How We Measure the Market
Raw price lists are noisy. A $500 card with 2 transactions a month shouldn't move the needle the same way a $10 card with 500 transactions does. To cut through that noise, every average in this guide is weighted by sales volume — the number of recent transactions PriceCharting records for each card.
The process, run each Monday:
- Load today's PriceCharting CSV and the file from 7 days prior
- Merge on card ID — only cards present on both dates are included
- For each condition, compute
Σ(price × volume) / Σ(volume) - Compare today vs baseline, flag the direction and magnitude

Philippines Price Benchmarks (PHP)
Use these volume-weighted averages as a sanity check when browsing Shopee PH, Lazada, Carousell PH, or local Facebook TCG groups. Listings significantly below the benchmark are worth a closer look; listings significantly above may be priced on hype rather than market data.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the weighted average price calculated?
Each card's price is weighted by its sales-volume (transaction count from PriceCharting). A card with 500 transactions influences the average 50× more than one with 10 transactions. Cards with zero volume are excluded entirely.
How often is this guide updated?
Every Monday, comparing the latest available snapshot to the file from 7 days prior.
Why is One Piece's average raw price so much higher?
One Piece has a smaller card pool (~11K cards) concentrated around recent, high-value sets. The most-traded cards are chase rares from OP07–OP15, which pulls the volume-weighted average well above Pokemon or Magic.
How do PHP prices here compare to local shop prices?
These are global volume-weighted averages converted to PHP — they reflect the international market, not local retail markups. Philippine LGS prices and Shopee listings often carry a premium for import costs and convenience. Use these figures as a floor reference, not a ceiling.
