TradeStack is the trade calculator Pokémon TCG collectors have been doing without. When you're negotiating a trade at your local game store, at a convention, or over Discord, you're doing mental math against prices you don't have in front of you. TradeStack ends that. Search a card, pick the variant and condition, add it to your stack, and set your trade percentage. TradeStack shows you the market value and trade value instantly. The whole session takes under 60 seconds. BUILT FOR HOW COLLECTORS ACTUALLY TRADE Collectors trade at 60–80% of market price. That accounts for liquidity and the absence of platform fees you'd pay on eBay or TCGPlayer. TradeStack has percentage presets at 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 — tap once, everything updates instantly. CONDITION AND GRADE AWARE Raw pricing for NM, LP, MP, HP, and DMG. Graded pricing for PSA, BGS, CGC, TAG, and ACE. A PSA 10 and a raw NM copy of the same card are different trade items at different prices — TradeStack treats them that way. BUYING AND SELLING Flip the toggle and the calculator reframes instantly. Selling shows you what you're giving up. Buying shows you what you're saving. Same math, the right lens. NO ACCOUNTS. NO SETUP. TradeStack is session-only. Open it, build your stack, close it. Nothing is stored, nothing requires a login. It's a calculator, not a platform. TradeStack uses real market pricing sourced from TCGPlayer and eBay completed listings.

HyperGrade tells you whether a card is worth grading before you pay the fee. Point your camera at any Pokémon card. HyperGrade measures its centering with the same precision graders use, estimates your odds of a PSA 10, and shows what the card is worth raw versus graded. No fake AI grades and no hype. Just honest math built on real grading results. WHY COLLECTORS USE IT • Centering, measured: precise frames give exact ratios, like 55/45, the way graders actually judge them • Honest grade odds: your chance of a PSA 10, 9, or lower, calibrated on hundreds of real submissions • The dollar verdict: raw price versus PSA 10 price, your expected return, and whether the card clears the grading fee • All four companies: PSA, BGS, CGC, and TAG calls from one scan • Shot at an angle? Perspective correction flattens your photo automatically • Works offline: every measurement happens on your device YOUR COLLECTION Save every scan with photos, grades, and notes. Track cards from saved to submitted to graded, then record the real grade and see how our call compared. We keep score honestly, even when we miss. PORTFOLIO See what your binder is worth today, what it could be worth graded, and which cards actually clear the fee. Live prices, updated daily. FREE AND PREMIUM Scanning and centering are free forever. Premium adds exact odds, dollar verdicts, BGS, CGC and TAG calls, unlimited saved cards with cloud sync, and the portfolio. One subscription also unlocks everything on hyperpotion.io, including fair value boards and card intelligence. New subscribers get a 3 day free trial. THE HONEST PART Grades here are calibrated estimates from your photos and your inspection, not guarantees. Only a grading company decides the real grade. That is exactly why HyperGrade exists: to help you decide when the fee is worth the shot. HyperGrade is not affiliated with PSA, Beckett, CGC, TAG, Nintendo, or The Pokémon Company.
