Not a spreadsheet. Not a price tracker. A real home for your card collections and the people who share it — starting with Pokémon, with Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards, and more on the roadmap. Binde is built for collectors, not just Pokémon fans. Today, that means a true home for your Pokémon TCG collection — scan it, organize it, trade it, and share it with people who get it. A Feed Built for Collectors This isn't an afterthought — it's the heart of Binde. Follow collectors whose binders you admire, post your new pulls, message collectors you follow, and watch the likes and comments roll in. Every milestone, every grail, every new card and trade has somewhere to be shared and celebrated. Think of it as the social network collectors have been missing. AI-Powered Scanner Point your camera at a card and Binde identifies it instantly, including holo and non-holo variants. No manual entry, no guesswork. Use batch scan to scan multiple cards at once. Your Binder, Organized Track condition, grade, and quantity for every card. Organize by set, rarity, or custom binder pages, with your collection's value updating automatically. Trade & Sell, In Person Find collectors near you and message them directly to arrange a trade or sale — always meet in a safe, public place. Leave feedback after every trade so the community stays trustworthy. Verified, Not Guessed Verified-photo badges on cards mean what you see is what you get — no stock images standing in for the real card. Whether you're chasing a master set, scrolling your feed, or meeting up to trade in person, Binde brings the collection, the marketplace, and the community into one app — with more games on the way.
