  How we count it

  Every day, we look at which copies leave the listings. A copy that’s gone may have sold, or its seller may have taken it down: we only count those that do not reappear in subsequent observations.

  The pokoSCORE rates each card from 1 to 99 by how fast its copies leave. This bar compares standard Near Mint cards in the same language and seller area.

• Volatility

  5%

  Volatility tells you how much prices move around. Over the last month, on an ordinary day, the price of one of these cards sat about 5% away from its average. For a €100 card, that’s roughly €5 either way.
