Price guide standards
Pricing Methodology
KpopPhotocard.com price ranges are collector estimates based on reviewed market evidence. They are not guarantees, appraisals, or promises that a card will sell for a specific amount.
Low price
A lower supported market point, usually reflecting cheaper accepted sales or weaker recent buyer demand.
Mid price
Our central estimate for a typical sale when the evidence is reasonably clean.
High price
A higher supported market point, often tied to stronger demand, condition, scarcity, or premium sales.
Sold listings come first
We prioritize completed sales over active asking prices. A listed price shows what someone wants; a sold listing is stronger evidence of what a buyer actually paid.
Humans review the evidence
Listings are reviewed before they are accepted into a card's evidence set. We look for relevant titles, matching card details, realistic pricing, and obvious outliers.
Confidence reflects support
Confidence is higher when a card has cleaner evidence, repeated sales, better source quality, and less disagreement between the low and high end of the range.
Liquidity matters
A card can have a high estimated value and still be slow to sell. Liquidity notes help show whether there is active market demand or a thinner collector market.
Estimates, not guarantees
Photocard markets move quickly. Member demand, platform fees, shipping, card condition, regional availability, and timing can all change the final sale price. Use our ranges as a starting point, then check the card's accepted evidence and current market activity before making a buying or selling decision.
