## What is Card Detective?

Card Detective uses AI to identify trading cards from a photo and check what they're listed for on eBay — snap a picture, get results in seconds.

IDENTIFY ANY CARD
Point your camera at any card and Card Detective identifies it with high accuracy. Works with:
- Sports cards — baseball, basketball, football, hockey
- Pokémon — all sets, editions, holo types, and rarities
- Yu-Gi-Oh! — set identification, edition, rarity, and passcode
- Magic: The Gathering — set, edition, rarity, and foil detection
From vintage Topps to modern Prizm, Base Set Charizard to Black Lotus.

CURRENT MARKET LISTINGS
See the low, average, and high asking prices across live eBay listings, so you know what sellers are asking for your card right now.

BUILD YOUR COLLECTION
Save scanned cards to your personal collection. Search and filter by player,
team, or year anytime.

TRACK YOUR VALUE OVER TIME
Card Detective re-checks your collection's prices automatically and charts how
the total moves, so you can see where your collection stands this week against last — not just on the day you scanned each card.

CARD DETECTIVE PRO
- 250 card scans per month
- Live eBay listing prices
- Collection value tracking and history
- Cloud backup for your collection

A note on pricing: Card Detective reports what cards are currently listed for on eBay, not what they have sold for. Asking prices run higher than final sale prices, so treat these as a market reference rather than an appraisal.
