One of the main things we hear from customers is that "you aren't tracking the cards I care about so this won't work for me". At Card Ladder we are very intentional about the cards we verify and track daily. We can't track every card and because of that many customers feel left out.
This is why we created Sales History. You can find the value for millions of cards, you're not limited to cards verified by our team. Our Sales History database has over 80 million sales at the time of writing this and is growing rapidly daily. Each card is indexed by our search algorithm and can be found by searching the description of the card, using your camera, or finding matches of the exact card using the cert of a graded card.
In this guide we want to help you search for the card you're looking for and find the value using the text based search on Sales History from either the website or either of the iOS or Android apps. Go to the Sales History page and get ready to start typing.
Follow this extensive guide on how to write search queries using our Boolean Search technology.
