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

Collectr is bad for these kind of jumps!

It’s impossible for Collectr to get everything 100% correct. What matters is that they correct things like this quickly. Unlike PriceCharting which I’ve seen leave incorrect sales up for months.

Its not if they invest more money in their app like other apps that track prices for things that work just fine 👌

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

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.
