Quick Answer
The C3 Card Compare tool lets you search any card across the games we cover, view current market prices in AUD, and compare multiple cards side by side before you buy or sell. It is free to use and pulls live pricing data so you are not working from stale numbers. You can find it at /compare.
What the Card Compare Tool Does
Most TCG price research in Australia involves opening multiple tabs, converting USD prices from American sites, and hoping the data you are looking at is recent. The C3 Card Compare tool solves this for the games we cover by putting everything in one place with AUD pricing.
You can search for any card across MTG, Pokemon, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, Dragon Ball Super, Star Wars Unlimited, Riftbound, and the extended game catalogue. The tool pulls current market data and displays prices in Australian dollars so you are not doing mental currency conversion while trying to make a buying decision.
The side-by-side comparison function is the most useful feature for collectors building a wishlist or sellers checking what their cards are worth before listing. You can load up to four cards simultaneously and see their current market data together on one screen.
How to Use It
Go to /compare. Type the card name into the search field. Select the game if the card name appears in multiple games. The card's current pricing data loads, including market price, recent sales data where available, and condition breakdowns.
To compare multiple cards, search for your first card, then use the add button to search for additional cards without losing the first result. Each card loads into its own panel. You can swap cards in and out without restarting the search.
The AUD toggle converts USD-denominated data at the current exchange rate so you always see what a card is actually worth in Australian dollars, not what an American site thinks it is worth in a different currency.
Why AUD Pricing Matters for Australian Buyers
The majority of TCG price reference sites are American. They display prices in USD, use US market sales data, and do not account for the Australian import premium on cards that are harder to source locally. A card listed at USD$10 on an American site is not AU$10 in the Australian market. It is typically AU$16 to AU$22 once you factor in exchange rates, postage, and the local supply-demand balance.
The C3 Card Compare tool uses Australian market data where it exists and applies the current exchange rate where it does not, giving you a more accurate picture of what you should expect to pay or receive in the Australian market.
Using It to Buy Smart
Before buying any card above AU$10, checking the current market price takes about 30 seconds and regularly saves Australian TCG players money. Common scenarios where it helps:
Buying from a local store: Local card shop prices are sometimes significantly above market rate for specific cards. Checking before you buy tells you whether the price on the card shop's shelf is fair or whether buying from eBay AU is meaningfully cheaper.
Buying from eBay AU: Before committing to a Buy It Now price, checking completed sales data shows you whether the listing is priced at market or above it.
Selling your collection: Before listing, knowing current market prices means you do not undervalue cards that have appreciated or overprice cards that have declined.
Building a deck on a budget: Comparing the prices of multiple functionally similar cards helps you identify which card gives you the best performance-to-cost ratio for your build.
Using It to Sell Smart
The same data that helps you buy well helps you price your listings correctly. Cards priced significantly above market take longer to sell. Cards priced significantly below market sell immediately but leave money on the table. Current market data gives you the reference point to price accurately.
If you are selling a collection rather than individual cards, the compare tool helps you quickly identify which cards in your collection are worth listing individually versus which are better sold as a bulk lot.
The C3 Take
Price transparency is one of the most undervalued tools in the TCG hobby. The gap between what sellers ask and what cards actually trade at is often significant, and Australian buyers pay the price of that information gap more than most because the reference data for our market is harder to find than in the US or Japan.
The Card Compare tool exists to close that gap for Australian players. Use it before every significant purchase. It takes less time than the transaction itself and pays for itself immediately.
