Cardex is the fastest way to scan, identify and track the value of your trading card collection. Whether you're a casual collector or a serious trader, Cardex tells you exactly what your cards are worth. SIX CARD CATALOGUES • Pokémon — English, Japanese and Chinese • One Piece • Dragon Ball Super Fusion World • Dragon Ball Super Masters INSTANT AI CARD SCANNING Point your camera at a card and Cardex identifies it in seconds. Detection runs on your iPhone rather than a server, so scans stay fast and keep working when your connection doesn't. BULK SCANNING Got a stack to get through? Bulk Mode takes up to 100 photos at once, finds every card in each image, identifies them automatically, and lets you review everything before it reaches your collection. REAL-TIME MARKET PRICES Current prices from TCGplayer and PriceCharting across Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Heavily Played and Damaged, and across variants including Normal, Holofoil and Reverse Holofoil. PRICE HISTORY CHARTS Watch a single card or your whole collection move over time. Drag across the chart to read any day's value, switch between time ranges, and see gains and losses at a glance. COLLECTION MANAGEMENT Build as many collections as you like — by set, by binder, by trade folder, or however you happen to think about your cards. Each one tracks total value, card count, quantities and conditions, and cards move between them freely. PORTFOLIO TRACKING Your total collection value at a glance, in any of 30+ currencies with automatic exchange rates. GRADED CARDS Track PSA, BGS and CGC graded cards with their grades and their graded market values. SEARCH THE FULL CATALOGUE Look up any card by name, check what it's worth, and add it straight to a collection. CARD DETAIL Tap a card for high-resolution artwork, current market price, a condition pricing table, price history, external pricing links and live eBay listings. SCAN HISTORY Every session saves itself. Go back to any earlier scan, review it, or restore it. EXPORT AND IMPORT Export a collection to share it or to back it up, and import Cardex exports and compatible collection files. MAKE IT YOURS Set your preferred currency, price markup, rounding, default pricing source, and a dark interface built for long sessions.
