Descriptive market data, not investment advice. The Hoshino Score measures how deep, liquid, widely-traded, dear and scarce this card’s market is from sales and population records we hold. It is not a forecast, not a recommendation, and not a rating of this card as an investment.
Price by grade
What each grade’s real sales say — median of what actually sold.
Each grade is priced on the median of its own real sales — never averaged across grades, and never across printings. A 1st Edition, Shadowless or No Rarity copy is a different market from the ordinary print, so it gets its own row; where a grade holds sales of more than one printing and we cannot tell which copy sold, it is shown without a price — we abstain rather than publish the blend.

How confident are we in each of these prices?
A price is trustworthy when two separate things are true, and it is never more trustworthy than the weaker of them. Do the sales agree? — how tightly this grade’s own sales cluster, which is not the same question as how many there are: three sales within half a percent of each other pin a price down better than thirty-five scattered across a multiple. Is the price still current? — measured against how often this grade actually trades, not against the calendar, because five months is stale on a rung that sells weekly and current on a grail that sells twice a year. We take the weaker of the two, so a stale price and a scattered one can never read as confident however deep the sample. A grade we publish no price for gets no rating: there would be nothing to rate.
Two things hold throughout. Older sales count for less in every figure below, exactly as they count for less toward the price itself — an effective sale count is how many full-weight sales the sample adds up to once that is applied. And how often a grade trades is not a score in its own right: it is what sets how quickly that grade’s price goes stale.
Low — 4 sales, sold today, wide spread
- ×Do the sales agree? — The full range of them spans 98% of the price, across an effective 4 full-weight sales
- ✓Is the price still current? — The most recent is from today, and this grade trades about every 5.2 days
- ✓How often does this grade trade? — 4 venue-dated sales in the last year — trades a few times a year
Cross-market comparisons and arbitrage routes are computed within one grade — PSA 10 against PSA 10, raw against raw. A route is never built from two different grades.
Price trend
Median market price over time, plus the sale-by-sale receipts.
Each point is a real recorded sale at that grade, over the full time we hold. Grades trade at very different prices, so the trend is per grade — pick a grade above.

The 4 most recent — confirmed sales first, then estimates; distinct price points, identical re-ingested rows count once, never stacked.
What the labels on these rows mean
Venue is the marketplace the sale actually cleared on — eBay, Goldin, ALT, Fanatics, SNKRDUNK and the rest — established from the sale’s own listing URL, its auction house, or the feed’s own declaration of the venue. A via tag names the data feed that delivered the record; the feed is never the venue. Where none of those establish a marketplace the row says venue not disclosed rather than naming one we cannot prove, and an aggregated tag means the record reached us through a price aggregator rather than from the marketplace itself. Rows tagged guide are marketplace price-guide points (TCGplayer market / Cardmarket trend), not confirmed sales; rows tagged est. are inferred from a listing that left the market, not directly-recorded sales. Rows tagged recorded carry the day we recorded the sale rather than a sale date the venue published — the price is real either way, and we do not invent a date. The confidence panel under Price by grade explains what that means for a price.

Every point is a real population reading taken on the date shown — first reading 2026-08-27, latest 2026-09-22 (26 days). That is the whole window we hold for this card; it is not a one-year trend and we will not present it as one. A population can only grow — a card cannot be un-graded — so where a reading came back lower than the one before it, that is a partial crawl and the series carries the higher figure forward rather than drawing a fall that never happened.
Why this matters: scarcity is a flow, not a constant. A tier whose count is climbing is getting less scarce while its price chart says nothing at all — and a tier that has not moved in weeks is holding its scarcity. Nobody else publishes this per grade.

Embeddable price badges for Froakie — pick the look, copy, paste. Live global data no US-only rival can show.
Drop any of these into a listing, blog or forum signature. Each carries the card itself, the live number and the basis that number rests on — real sales with their count and venues, or a clearly labelled market estimate, or an honest price building when we hold no confirmed sale — and each updates as new sales land (cached 1 hour). Add ?theme=light for light backgrounds.
The first three carry the card scan inside the file — so they render anywhere an image renders, which makes them ~220 KB — wherever we can fetch a scan small enough to embed. Where we cannot, the same badge renders without the artwork rather than shipping a broken image; the price, the grade and the basis it rests on are unaffected. Mini deliberately carries no artwork and is ~1.5 KB — use it in a forum signature that loads on every post.
