KOTAMON Card Values

A card name alone does not determine one permanent selling price. Official material shows condition and quality as separate factors.

The short answer

The official Steam description says cards may be crumpled, damaged, or torn; it also says cards in better condition cost more. Official trailer footage shows different copies in a sell interface with their own quality display and prices. A single universal number beside a card name would hide that variation.

Keep these fields separate

FieldWhat it describesWhat the site does
RarityThe printed R, SR, or SSR label.Stored on every documented card page.
Color setBlue, white, red, or purple binder group.Used for set checklists and achievements.
Quality / conditionThe state of an individual copy.Explained here, not converted into an invented formula.
FoilA special collectible variant.Tracked only as a visitor's own observation.

Mending and swapping

The official store specifically presents mending or swapping cards as ways to improve the collection. That supports a decision loop: inspect a copy, compare its condition with the copy you already hold, then decide whether collection progress or selling is the better outcome.

How to record a useful value note

  1. Record the card name and rarity.
  2. Record the quality shown on that exact copy.
  3. Record whether it is a foil copy.
  4. Record the displayed sell price and game version/date.
  5. Compare only like-for-like copies before drawing a rule.
