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

Singapore Price Benchmarks
Use these volume-weighted averages as a sanity check when browsing Carousell, Telegram groups, or local TCG shops. 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.
Why do One Piece graded prices keep falling while raw prices rise?
This divergence typically signals profit-taking on slabs — collectors who graded cards during a run-up and are now selling graded copies into the market, softening slab prices while raw demand stays healthy.
What do these numbers mean for Singapore collectors?
The SGD benchmark table gives you a real-market anchor. If you see a raw Pokemon card listed on Carousell for well under S$63 and it's a standard single, that may be underpriced. Conversely, paying S$300+ per One Piece PSA 10 is above the market-weighted mean.
