MAGIC CARD VALUE LOOKUP

“What is my card worth?” has more than one answer. Here is what each number means and which one to trust.

Market price vs lowest listing

The lowest listing is the cheapest copy someone is asking for right now - often damaged, non-English or shipped from far away. The market price is the average of recent completed sales for near-mint English copies, and it is the figure Magic Mark shows by default.

The printing matters more than the card

Every set, showcase frame, borderless art, extended art and serialized run has its own price. A card can be worth two euro in one set and several hundred in another, so always confirm the set code and collector number in the bottom-left corner.

Foil premiums

Foils are priced separately, and special treatments like surge, galaxy or serialized foils carry their own market. Reading the wrong finish is the single most common valuation mistake.

Reading the 30-day trend

Every card page shows a 30-day chart plus 1-day, 7-day and 30-day averages. A price spiking above its 30-day average usually means a tournament result or a reprint rumour - a good moment to sell, a poor moment to buy.

Condition

Quoted prices assume near mint. Lightly played copies typically fetch 10–20% less, moderately played 25–40% less, and heavily played half or under.
