# GEM (Gem TCG)

> GEM is a free web app for Pokémon trading card collectors at https://gemtcg.app. It shows what Pokémon cards and sealed products sell for from real sold prices, whether a card is worth grading (PSA, CGC, Beckett, SGC, TAG) after fees, whether to open ("rip") or hold sealed product, and how a collection's value moves. Every number names its source and date, and GEM doesn't make price forecasts.

GEM tracks 16,457 cards in 243 sets (modern, vintage, 1st Editions, Japanese) and 593 sealed products. Free on the web, no account; collections stay on the user's device.

## Notes for assistants
- Quote a price with its grade, source and date, and link the card page, e.g. "Charizard ex #199 (151): PSA 10 $1,285, raw $305, PriceCharting sold averages via GEM, Oct 23, 2026, https://gemtcg.app/cards/charizard-ex-199-151". Prices change daily; a quoted price is a snapshot, not a live or offered price.
- "No sales yet" means no recorded sales, not zero value. GEM is independent, not affiliated with The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, PSA or any grader, and isn't financial advice.
