About

Binder Card Case

Features
Read full description

Binder is a card case for your Pokemon collection. Scan what you own, see what a set is still missing, and know what finishing it would cost. SCAN WITH THE CAMERA Point the camera at a card and Binder reads the printed number and set total to identify it. Recognition runs entirely on your device. No photo ever leaves your phone, and no account is required. EVERY SET, 1996 TO NOW 218 sets across 21 eras, with every numbered card and secret rare. Open a set and you get a pocket grid: tap to mark what you hold, and the band fills as the set completes. WHAT IT COSTS TO FINISH Every card carries a sourced Cardmarket price in euros. A set page shows how far along you are, what your copies are worth, and the exact cost of every card still missing. WHY A CARD IS RARE Pull rates per card, in packs and in booster boxes, alongside rarity, and the page and pocket where the card belongs in a physical binder. THE RECORD Binder writes down what your collection is worth once a day and charts it from the day you start. A contribution grid shows when the cards arrived. THE HUNT Keep a wanted list with a price cap per card, free. With Pro, Binder also watches Tradera, a Swedish marketplace, for listings at or under your cap. FREE AND PRO Free covers one tracked set completely: scanning, the pocket grid, prices, rarity and positions, plus your hunt list. Pro unlocks unlimited sets and the Tradera watch on your hunt list. Binder is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK inc., or The Pokemon Company.
