Card Scanner is a convenient app for digitally tracking, valuing, and managing your sports card collection. Scan your cards, save the front and back sides, automatically recognize card details, and keep track of your collection’s value all in one place. Use your smartphone camera to quickly add cards to your collection. The app helps you crop the image, improve scan quality, and save both sides of the card — front and back. All images stay neatly organized and are available whenever you need them. AI recognition makes adding new cards easier. Simply scan a card, and the app will try to identify it from the image and automatically fill in important details such as the name, year, series, number, special features, condition, and other information. This helps you catalog your collection faster without manually entering every field. Track the estimated market value of your cards with the price evaluation module. The app collects and compares data from similar marketplace sales, helping you better understand the current value of individual cards and your entire collection. Manage your collection in the way that works best for you. Add, edit, and delete cards, use filters, create folders, assign statuses, and quickly find the items you need. Organize your collection by category, year, series, value, condition, or any other parameter. The value profile helps you see the bigger picture. Track the estimated value of your entire collection, price changes over time, increases and decreases in value, profit, and loss. Charts and analytics help you understand which cards are gaining value and which ones are going down. Share your cards with other collectors. Publish individual cards, send images to friends, create a public collection profile, and showcase your best finds. The app also helps you exchange cards and connect with people who share similar interests. Marketplace links are available for buying and finding similar cards. You can quickly open similar listings, compare prices, and find cards you want to add to your collection. Card Collector is made for anyone who wants to keep their collection organized, understand its value, and always have access to their cards in digital form. Scan, value, sort, share, and grow your collection more easily, quickly, and conveniently.
