# The Lab TCG > Daily Pokémon card market data: TCGplayer market prices for about 46,000 English and 25,000 Japanese cards captured nightly since 2024, eBay graded comps (PSA, CGC, BGS) from our own listing scans, TCGplayer sales volume, a nightly set index, a booster box index and weekly market reports. Written and run by Will Jenkins, a former full-time Pokémon card seller. Prices are TCGplayer market prices in US dollars, captured once per night; "as of" dates are shown on every page. Graded values are medians of inferred eBay sales for that exact card and grade, published only when at least three consistent comps exist. Nothing here is financial advice.
