Collector Master was born from a passion for card collecting. Every card has a story, and every completed set is an achievement. This app is made for people who collect with their heart, not just their wallet. Scan your cards, browse your digital binders, mark the ones you're missing and connect with other collectors who share your passion. Works with the most popular trading card games (TCG), with new titles added over time. WHAT YOU CAN DO Point your camera at a card and the app automatically recognizes its name, set and language. Add it to your collection in an instant. Create custom binders just like the real ones. Organize them by set, series or game. See at a glance what you own and what you're still missing to complete a set, and share your binders with other collectors in a single tap. Create and manage your decks right inside the app. Every deck is automatically validated against the game's rules, with always up-to-date stats so you can tell at a glance if it's ready. Share your decks with the community and import others. Mark the cards you're looking for. When another collector has one available, you'll be the first to know. Propose trades, find collectors near you and complete your collection piece by piece. Because the best part of collecting is sharing it. Talk to other collectors through the built-in chat with end-to-end encryption. Arrange trades and meetups with total peace of mind. Get notified when someone is looking for your cards or when a card on your wishlist becomes available. Curious about how much your cards are worth? Integrations with leading price trackers let you check current market prices. The app is available in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German. Cards are supported in every official language of each game.
