About RipsChart
RipsChart puts numbers on the trading card boom: what cards sell for, how many get graded, where the shows and shops are, and what goes wrong when cards are stolen or faked.
Last updated November 12, 2026
What we cover
Phase one of the site covers the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. We track the trading card games (Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Riftbound, Gundam and newer games as they launch) and sports cards.
- Data: grading volumes, card shows, shop growth, release-day lines, prices and our public-records investigations.
- Card shops and card shows: listings by country, each with a source.
- Games: a hub for each game with its releases and numbers.
- Guides: plain answers on grading costs, fakes, record sales and more.
How we work
Every figure on RipsChart links to the page it came from and shows the date we checked it. If a number isn't published, we say so rather than estimate it. Where the data doesn't exist yet, we ask for it, using freedom-of-information and public-records requests. The methodology explains the sources and checks, and the editorial policy covers independence and corrections.
Who runs it
RipsChart is owned and run by Bhima Capital, a small holding company that builds and operates online publications. Its sister site is GamesChart, which applies the same sourced-and-dated approach to video game ratings, drop rates and costs.
RipsChart is independent. We aren't affiliated with any card publisher, grading company, auction house or marketplace, and nobody pays to appear in our data.
