Cache turns your phone into a card collection powerhouse. Faster scans, fewer wrong answers, quicker eBay listings — and your photos never leave your device. Scan any trading card — baseball, football, basketball, hockey, soccer, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and One Piece — and the workflow handles itself. From shoebox to listed in under a minute. SCAN IN SECONDS Point your camera at a card. Cache reads the printed text directly using on-device OCR — player, year, set, card number, parallel — and identifies the card against a complete checklist database. No cloud upload. No fabricated answers. Just the text that's actually on the card. Works with raw cards and graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC. KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH One tap pulls real-time eBay sold comps so you know exactly what your cards are selling for. See the low, median, and high across recent sales. Browse individual comps inside the app. LIST ON EBAY INSTANTLY Connect your eBay account once. Cache generates a complete listing — title, description, item specifics, condition, and pricing — built from your scan data and current market prices. Review it, tap list, done. ORGANIZE YOUR COLLECTION Every card you scan is saved to your personal database with photos, details, and estimated values. Search, filter, and sort. See your total portfolio value and watch it move over time. TRACK YOUR PORTFOLIO Interactive charts show how your collection is trending. Cache refreshes estimated values from live market data, so you always know where you stand. BUILD YOUR WISHLIST Add the cards you're hunting. Cache watches the market and tells you when one shows up. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Cache reads your cards entirely on your phone. Card recognition runs on-device using Apple's Vision framework — your photos are never uploaded, never sent to a third-party AI, and never used to train a model. The only thing that leaves your device is the parsed text when you request market comps or generate an eBay listing. You stay in control. WHAT YOU GET Everything. Cache is completely free — unlimited scans, eBay integration, live market pricing, wishlist, portfolio tracking, and backup. No subscription, no upsells, no catch. Cache is built by collectors, for collectors. No bloat, no social feeds, no noise — just the tools you need to manage, price, and sell your cards.
