Topic: New TCGPlayer Pricing

So, looking at TCGPlayer today, I noticed that they no longer are showing High-Average-Low pricing, and are instead showing just an average price.  Additionally, it now appears that they are showing an average Foil price!

I was just curious if you had heard anything about this affecting the API, and how we might be able to better utilize this data.  Do we still get High-Average-Low prices from the API, or just average?  Can we now do foil pricing?

Thanks!

Re: New TCGPlayer Pricing

The key is that they're not using the mean for the average; rather, opting to use the median for price calculations (as it's much less susceptible to skew on either end).

Now what that means for the site, Sebi/Catinca will have to answer that, but I'm personally glad to hear that we don't have to worry about the prices at TCG going crazy because someone sold a basic land for $3,000... Nevermind the fact that the prices didn't account for it being signed by every magic developer ever or whatever other BS.
