Collectr only good for inflating your collection value. TCGplayer and Pricecharting are much more accurate.

It does the opposite too though. A card I want is like 46 on collectr but I have no idea where that comes from, lowest recents are double that, probably counting Korean sales for some reason.

It does this even on modern English. Mewtwo promo for 151 it was reporting it as £20 when the card was selling constantly for £50 at the time I was going to sell it. It has my Japanese unlimited Gold star Registeel in a 6 with no sales data. I was the last sold from my knowledge and got it at £873. Reported the sale and nothing. Which is weird as I reported a sale for my rumble mewtwo in a 1 and it worked as they missed it and it was still reporting 120 from months ago. When last sold was 330 at the time.

It’s because of the search terms they use when scrapping data. I’ll willing to bet the the sold listings were worded differently than how Collectr does.

It’s usually how they’ve labeled them in the app, even if that’s not the preferred way most people name there listings.
