Trades

See who the trade favors before you shake on it.

Stack what you give against what you get. TCGPal prices each line from the same live comps as your collection — condition, variant, and grade included — then totals both sides and shows who is up. Singles, slabs, sealed, and cash. Free to use.

01

Add both sides

Pull cards from your collection or search the catalog. Set condition, variant, and grade on every line.

02

Watch the meter

Totals update live. Add cash to either side if you need to even it out, or override a comp you disagree with.

03

Share the verdict

A clean summary lists every item and who is up. Use it at a table, in a DM, or to talk yourself out of a bad deal.

Priced the way collectors actually trade

Deals mix singles, slabs, and cash. The analyzer values each side the same way your portfolio is valued, so the fairness meter is not a different number from the one you already trust.

Example trade

You give

$412

3 singles · NM

You get

$387

1 slab · + $40 cash

Slightly unfavorably — $25

Live comps on both sides. Override any line if you disagree.

From binder to handshake

Scan the cards in front of you, drop them on a side, and read the gap. If the meter says you are down $80, you can still take the trade — you just will not do it by accident.

FAQ

Questions about this

How does the trade analyzer price each side?

Each line uses the same live market values as your collection — condition, variant, and grade included. Totals update as you add cards or cash.

Can I mix singles and sealed?

Yes. Build both sides with whatever is actually in the deal, then read the verdict before you tap accept.

What if I disagree with a comp?

Override any line with a manual price. The meter recalculates immediately so you can negotiate from your number, not only ours.

Is the analyzer free?

Yes. Trades are part of the free plan, along with your collection and live prices.
