US Apps, EU Reality
You open a popular TCG tracker and see a price – but it's a USD conversion that has nothing to do with what that card actually sells for on Cardmarket today. For European collectors, this mismatch is a daily frustration. LootLink is built for the EU market from the ground up.
Cardmarket Prices, Not USD Conversions
Reviews of popular TCG tracker apps reveal the same complaint again and again: "The prices are completely off from what I see on Cardmarket." The reason is structural – most apps are built around US data sources like TCGPlayer, then bolt on a currency conversion to produce an EUR figure. That's not the same as knowing what your card actually sells for in Europe today.
LootLink reads prices directly from Cardmarket – the platform where the majority of European Pokémon card trades happen. The trend and low prices you see are the numbers that matter when you decide whether to buy, sell, or hold.
Non-English Cards Are Not Second-Class Citizens
Many European collectors specifically seek German, French, or Italian prints – for nostalgia, for value, or because that's the language they grew up playing in. US-centric apps frequently lump these together with English versions or simply can't look them up at all.
LootLink tracks print language as a core detail of every card. A German Charizard is tracked and valued separately from the English one – because on Cardmarket, they sell at different prices.

Does LootLink just convert USD to EUR?
No. LootLink reads prices directly from Cardmarket – the trend and low prices you see reflect what cards actually sell for in Europe, not a converted US figure.
Does print language affect the price shown?
Yes. A German Charizard and an English Charizard are tracked separately with their own Cardmarket valuations – because they often trade at different prices.
