Pokémon Card Price Alerts for serious Pokémon grading decisions.
Price alerts are more useful when they match the decision a collector is making. Kardive supports raw thresholds, grade-specific thresholds, ROI and expected-value conditions, then checks them safely and sends email notifications.
Decision example
A PSA 9 threshold should include the selected company and grade.
The alert copy is grade-aware so the rule reads like the actual user decision, not a hardcoded generic PSA label.

FAQ
Common questions.
What is Pokémon Card Price Alerts used for?
Pokémon Card Price Alerts helps users move from Pokémon card research to a concrete grading decision. Get notified when raw or graded conditions become interesting.
Does Pokémon Card Price Alerts use real Kardive data?
This page describes how the feature works in Kardive: card metadata, raw value, graded prices, user cost defaults, saved assumptions and plan-aware access where relevant.
How is Pokémon Card Price Alerts different from a price tracker or spreadsheet?
A tracker usually answers what a card is worth, and a spreadsheet depends on manual formulas. Kardive connects the same context to grading-specific decisions: costs, grade outcomes, expected value, risk, saved workflows and plan-aware actions.
How does Pokémon Card Price Alerts connect to the ROI calculator?
The feature either feeds the calculator, explains a calculator result, saves a calculator scenario or brings the user back when a card needs a fresh ROI check.
Is Pokémon Card Price Alerts available on every plan?
Free and Pro access depends on the workflow. The public site sends people to login, while Kardive checks limits and Pro features inside the app.
