Where do these prices come from?

Prices are TCGplayer’s, based on sales, and update every day. The weekly change compares today’s price with the price seven days earlier. A card worth $20 or more whose TCGplayer and Cardmarket prices are more than double apart is left out until its prices agree. This week that is 11 cards of the 130.
