Editorial Policy

Original content only

Every guide, article, and card commentary on The PsyDucky is written originally by our team. We do not scrape, spin, or republish other people’s work. Where we reference facts, we describe them in our own words and in context.

Facts vs. opinion

We clearly separate verifiable facts (a card’s set, number, rarity, artist, and release date) from our own opinions (commentary, collectibility scores, and investment outlook). Opinion is always labeled as such, and our valuations are editorial estimates, not guarantees.

How we estimate prices and scores

• Prices are informed by observed sales ranges across the market at the time of writing. They are estimates and move constantly.
• Collectibility scores are a subjective 0–100 blend of demand, historical importance, artwork, and grade scarcity.
• Investment outlook is a plain-English judgment about how price relates to durable demand — not a prediction or a recommendation to buy or sell.

Independence

Our editorial judgments are independent of any advertiser or affiliate relationship, as described in our Affiliate Disclosure. No third party pays to change a score or outlook.

Updates and review

Card and market content is reviewed and refreshed on a regular schedule, and each guide and article shows a “last updated” date. When the market shifts meaningfully, we revisit affected pages sooner.

Corrections

We fix mistakes openly. See our Corrections Policy for how to report an error and how we handle it.
