You don’t need to sign up for anything to check what a card is worth on Hoard. The market explorer and card pages are public.

​
Step 1: Go to the market explorer

Open tryhoard.com/market. This is a price index covering 25 games and the sets inside them, ranked by market value and charted over time. No account or inventory needed.

​
Step 2: Drill into a game, then a set

From the all-games view, pick a game — /market/pokemon, /market/magic, and so on — to see that game’s sets ranked by current market value with their recent movement. Open a set from there — /market/pokemon/surging-sparks, for example — to see that set’s price history and every card in it, ranked by price.

​
Step 3: Look up an individual card

Card pages are public too, no account needed to view a card’s current price and details.

​
Step 4: Compare sets if you’re deciding what to buy into

/market/compare charts multiple sets side by side without a fixed rail — search for any set by name or code and add up to eight. You can switch between All, Singles, and Sealed to see whether unopened product and singles are moving the same way.

​
What you get without an account, and what needs one

Everything above works without signing in. If you do sign in, the same set and card pages add your own position — how many copies you hold, across how many distinct cards, and their value at current market — plus a link into your dashboard for any card you own. That extra layer needs a free Hoard account; the underlying price data does not.

​
Where the prices come from

Market values come from the same TCGplayer catalog data Hoard’s own repricing engine uses, refreshed daily. They describe the market in general, not any one seller’s listings — a set’s market value is what its cards are worth broadly, not what a specific store has them priced at. Buy links on these public pages go to TCGplayer through Hoard’s affiliate program, so Hoard earns a small commission on a purchase at no extra cost to you.

​
When you’d want an account instead

The public pages are for quick lookups — checking one card, sizing up a set before you buy into it, or comparing a couple of sets against each other. If you’re pricing your own listings at scale, tracking your inventory’s value over time, or want cards to raise a flag the moment they move, that’s what a Hoard account and dashboard are for. Signing up is free, and reading your own data never requires a paid plan.
