Frequently Asked Questions
How does the MTG trade evaluator decide if a trade is fair?
SpellBook Finance totals each side of the trade with the selected price source, then shows the dollar delta. The tool does not decide what you should accept, but it makes the market value gap clear before cards change hands.
Which MTG price sources can I compare?
The trade evaluator is built around common in-person trade references like TCGPlayer market, TCGPlayer low, and Card Kingdom pricing. Switching sources helps both players agree on the valuation standard before negotiating.
Can I share an MTG trade evaluation?
Yes. Once both sides have cards, the share action creates a reproducible link for the trade. Use it to review a proposed swap later or send the same value breakdown to the other player.
