Pricing
How Pricing Works
Understand your collection's estimated reference value, the prices behind it and what a change in value can mean.
Current method: exact Scryfall EUR reference prices, converted with dated ECB reference rates.
Scryfall reference prices
Playset uses Scryfall EUR reference prices for each exact printing and finish. Regular uses the EUR price, Foil uses the Foil EUR price, and Etched requires its own EUR price. Another printing, another finish or a USD price is never substituted.
Scryfall describes its EUR prices as Cardmarket-derived reference data. They are not verified sale prices or a guaranteed offer. Scryfall does not normally provide an Etched EUR price, so that reference value may be unavailable. Cardmarket Trend is displayed separately and never determines Collection Value.
Your display currency
Keep your preferred SEK, NOK, DKK, EUR or USD. EUR is the underlying reference; dated European Central Bank (ECB) rates convert it for display. Changing currency does not change market movement percentages or mover rankings.
The ECB usually publishes around 16:00 CET on working days, except TARGET closing days. Weekends and holidays use the latest available published rates. Playset reads stored rates, rather than contacting the ECB when you open a collection. If an update fails, the last valid dated rates remain available. If none are available, converted amounts are unavailable; native EUR values remain available.
Price and currency refreshes
The existing collection price refresh is scheduled once a day at 03:30 UTC. A scheduled attempt does not guarantee every card updates. Other catalogue prices may be older. European history records successful daily checkpoints; opening a card does not invent a new market observation.
Playset attempts one ECB refresh after its daily pricing pipeline finishes successfully. Currency conversion shows the stored rates' effective date, and older published rates are labelled. Interrupted jobs or feeds can leave older data; opening a collection is not a live market-price request.
Missing reference prices
A missing price does not mean a card is worthless. Unpriced copies are excluded from the estimate and the collection shows its priced coverage. A completely unpriced collection has no estimated value, rather than a value of zero.
Playset does not fill a missing EUR reference with an earlier blended value or a price saved with ownership. Regular, Foil and Etched stay distinct.
Estimated value versus selling price
Reference values help you follow a collection; they are not offers or verified sale prices. Condition, language, demand, availability, fees, shipping and selling cards together can all change what you receive.
Check current listings and completed sales for the exact version before buying, selling or trading.
Understanding changes in value
European history starts separately from earlier blended estimates. The change of method is never shown as a market gain or loss, and earlier recorded values are preserved.
Card-price movements are measured in native EUR. Where verified history permits, Playset separates currency effects from price effects. If holdings or priced coverage change, a reliable price-only portfolio comparison may be unavailable. An unavailable comparison is shown instead of a misleading percentage.
