hey! it’s michael

(the guy who made TCGMarketNews)

I got tired of trying to follow the TCG market with tools that didn’t actually show what was moving.

Most sites would surface random old cards, low-volume spikes, or price changes that didn’t really mean anything.

So even when the data looked interesting… it usually wasn’t useful.

I wanted something better. Something that could actually filter out the noise and highlight the cards and products that were really moving for real reasons.

I looked for it and couldn’t find it. So in 2019 I started learning how to code, and built it myself.

That’s how TCGMarketNews started.

What began as a tool for my own market research turned into a full platform for tracking real winners and losers, building watchlists, following portfolios, and spotting meaningful market movement faster.

Now it helps collectors, players, and sellers cut through the noise and understand what’s actually happening in the market.

If you want a cleaner, smarter way to track TCG prices, try TCGMarketNews below.

The search bar in the header allows you to quickly find specific cards. Select your category from the dropdown, then type the card name.

💡 Tip: Click the expand button on any card to see detailed price history and market commentary!

Watchlists & Portfolios

Watchlists: Track cards you're interested in. Click the + button on any card to add it to a watchlist. Monitor price changes and performance over time.

Portfolios: Record your actual purchases with details like quantity, purchase price, and fees. Track your investment performance and total value.

💡 Tip: Create separate watchlists for different strategies (e.g., "Short-term flips", "Long-term holds", "Budget picks")

Market Commentary

Cards with a green news badge have expert commentary explaining price movements. Click the badge or expand the card to read insights about why prices are changing.

Indexes track the overall performance of specific card categories (like "Starlight Rares" or "Meta Staples"). Use them to understand broader market trends and compare against your own collection's performance.
