- Trading-card collectors bidding in live auctions
- Worth noticing
- The page says raw prices use TCGplayer market data and graded prices use completed eBay sales for the specific grade.
Field notes
The described identification process uses the card’s name, number, attack text, stamps, and codes rather than relying on the number alone. For grading estimates, the page says it checks centering, edge and corner wear, then weighs grade chances against graded sale prices and the grading fee. The page also says users can correct a price and have CardHawk use their figure going forward.
