MintDex β€” 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 β€” not converted from a US price guide. β€’ Scan and add β€” point your camera and MintDex recognises the card, set, number and variant in seconds. β€’ Real prices 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€’ Trade and share β€” show off your pulls, follow other collectors and list cards for trade. Supported games: PokΓ©mon (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 PokΓ©mon Company, Bandai, Disney or Ravensburger.

Photograph a ring, necklace or brooch and get a structured read of it: the metal, the purity, every hallmark the photo shows, the stone, and an estimated resale range. Most people photographing a piece of jewelry are holding something they did not buy. It came out of a grandmother's box, an estate, a house clearance, a thrift tray or a flea market table. This app is built for that moment, when nobody in the room can tell gold from gold-plate. WHAT ONE PHOTO RETURNS β€’ Item type: solitaire ring, tennis bracelet, pendant necklace, stud earrings, brooch β€’ The metal in plain words, with the visual basis stated when it is inferred rather than stamped β€’ Purity read off the hallmark where one is legible: 14K (585), 18K (750), 925, PT950 β€’ Every hallmark and stamp the photo shows, each listed with what it actually means β€’ The primary stone, named together with its look-alikes rather than as a verdict β€’ Cut, color and rough size cues for the center stone, flagged as an eyeball estimate β€’ Setting style: four-prong solitaire, bezel, pave, channel-set, halo, three-stone β€’ Era and style: Art Deco, Victorian, Retro, mid-century, contemporary, reproduction β€’ An estimated secondhand value range, always a band, never a single figure β€’ The diagnostic markers a buyer would check in person β€’ Care rules written for this metal and this stone β€’ Short facts about the piece and the style it belongs to THE ESTIMATE, HONESTLY The value is an AI reading of a photograph, so it arrives as a range. A plated brass ring and an 18K one can look identical in a picture. The app says so out loud: when a hallmark is not legible, when a clear stone needs in-hand gemological testing, and when a piece that reads as fine is showing plating wear-through or glued stones. This is research. It is not an appraisal, a certificate or a lab report, and it does not replace one. WHERE THE MARKS HIDE The analysis follows the stamp locations a jeweler checks: the inner ring shank, the clasp tongue or spring ring, the earring post, the brooch pin stem. When a mark is worn, blocked by glare or simply absent, the result says so instead of inventing a karat. ASK AI Every result opens into a conversation with a jeweler and gemologist persona, scoped to jewelry, gemstones, metals and hallmarks. Ask where the karat mark hides on a chain, how fine jewelry differs from costume, plated and vermeil, why a photograph cannot separate a diamond from moissanite or white sapphire, what moves a resale range, or how to clean a piece without wrecking it. CARE THAT PROTECTS THE PIECE β€’ Warm soapy water and a soft brush suit diamonds and most hard stones β€’ Never ultrasonic-clean emeralds, opals, pearls or tanzanite β€’ Keep pearls away from perfume and hairspray β€’ Take pieces off before pools and hot tubs, because chlorine attacks gold-alloy solder β€’ Store pieces separately so harder stones do not scratch softer ones WORK THROUGH THE WHOLE BOX Every scan is saved to on-device history, so a jewelry box can be sorted piece by piece and revisited later. Saved results open without a connection. Identifying a new piece does need an internet connection, because the photo is read by a vision model. WHO IT IS FOR β€’ Anyone sorting an inherited or estate jewelry box β€’ Thrift, flea market and estate sale buyers deciding in seconds β€’ Resellers who need item type, metal, purity, setting and era for a listing β€’ People sorting a drawer of their own pieces, gifts and single earrings β€’ Anyone about to clean something and unsure what the cleaner will do to it Without a subscription you get two identifications per calendar day. Premium lifts the daily limit. One piece per photo. The app reads what is in the frame and returns the fields above. It does not weigh metal, measure carat weight, grade a diamond, or issue any document. Privacy policy: https://miladapps.pro/privacy Terms of use: https://miladapps.pro/terms
