Cardmarket at MagicCon Amsterdam, July 17–19: You can look forward to finding Cardmarket at Europe's most important Magic event of the year. Make sure to watch our Magic accounts across Bluesky/Instagram/Facebook/X at the beginning of July to see what we have planned for you!
Rarity Updates for Yu-Gi-Oh! and Digimon: Digimon got an additional rarity in May and now features ultimate rares as well. We have also changed the icon for Yu-Gi-Oh!'s ultimate rarity. Previously, one could confuse this game's ultimate rares (UL) with its ultra rares (UR). We decided to keep the more established abbreviation for ultra rares (still UR) and to add an exclusive letter to the more exclusive ultimate rarity (now UMR).
New Powerseller Badge: We made an updated, year-specific badge available to our 2026 Powersellers so they can show off their status.
Mobile Tooltip Bug Fixed: In some mobile views it was possible to get a tooltip that would display most of a card image off screen. We have retooled this.
Game-Specific Wants List Example Text: The easiest way to find a bunch of cards on Cardmarket is to go to "Buying ⇒ My Wants" and just enter a list (like any decklist you can download from Cardmarket Insight). If you're looking for specific versions of cards, you can also add parameters to the end of each line here. The entry field even shows a few examples of compatible formatting. The new part: We now show game-specific examples for our ten most popular games.
New Staff
Cardmarket got one additional support agent and another software engineer in May, but we also managed to find suitable candidates for seven other positions. This is why our list of job offers is now empty for the first time in a very long while. You should still check that page again from time to time, though, as we're sure to need more staff before long.

Simplified Chinese Pokémon Catalog Completion
With these updates, we finally have all Simplified Chinese Pokémon sets and singles up on Cardmarket. The option to list Simplified Chinese cards under their corresponding Japanese expansions is thus obsolete now and deactivated. We have removed all remaining offers for such cards from the Japanese sets. Affected sellers should relist their cards under the correct Simplified Chinese expansions.
