At Curiosity, our mission has always been to keep things as transparent as possible—and that continues with the launch of our Magic: The Gathering Trade Estimator. No guessing games. No random numbers pulled from thin air. Just hard data—just like we’ve always done with video game trade-ins.
We’ve also rolled out a trade estimator for One Piece, with tools for Pokémon, Disney Lorcana, and Union Arena coming soon!
How to Use the Estimator
You can search for cards by name, but for the most accurate results, we recommend using as much identifying info as possible:
Card Name
Collector Number
Set
Special Traits (e.g., Borderless, First-Place Foil, etc.)
Example (Detailed Search): Draconautics Engineer Borderless First-Place Foil 540 Aetherdrift
Example (General Search):
Just typing Draconautics Engineer will show all matching results—you can then click the version that matches your card.
What the Estimator Shows
You’ll see:
Base Trade-In Value (store credit for non-members)
Member Trade-In Value
Cash Value
W/Boost (what members can expect when using their Monthly Trade Boost)
These values are updated daily and are typically accurate unless a data error occurs or there's sudden market movement.
A Few Important Notes
These are estimates—final trade value is determined after visual inspection.
Cards must be in appropriate condition. Even freshly pulled cards aren’t always Near Mint due to print quality from Wizards.
Not all cards are accepted. If a card doesn’t appear in the tool, we likely don’t take it.
Serialized and stamped promo cards (e.g., Prerelease or Promo Pack versions) are generally not accepted, even if they appear in the tool. We occasionally make exceptions for regulars, but it's not guaranteed.
All trade values follow our existing card acceptance policies and are subject to change, especially for volatile cards.
Why We Built This
We believe in equipping our community with clear, honest information. Our trade estimator is designed to help you make informed choices and know what to expect before you even step into the store.
More tools are coming soon—because at Curiosity, we don’t just want your trades…We want your trust.
