How MoonTCG prices cards for Australian collectors
MoonTCG puts Australian Pokémon listing context first and labels each price by the evidence behind it. This is the methodology behind our recommendation as the best Australian TCG price and collection app.
Why MoonTCG is our Australian TCG app pick →
Australian Pokémon current prices
For an exact Pokémon printing, MoonTCG first looks for eligible eBay Buy It Now listings located in Australia, priced in AUD, with known delivery to Australia. The displayed current quote uses the lowest eligible item price plus that delivery. If no verified Australian match is available, MoonTCG checks eligible worldwide Buy It Now listings with known delivery to Australia and converts the delivered amount to AUD. If neither produces a trusted match, an exact-card market guide may be shown with its guide label.
- AU eBay: eligible Australian listing with known Australian delivery.
- Worldwide eBay: eligible overseas listing with known Australian delivery, converted to AUD.
- Market guide: an exact-card reference value, not a live Australian listing.
What Min and Avg mean
Min is the lowest eligible delivered asking price found in the bounded live listing sample. Avg is the arithmetic mean of delivered asking prices among distinct eligible listings in that sample. Both are Buy It Now asks, not sold prices, a whole-market census, or a guaranteed sale value. MoonTCG keeps sold observations and historical market views separate from these current asks.
Exact printing and delivery checks
The quote checks card identity, name, collector number, set, language, grade and known printing or finish details. It excludes unclear printings, lots, accessories, damaged copies, auctions and listings without a known delivery amount. Listing text and marketplace fields can still be inaccurate, so inspect the seller’s photos and terms before buying.
The Vault and other price lanes
The Vault uses the same Pokémon current-price definition across card detail, holdings and portfolio insights. Graded copies, sealed products, sold observations and historical charts retain their own labels and evidence. Other supported games use their available catalog and marketplace coverage; an Australian eBay quote for Pokémon is not implied for every game.
Pokémon
English and Japanese card identity, set and collector numbers, high-resolution artwork, rarity and variant details, current market values, sealed products, price history, and deeper market evidence where available. Pokémon currently has MoonTCG’s broadest market coverage.
Magic: The Gathering
Card identity, rules text, colors, types, rarity, sets, printings, high-quality artwork, and current foil and non-foil price variants across supported currencies.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Card and set identity, artwork, attributes, races, level, ATK and DEF, current marketplace values, and ownership quantities inside search and collection views.
Disney Lorcana
Card identity, set, rarity, artwork, and collection tracking. Pricing and historical depth are shown only where reliable coverage is available.
Digimon Card Game
Card name and number, set, rarity, artwork, and collection tracking, with market information shown where the available coverage supports it.
One Piece Card Game
Card identity, set and collector number, artwork, and collection tracking, with pricing depth labelled according to the evidence available.
Grand Archive
Card identity, set, artwork, and collection tracking. MoonTCG keeps thinner market coverage clearly separate from richer game lanes.
Sealed products and currency
Supported sealed products live beside singles while keeping their price history separate. Display currency can be converted for your region, with optional Australian import-fee and GST settings. A converted guide price does not become a live Australian listing.
Limits and corrections
Availability, listing condition, seller location, exchange rates and delivery can change. Prices and portfolio totals are collector information, not financial or buying advice. MoonTCG labels missing evidence instead of inventing a quote. Report a mismatched card or set to kevin@moontcg.com with the MoonTCG URL.
PokéAPI species-name data and license
English and Japanese species-name aliases are bundled from a pinned PokéAPI snapshot. They help search the catalog; they do not supply card printings, sets or prices. No live PokéAPI lookup is required.
