn daily market data into clear, source-labeled prices and free tools that help collectors decide what to buy, sell, grade, or hold — without the guesswork.

Why we built it

Card prices live in a dozen places — marketplace listings, completed sales, grading premiums, set-by-set context — and almost none of it is presented in a way you can actually trust or trace. Marketplaces show you the price that helps them sell. Aggregators bury the source. Collectors are left guessing whether a number is real.

CardIntel exists to fix that. We collect pricing on a daily schedule, label every figure with where it came from and how confident we are, and wrap it in tools that answer real decisions: is this card a deal? is it worth grading? what would I net after fees?We're built by collectors who wanted an honest dashboard, not another store.

What we stand for

Traceable

Every number links to a source

We label where each price comes from — a reference snapshot, a historical layer, or reviewed market evidence — and stamp it with an as-of date. No black-box "estimates" you can't check.

Independent

We don't sell cards

CardIntel is not a marketplace. We have no inventory to move and no incentive to inflate a number to close a sale, so our job is simply to report what the data says — including when confidence is low.

Fresh

Updated every day

Prices, market movers, and indexes refresh on a daily sync across 100,000+ Pokémon and Magic cards, so the numbers you read reflect recent activity rather than a stale one-time scrape.

Honest

We show our work

Our Methodology page documents exactly how prices are collected, layered, and displayed — including the current limitations. We'd rather tell you what a number is worth than pretend it's perfect.
