Yes. Collectible Gem is free to use for everyone. We only make money by selling trading cards directly, not by charging hidden fees.
Pricing & Market Data
We gather data from verified platforms such as Market Movers, eBay, Whatnot, and official sources like Topps.com to provide real market insights.

Prices are updated regularly, at least weekly, and we’re integrating APIs to automate and keep the process even more up to date.
