# TCG Price History Dataset

Daily trading card prices across **8 major trading card games**: Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, One Piece TCG, Star Wars: Unlimited, Flesh and Blood, and Pokémon Japan.

Sourced from the [**TCG Price Lookup API**](https://tcgpricelookup.com/tcg-api) — the only API that covers every major TCG with real pricing data from both TCGPlayer and eBay.

## What's in this dataset

- **Daily price snapshots** for cards across all 8 supported TCGs
- **TCGPlayer market prices** (market, low, mid, high) per condition tier
- **eBay sold-listing averages** (1-day, 7-day, 30-day rolling windows)
- **PSA / BGS / CGC graded card prices** for cards that have graded comps

## Data source

All data is collected via the [TCG Price Lookup API](https://tcgpricelookup.com/tcg-api), which aggregates prices from:

- **TCGPlayer** — the largest US marketplace for trading card singles
- **eBay** — actual completed sales (not listings), providing the real market-clearing price
- **PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, ACE, TAG** — graded card sales across every major grading service
