In short
The same Pokémon card can show different prices on Cardmarket, TCGPlayer, eBay and Fanatics. None is wrong; they measure different markets. Knowing which to trust depends on where you buy and sell and on the item itself.
Cardmarket is the dominant European marketplace and prices in euros, so it reflects what EU collectors actually pay. TCGPlayer is the equivalent US marketplace in dollars. For graded slabs, two sources record real sold prices: eBay (global) and Fanatics (auctions, including high-end), and these are the best signal because the exact grade and population drive price.
Cardmarket also surfaces some graded listings. CollectHolo shows those per card where available, though graded coverage on Cardmarket is less complete and less certain than eBay or Fanatics sold data.
If you buy and sell in Europe, Cardmarket is your reference. In the US, TCGPlayer. For graded cards, eBay and Fanatics sold listings are usually the truest signal because grade and population drive price. Converting a US price to euros is only an approximation of the European market.
A single source can mislead: a thin Cardmarket listing, a stale TCGPlayer figure, or one outlier sale. Seeing Cardmarket, TCGPlayer, eBay and Fanatics together gives a fuller, more reliable value. CollectHolo shows them so you do not have to check several sites, and it is free to use.

eBay and Fanatics sold listings are usually the best signal for graded slabs, because the exact grade and population drive price and each sale is recorded. CollectHolo incorporates both eBay and Fanatics graded sales for this reason, and also shows Cardmarket graded listings per card where available.
