Most card pricing apps ask you to trust a number. ValuDex shows you the actual sold listings behind it. We replace the hassle of trailing through the Sold Listings section. Built specifically for UK collectors, ValuDex uses real UK market data, not US prices converted, not estimates, so you always know what your cards are actually worth in the UK market today. WHAT MAKES VALUDEX DIFFERENT - Real UK sold prices β€” every price is backed by real UK market transactions - See the listings, don't trust the valuation? Every sale behind the price is right there. Filter however you want across multiple sale counts and time frames, giving you full transparency and control over your price averages - Variant-level accuracy β€” reverse holos, first editions, graded and ungraded tracked separately - See both sold and active listings side by side, including true Best Offer accepted prices that other tools never show you. When a Best Offer is accepted on a marketplace, the actual sale price is hidden. ValuDex reveals it, so you always know what cards truly sold for, not just what they were listed at - Condition-precise pricing β€” prices broken down by card condition and shown separately: Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played and Heavily Played. Graded cards also shown separately by grading company including PSA, BGS, CGC, ACE and more - Search and collect by PokΓ©mon or artist β€” find every card featuring your favourite PokΓ©mon or illustrator across all sets - We do the hard work for you β€” no more trawling through sold marketplace listings yourself. Our 8-stage filtering system pre-removes fakes, incorrectly listed cards and noise so every price you see is clean and accurate - Portfolio tracking β€” add your cards and watch your collection's value over time. - Market insights β€” Fear & Greed index, market indices and weekly top movers - Millions of listings for 35,000+ card variants across 150+ sets No currency conversions. No guesswork. Just real, transparent UK market data. Terms of Use: https://valudex.co.uk/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://valudex.co.uk/privacy.html
