Photograph a sports or TCG card. Raw to Slab.ai identifies it, prices it from recent sales of the same card, and saves it to your collection. TWO JOBS, ONE APP Track what you own. Photograph cards one at a time, or a whole stack at once. Every card gets identified and priced, so you can see what you paid next to what it is worth today. Know whether grading is worth it. Before you send a card in for grading, see what that same card sells for at each grade, after the grading fee, the shipping and the cut you lose when you sell. Some cards are worth grading. Most are not, and the app tells you which is which. PRICES COME FROM REAL SALES Every price is built from recent sold listings for that exact card, not from a price guide. Tap a price to see the sales behind it, including the ones that were thrown out for being the wrong card, the wrong grade or the wrong parallel. When there are not enough good sales to be sure, the app says so rather than making a number up. WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE Centering. Measure a card's borders from the photo and see the best grade its centering would allow. Set checklists. See everything else in the set, and which ones you are still missing. Watchlist. Follow cards you do not own yet and get an alert when the price moves. Shareable lists. Turn any part of your collection into a web page you can send to someone, while what you paid stays private. Sell mode. Scan a stack at a card show or on a live stream and get each price, after fees, as you go. Labels. Print QR stickers for your cards, then scan one to open that card. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Card shows have bad wifi. The app still opens and still works offline, then catches up once you are back online. WHAT IT COVERS Sports cards: baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, golf, racing and wrestling. TCG cards from the major trading card games, including the print language. TCG support is newer, so fewer TCG cards find enough sales for a price than sports cards do. When one does not, the app tells you instead of guessing. ABOUT YOUR PHOTOS To read a card from a photo, the app sends that photo to an AI service. It asks your permission before the first scan and tells you exactly what gets sent. If you say no, you can still add cards by hand. Prices are estimates based on recent sales. They are not an offer to buy, and no app can promise what your card will sell for. SUBSCRIPTIONS Collector and Seller are monthly subscriptions billed to your Apple Account. Each renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
