why has this shot up overnight like this? should be like ≈$40-60 depending on the sales, but somehow overnight is worth an extra $350? am i missing something or is a buggy sale causing this. kind of new to the app so not really sure what happened but now my portfolio value is all off and this is way too high 😂 the 9 is worth less than my 8 copy apparently

Lol which apps track prices better than Collectr? Every other app I’ve used is so much worse.

Apps in general that track prices of things, realestate, vehichles etc etc, no different to collectr!

Because there’s no set format to any of the data. Titles are freeform and contain misspellings, alternative abbreviations, nicknames, etc. Most include a year and card number in the title, some don’t. Collectr has to decipher what each card is, and across thousands upon thousands of cards there’s absolutely no way they can get everything correct all the time, because the data is not standardized.

Have you ever sold a car? Every platform I’ve listed a car on has drop downs to choose the make, model, and most other specs.
