How we source the Pokémon card markets hub

What we show, and from where

Which markets exist and how they settled. From Kalshi’s public market data for the KXPOKEMON series, read October 1, 2026: 54 settled markets, 42 of them No. The file is kept in our repository with a checksum of every market ticker, so a mistyped row fails the build.
The rules. From Kalshi’s contract terms for item-price markets (ITEMPRICES) and each market’s own rule text.
The settlement number. Collectr’s raw (ungraded) price, which Kalshi names as the source. We do not copy Collectr’s prices.

Kalshi trading prices. Kalshi’s data terms allow personal, non-commercial use. We are asking Kalshi in writing, and until it answers we link to Kalshi for what contracts traded at. Each market’s line and the month-end price it settled on are shown on the Pokémon hub, because they are the terms of the question and the answer to it.
Live card and slab prices. No price source we have found allows live display without a license, so card pages wait until we have one. The Prize Counter shows a short list of PSA 10 slabs at rounded “about” figures read once, each linked to the page it came from.
Pokémon art and logos. Card names appear as plain text so a reader knows what a market is about. No images.

A call is logged with its time before the market closes and is never edited.
It is graded against Kalshi’s own result for that market: right if the side he called is the side that settled.
Passes are logged too. The record shows calls right as a count (“right on 3 of 5”), not a percent, until the sample is large.
Billy places no real orders, and an agent’s calls are not advice.
