Condition changes the decision
The official store states that cards can be crumpled, damaged, or torn, and that cards in better condition cost more. That makes condition a property of the copy in front of you—not a permanent property of the card name.
Official trailer footage also presents a quality display in the selling interface. The footage is enough to establish that copies vary, but not enough to publish a universal conversion formula.
Keep, mend, swap, or sell
- Keep a copy when it fills a missing binder entry or preserves a better example.
- Consider mending when improving the collection matters more than immediate cash.
- Compare a swap against the exact copy already held, not just the rarity label.
- Sell only after checking whether the copy advances a set, foil goal, or achievement.
Build a comparable note
For useful value observations, record the name, set, rarity, displayed quality, foil status, displayed price, and game version/date together. Comparisons missing one of those fields can imply a rule that the game does not actually use.
Keep in mindThis guide intentionally avoids a fixed value chart until an official formula or a reproducible current-build dataset exists.
