The catalogue, figure by figure.

Every number on this site comes from a query against the database, on a date written beside it. A number without its date reads as today's number — that is the rule CardoMint applies to its prices, and it holds for its own page.

CardoMint's catalogue: a grid of Pokémon cards with their artwork, their printed number, their rarity symbol, the day's price and the printings owned. — Twelve cards from « Black Bolt », which holds 120 — out of the 67,432 in the catalogue. Each carries its printed number, its rarity symbol, the day's price and the printings already owned.

Three markets, three catalogues

These are not three translations of one game: they are other extensions, with other cards.

Market	Cards	Sets	Share
International	25,738	340	38 %
Japanese	27,080	462	40 %
Chinese	14,614	212	22 %

The proof that these are three catalogues: of the 177 sets the source announces in Japanese, 173 identifiers exist only there — and the 4 shared ones designate different cards. A language filter would have mixed them; one zone per market keeps them apart.

How those declarations were built

Three sources, never one

A retailer's product sheets, the community encyclopedia — and the back of the box itself, read by text recognition when the first two contradict each other.

The sum is the check

Thirty-eight pages announce a total their own list does not add up to. None was copied across: an incomplete list and a doubled list look alike, and only the sum tells them apart.

What stays silent, stays silent

Twenty-seven totals contradict each other between sources and are not arbitrated. Settling between two diverging sources takes a third — without it, nothing is decided.

The scope, and what will widen it

A gap that is named is a scope; a gap kept quiet reads as a defect.

55,792 cards without a price

Cardmarket does not publish one for all of them — 11,640 carry one. The others show nothing rather than a zero that would read as a value of nothing.

90 cards without a photo

The Trick or Trade cards carry a pumpkin stamp that no published scan shows. Lending them the original printing's image would show a different card.

Card scanning

The place is reserved at the centre of the bottom bar, and the button announces « Coming » in a visible message — not in a tooltip, which never shows on touch.

Cardmarket listings

Filtering by language, condition or seller country is marked unavailable rather than « coming »: the source publishes an average price per card and never the listings. It is not a queue, it is an impossibility.

Alerts, today

An alert is seen by opening the page. Email exists for password resets, not yet for warning that a threshold has been crossed.

The rest of the catalogue

The census still counts 1,154 products present at a retailer and absent from here, section by section, with the reason for each.

Where the data comes from

The card catalogue

An open MIT-licensed database supplies names, numbers, rarities, illustrators, photos and prices. The photos are linked, not copied: their CDN is built for it.

The missing scans

40,916 images are hosted by CardoMint where the source has no French scan — fetched one by one, and verified.

The prices

One Cardmarket reading a day, dated by the source and not by our clock: two openings two hours apart do not invent two points.

What the boxes contain

Harvested from public product sheets, with a sum check at write time — and a refusal to write the moment a line raises a question.

No source is circumvented: a site that answers 403 to an automated client, or forbids it in its robots.txt, is not read. Watermarked images are declined. These are answers, not obstacles.
