Collector Master was born from a passion for card collecting. Every card has a story, and every completed set is an achievement. This app is made for people who collect with their heart, not just their wallet. Scan your cards, browse your digital binders, mark the ones you're missing and connect with other collectors who share your passion. Works with the most popular trading card games (TCG), with new titles added over time. WHAT YOU CAN DO Point your camera at a card and the app automatically recognizes its name, set and language. Add it to your collection in an instant. Create custom binders just like the real ones. Organize them by set, series or game. See at a glance what you own and what you're still missing to complete a set, and share your binders with other collectors in a single tap. Create and manage your decks right inside the app. Every deck is automatically validated against the game's rules, with always up-to-date stats so you can tell at a glance if it's ready. Share your decks with the community and import others. Mark the cards you're looking for. When another collector has one available, you'll be the first to know. Propose trades, find collectors near you and complete your collection piece by piece. Because the best part of collecting is sharing it. Talk to other collectors through the built-in chat with end-to-end encryption. Arrange trades and meetups with total peace of mind. Get notified when someone is looking for your cards or when a card on your wishlist becomes available. Curious about how much your cards are worth? Integrations with leading price trackers let you check current market prices. The app is available in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German. Cards are supported in every official language of each game.

MintDex

MintDex — the card collection tracker built for European collectors. Binders in a drawer, slabs in a box, and no real idea what it's all worth? MintDex scans your cards, prices them and turns your whole collection into one number you can follow. Prices come from Cardmarket: your market, in euros, for the language your cards are printed in — not converted from a US price guide. • Scan and add — point your camera and MintDex recognises the card, set, number and variant in seconds. • Real prices — up-to-date values by language and condition. A PSA 10 is not a PSA 9: graded cards are priced separately for PSA, BGS and CGC. • AI centering check — measure your card's centering from the camera before you send it for grading, and find out whether it's worth it. • Portfolio — one total for everything you own, with a chart of how it has moved. • Price alerts — set a target price and get notified when a card drops below it. Live alerts check the market every 3 hours, daily alerts once a day. • Set completion — see at a glance which cards you're still missing, variants included. • Sealed and graded — booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes and slabs tracked alongside your singles. • Import your collection — bring it over from a spreadsheet or another app with a CSV file. • Trade and share — show off your pulls, follow other collectors and list cards for trade. Supported games: Pokémon (English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Korean), One Piece and Disney Lorcana. Start free. MintDex Pro adds live alerts, unlimited collections and scans, full price history and centering checks. Pro Plus is built for sellers and serious investors, with even more alerts and checks. Made in Italy by collectors who were tired of guessing what their collection was worth. MintDex is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Bandai, Disney or Ravensburger.
