About the data on this page

All prices are reference values from our own daily survey of the Japanese market — "market" is what shops in Japan sell the card for, and "buylist" is what they pay when buying it from you. Actual conditions, stock, and grading standards vary by shop. Pull rates are community estimates, as official rates are unpublished. A card number like "113/076" means card 113 in a set whose listed size is 76 — numbers beyond the set size are secret rares not shown on the package.
