Card Pilot is the operating system for your card collection. Scan a card with your camera and Card Pilot identifies the player, year, set, parallel and grade, then pulls real comparable sales so you know what it's actually worth — not a guess. SCAN AND IDENTIFY Point your camera at any card. Card Pilot reads the player, year, set, parallel, serial number and grade automatically, then adds it to your inventory with front and back photos. COMPS THAT RESPECT SERIAL NUMBERS A /25 parallel is not a base card, and pricing it like one costs you money. Card Pilot matches comparable sales to your exact print run and grade. When it can't confirm a match, it tells you instead of showing a number it can't stand behind. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Track what you paid, what it's worth now, and your unrealized profit on every card. Record sales and see realized profit and ROI across your whole collection. Refund a sale and the cost basis survives the round trip. BUY LIST AND TRADES Stage cards you're considering, price them at a percentage of market value, and move them into inventory when you pull the trigger. CARD SHOW RADAR Find shows near you. Set your home base by ZIP code, pick a radius, and see what's coming up — with venue, dates, table counts and admission. Get directions or add a show to your calendar in one tap. EXPORT YOUR DATA Export your sales history and current inventory to CSV. Money as numbers, dates in a sortable format, opens in Excel or Google Sheets. It's your data.
