CARDSTOP / TRUST
Editorial policy
How Cardstop turns official records, first-party operational data and dated references into useful collector resources.
Last reviewed: 27 August 2026. Applies to card lists, market data and News.
01 / PURPOSE
Useful before searchable
Every page must answer a collector task. Search phrases never replace useful visible content.
02 / SOURCES
Official records come first
Card names, numbers, rarity and release facts are checked against official-language records where available.
03 / PRICES
Reference prices are labelled
Cardstop figures are group-buy references—not completed transactions, valuations or investment returns.
04 / REVIEW
Human editorial responsibility
AI may assist structure and quality assurance; a Cardstop editor remains responsible for claims and sources.
05 / CORRECTIONS
Changes remain accountable
Material factual corrections update the page and modified date.
06 / INDEPENDENCE
No paid ranking inside guides
Sponsored or affiliate content must be visibly disclosed if introduced.
