## What is CardBeacon?

CardBeacon is the fast, focused home for your trading-card collection.

Add cards manually or capture the front and back to identify a card, inspect visible condition factors, estimate its grade and PSA 10 probability, and match it to current raw-card market reference data. Every result supports the collection record you control.

Build your collection your way:

• Add cards manually without using a scan credit
• Track collection value with a chart based on saved value history
• See card images, quantities, cost basis, and exact print variants
• Open any set to view Owned, Missing, and All checklists
• Search and sort sets by name, recently added, missing, or owned; add cards or binder pages directly from a checklist
• Track exact missing printings on a Chase Board without affecting collection value
• Scan both sides for an optional AI-assisted condition report
• Import and review up to 12 cards from one binder-page photo
• Review grading candidates and price-movement signals
• Keep previously loaded set checklists available at trade shows

Condition, grade, PSA 10 probability, value, and recommendations are estimates—not professional grades, appraisals, offers, or guarantees. Market availability varies by card and print variant.
