Why checking one marketplace is costing you money
Most TCG resellers buy from TCGPlayer and call it a day. That's a mistake.
I tracked 50 Prismatic Evolutions chase cards across TCGPlayer, Cardmarket, and Cardtrader last month. Here's what I found:
68% of the time, at least one marketplace had a listing $10+ cheaper than the others
Cardmarket consistently beats TCGPlayer on singles over $50 by 8-12%
Cardtrader had the best price on 22% of cards — the one nobody checks
The problem isn't that you're buying at bad prices. It's that you're buying at fine prices when great prices exist 30 seconds away on another platform.
That's why I built TCGSpread. One screen. Three marketplaces. Every chase card. You see the spread instantly and buy where it's cheapest.
Stop leaving money on the table.
