PokeValue is the go-to unofficial app for European TCG collectors, sellers, and anyone who just found their childhood binder and wants correct, up-to-date pricing sourced daily from real European listings and sales prices. Nearly all card value scanner apps take their pricing from US eBay listings — which differ significantly from what cards actually sell for in Europe. PokeValue pulls from real European marketplace listings, so the numbers you see are the numbers that matter. Deal Alerts — We Watch the Market So You Don't Have To Add a card to your wishlist, tell us how far below market price you'd call a deal, and PokeValue watches the European marketplaces for you — CardMarket, Tradera and eBay. When a copy turns up, you get a notification naming the card, the price, and how far under market it is, opening straight onto the live listings. Set a minimum condition so a beaten copy never wakes you, or give an exact figure instead of a percentage if you're working to a budget. Scan and Identify, Accurately Point your camera at any card and PokeValue identifies it in seconds, with condition-based pricing so you know what your NM, EX or LP copy is worth rather than a generic average. Telling near-identical reprints apart is roughly twice as reliable as it used to be — and when the app isn't sure, it says so instead of quietly showing you the wrong set. European printings are handled properly, not treated as English cards that look odd. Cards in German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are identified correctly around 95% of the time, up from roughly two-thirds, and priced in their own language — rarely the same number as the English print. Digitalize Your Collection for Insurance and Proof of Ownership Photograph and store high-quality images of your cards in the cloud. If your collection is ever lost, stolen or damaged, you'll have documented proof of every card and its market value — exactly what an insurer needs. Your personal digital vault, always ready. Analytics and Portfolio Insights Track the total value of your collection over time, see your best performers, and understand your portfolio at a glance. Whether you're a casual collector or a serious investor, the numbers tell the full story. Automatic Condition Grading Let PokeValue assess the condition of your cards from photos — no guesswork, no second opinions needed. Consistent, objective grading every time. List Directly on Tradera Sell without switching apps. PokeValue connects directly to Tradera — Northern Europe's biggest auction marketplace — so you can list cards in seconds, with condition and pricing already filled in. Set Completion Tracking See exactly which cards you're missing from any set, counted against the full master set rather than the printed numbering. Chase those last few slots with confidence and never buy a duplicate by accident. Share Your Collection Show off your binder to friends, trade partners or the community. Share your full collection or individual cards with a link — no app required on their end. Bulk Actions and Seamless Export Add, edit, move or delete multiple cards at once. Everything you need to manage inventory at scale — export to CSV or spreadsheet for backups, trades or insurance documentation. Prices in Your Own Currency Euro, pound, krona, Swiss franc, złoty, koruna, forint, leu, króna, yen, yuan, and the US, Australian and Canadian dollars.
