## What is Trading Card Album?

Your card binder, in your pocket.

Trading Card Album is for collectors — and parents of collectors — who want the whole binder along without risking the cards. Snap a photo of each card, front and back, and flip through the collection anywhere: at a show, at a trade, in the back seat.

EVERYTHING SAVES ITSELF
Take a photo and the card is in the collection. Add the name, grade, set, values, or notes whenever you like — every change saves automatically.

BUILT FOR CARDS
• Portrait tiles shaped like real cards — the grid looks like a binder page
• Front AND back photos for every card, because backs verify condition
• Grading badge (PSA 9, BGS 8.5, raw — your words) right on the tile
• Filter the grid: all cards, TCG, sports, or graded only
• Search by name, set, grade, or notes
• Mark favorites with a heart, drag to reorder, pinch to zoom on corners

KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH
Track what you paid and what each card is worth now — the dashboard shows the card count and total collection value at the top of the grid, and every card shows its gain or loss.

READY FOR TRADE SHOWS
Pick the cards you're bringing and they appear in the Trade Show list with a running total — your packing list for the table. Export a landscape PDF inventory (photos, grades, values, total) or a CSV spreadsheet to keep behind the table, then return everything to the collection after the show.

OPTIONAL AI — BRING YOUR OWN KEY
Add your own Anthropic API key in Settings and the app can identify a card from its photo (name, category, grade, set, estimated value) and answer questions about your collection ("what's my most valuable card?"). Photos go directly from your device to your own Anthropic account — we never see them. Costs less than a penny per card, and without a key the entire app works normally.

YOUR FAVORITE, ALWAYS ON THE HOME SCREEN
A widget shows your favorite card right on the home screen.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account. No ads. No tracking. We collect nothing — ever.
• Photos and details stay on your device. The app's only network use is the optional AI feature above, under your own key, at your request.
• Optional 4-digit passcode keeps the collection private on a shared device.

TAKE IT WITH YOU FOREVER
• Share the collection as a photo-grid PDF — names and grades included, ready to print or send as a sell sheet
• One-tap backup file moves everything to a new phone

Trading Card Album has no accounts and no tracking. It's just you and your cards.
