Disclaimer

Important information about our platform, data, and limitations.

Effective date: April 14, 2026

1. Not Financial or Investment Advice

Brands of Babel LLC, operating as Kanto Research, is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial institution. Nothing on this platform — including fair values, deal scores, price trends, or any other data — constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.

All information is provided for informational and educational purposes only. You are solely responsible for your own purchasing, selling, and collecting decisions.

2. Data Accuracy and Fair Value Estimates

Fair values displayed on Kanto Research are computed from verified sold listing data, typically using the median of recent comparable sales. These values are estimates, not guarantees of what any particular card is worth or will sell for.

Market conditions change rapidly. Past performance does not predict future results. Some cards and grades have limited sales data, which we flag as low-confidence. Even flagged estimates may be inaccurate. Always evaluate the underlying data and use your own judgment.

3. Affiliate Disclosure

Kanto Research participates in the eBay Partner Network, an affiliate advertising program. Links to eBay listings may be affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Our deal scores, fair values, and all analytics are computed independently and are not influenced by affiliate relationships. We do not prioritize or promote listings based on commission potential.

4. Third-Party Data

Price data, listing information, and related content are sourced from eBay and other third-party platforms. We do not control, and cannot guarantee, the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of third-party data.

Listings may be removed or modified at any time. Prices may change between collection and viewing. Items may be misgraded, misrepresented, or inaccurately described by sellers. Kanto Research is not responsible for errors in third-party data.

5. No Guarantee of Results

Using Kanto Research does not guarantee profitable purchases or investment returns. The Pokemon card market is volatile, relatively illiquid, and subject to shifts in collector demand, grading standards, and broader economic conditions. A card identified as a “good deal” today may lose value tomorrow.

6. Grading Disclaimers

We display grades as reported by third-party grading companies including PSA, BGS (Beckett), CGC, and SGC. Kanto Research does not independently verify grades. Grading is inherently subjective — the same card may receive different grades from different companies or upon resubmission.

Always inspect cards carefully and verify grading authenticity through the respective grading company's certification lookup before purchasing.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Brands of Babel LLC, its officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform or any data provided on it, including losses from purchasing decisions made based on information provided by Kanto Research.

8. Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top. Your continued use of Kanto Research after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated disclaimer.
