Honest limits
What a market price is not
Scadex is more useful when it is clear about the edges of what it knows, so these are worth reading before you lean on a number.
It is not an appraisal of your card
A market price reflects what comparable copies are listed and sold for. Your specific copy has its own condition, centring and print run, and none of that is visible to a scanner. Treat the figure as the market's opinion of the card, not a valuation of the object in your hand.
It is not investment advice
Prices move, sometimes sharply, and past movement does not tell you where a card goes next. Scadex shows sale frequency and history precisely so that a single number never has to carry all the weight of a decision.
Thin markets say so
When there is not enough activity behind a card to price it confidently, Scadex says the market data is limited rather than inventing precision. A price on a card that sells twice a year deserves far less confidence than one that sells daily.
Some printings have no European price
Cardmarket is a European marketplace, so Japanese, Korean and Chinese printings are not priced in euros there. Rather than converting a figure from another market and presenting it as European, Scadex tells you it has no reliable price for that printing.
Currency conversion is display only
You can view your collection in pounds, zloty, krona, francs, yen and others. Those are converted daily from the underlying euro and dollar market prices — the pricing itself does not change, only how it is shown.
