Card Check

Features
Read full description

Card Check turns your phone into a price checker for trading cards. Hold a card up to the camera and it identifies itself, then shows what it actually sells for — the live market price by condition and printing, and what graded copies have sold for. FIVE GAMES, ONE SCANNER Works with Pokémon, Riftbound (League of Legends), Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and One Piece cards. No mode to pick — Card Check tells which game a card belongs to from the card itself, reading the set code and collector number in the corner so new sets match the right listing from release day. WHAT IT DOES • Auto-scan — hold a card in frame and Card Check reads it, sleeves and all. Or choose a photo from your library, or type the card's corner text. • Live prices by condition — Near Mint, Lightly Played and Moderately Played, plus a one-month price chart. • Every printing — when a card comes in Normal and Foil, Holofoil, Reverse Holo or Cold Foil, switch between them and every price follows. • The right version — pattern, stamped and cosmos holo versions of a card are listed right under the match, so you can tap yours instead of getting the wrong price. • Graded sales — median PSA 10, 9 and 8 prices from recent eBay sales for Pokémon cards, with the number of sales behind each figure. • Market — each set's top cards and sealed products for every game. • Bulk — see which commons, uncommons and rares in a set are worth pulling at 10¢, 25¢ or 50¢ for Pokémon, Lorcana and Riftbound, with the cheapest current listing next to each market price. • Lorcana puzzle inserts — browse each set's puzzle piece by piece, or scan a piece and Card Check matches it by its picture. • Collection — track the cards you own and watch the total value move with the market. • Scan history — every scan is saved, so you can pull a card back up with fresh prices any time. FOR SELLERS • Sell this on TCGplayer — jump straight to your TCGplayer seller page for the card you just scanned. • Export for TCGplayer — turn your collection into a Seller Portal import file with quantities and today's market prices, then review it in Staged before anything goes live. Card Check never asks for your TCGplayer login. BUILT FOR COLLECTORS No account. No sign-up. No ads. Your collection and scan history stay on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud — we can't see them. Photos are read on your phone and never uploaded unless you choose to attach one to a wrong-match report. HONEST ABOUT PRICES Prices come from public marketplace data and are estimates, not appraisals. Graded prices show what already-graded copies have sold for — not a prediction of the grade your card would get.
