ShopCardHub isn't a faceless content farm. It's a one-person operation run by an active collector and seller who moves real cards through a real COMC storefront. Every ROI breakdown, prospect ranking, and set guide on this site comes from someone with skin in the game.
ShopCardHub publishes price guides, prospect rankings, and hobby-box ROI breakdowns for sports cards and Pokémon TCG. The goal is simple: help collectors and flippers make smarter buys using real market data instead of hype. If a box is a bad value, we say so. If a prospect is overpriced, the math shows it.
The site is supported by affiliate partnerships — when you buy through our eBay, Fanatics, or COMC links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That funding keeps the guides free and updated. It does not change the rankings. A card's verdict is driven by sold comps, not by what pays the most. See our full affiliate disclosure.
Every price on this site is grounded in the same source of truth: recent eBay sold and completed listings. Not asking prices, not what someone hopes a card is worth — what it actually changed hands for. Here's the process behind every number.
| Step | What We Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Pull Comps | Filter eBay to sold + completed listings for the exact card, parallel, and grade | Asking prices lie; sold prices don't |
| 2 · Strip Outliers | Drop obvious mispriced sales, lots, and miscategorized listings | One $0.99 fluke shouldn't set the market |
| 3 · Weight Recency | Prioritize the last 30–90 days over stale sales | The hobby moves fast; old comps mislead |
| 4 · Run EV Math | For boxes: hit odds × card value vs. all-in box cost | Expected value is the only honest box rating |
| 5 · Date It | Every guide is stamped with the month the prices were pulled | A price with no date is worthless |
Prices are estimates and the market moves daily — that's the nature of the hobby. The only absolute truth in any market is what the last sale actually printed, and that's exactly what we anchor to.
