What PokeTracker Is
PokeTracker is an independent Pokemon card price tracking and analysis platform. We aggregate real-time pricing data from major marketplaces including eBay, TCGPlayer, and CardMarket to help collectors and investors make informed decisions about Pokemon cards as both a hobby and a long-term store of value.
The platform tracks over 16,000 individual Pokemon cards across 115 sets, from the original 1999 Base Set through the latest Scarlet and Violet releases. Every card page includes live pricing, recent sold listings, grading guidance, and links to verified marketplaces.
What PokeTracker Is Not
PokeTracker is not a marketplace. We do not sell cards directly. We do not hold inventory. We do not have a stake in any specific card's price going up or down.
PokeTracker is also not a financial advisor. The investment analysis we publish on the blog reflects independent collector research, not professional financial guidance. Pokemon cards are an alternative collectible asset class with significant volatility, illiquidity, and condition risk. Anyone buying cards as an investment should do their own research and understand they may lose money.
Who Runs It
PokeTracker is built and maintained by an independent Pokemon collector and developer based in Belgium. The site began as a personal project to solve a real problem: existing card pricing tools were either expensive, inaccurate, or limited to a single marketplace. The goal was to build something better, free, and genuinely useful to the broader Pokemon collecting community.
The operator has been collecting Pokemon cards for over a decade and tracking the secondary market closely since the 2020 collector boom. The blog content reflects this firsthand market experience rather than scraped content or AI-generated filler.
How We Make Money
PokeTracker is funded entirely through affiliate commissions. When users click through to eBay or TCGPlayer from our card pages or blog posts and make a purchase, we earn a small commission at no additional cost to the buyer. This is the same revenue model used by most card price tracking sites.
We do not accept paid placements, sponsored content, or "featured card" payments. Every card recommendation on the blog reflects honest analysis. If we recommend a card, it is because we genuinely believe in the thesis, not because someone paid us to promote it. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
Our Data Sources
PokeTracker aggregates pricing data from several sources to give users the most complete market picture available:
- TCGPlayer market prices: North American market reference pricing
- CardMarket averages: European market data including 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day average prices
- eBay live listings: current asking prices from active marketplace listings
- PokeTracker internal database: 16,000+ card records with set information, rarity, artist, and metadata
Card images and base metadata are sourced from publicly available APIs and are owned by their respective rights holders, including The Pokemon Company International.
Editorial Independence
The blog content published on PokeTracker reflects independent research and personal collecting experience. Pricing analysis is based on verified eBay sold listings within the past 60 days. We do not republish PR releases, paid promotions, or AI-generated text. Every post is written and reviewed by a human.
When market conditions change, we update existing blog posts with revised pricing data and bump the "last updated" date so readers know what they are getting. We would rather acknowledge that the market moved than leave stale numbers in place.
