MintDex β€” the TCG card scanner, price tracker and collection manager 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 β€” not converted from a US price guide. β€’ Card scanner β€” point your camera and MintDex recognises the card, set, number and variant in seconds. Graded PSA, BGS and CGC cards too: it reads the grade and cert number from the label. β€’ Price tracker β€” 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. β€’ AI centering check β€” measure your card's centering from the camera before you send it for grading, and find out whether it's worth it. β€’ Portfolio β€” one total for everything you own, with a chart of how it has moved. β€’ Price alerts β€” 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. β€’ Set completion β€” see at a glance which cards you're still missing, variants included. β€’ Sealed and graded β€” booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes and slabs tracked alongside your singles. β€’ Import your collection β€” bring it over from a spreadsheet or another app with a CSV file. β€’ Marketplace β€” list your cards for sale and browse what other collectors are offering. β€’ Social β€” follow other collectors, show off your pulls and pack openings, join clubs and answer the weekly question. β€’ Missions β€” goals and mini-games that make building your collection even more fun. β€’ Release calendar β€” upcoming sets and European events, all in one place. Supported games: PokΓ©mon (English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Korean), One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Riftbound and Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World. 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 PokΓ©mon Company, Bandai, Disney, Ravensburger, Wizards of the Coast, Konami or Riot Games.
