Scan your cards with the phone in your hand

Hold a card up to the camera. We read the name across the top and the set code along the bottom, match it against every printing in the catalog, and show you what we found. Check it, keep it, next card. Nothing is added to your collection until you say so.

1

Open the page, allow the camera

There is no app to install and nothing to sign up for beyond a free account. It runs in the browser on any phone, and the video never leaves the page.

2

Hold up a card

One still per card, shrunk before it is sent. We read the name, the set code and the collector number, and tell you which printing that is.

3

Check it and keep it

Wrong printing? The other printings of the same card are right there to pick from. When the pile is done, send the lot to a shelf in one go.

A free account scans ten cards a day, Collector Pro a hundred, and Curator as many as you like. Every plan reads a CSV export with no limit at all, so a big collection never has to come in one card at a time.

What it is good at, and what it is not

It is quick for the pile in front of you: a box of new pulls, a trade someone just handed you, a customer emptying a folder onto the counter. It reads a card at a time, checked by you, which is what you want when the cards are going into your own collection or an offer you are about to make.

It is not the way to load a hundred thousand commons. For that, export a CSV from whatever you use today and import the file: we read ManaBox, Moxfield, Deckbox, TCGplayer and Cardmarket exports, and there is a blank sheet to fill in if you keep your list in Excel.
