From photo to priced in seconds

No typing card numbers into search boxes. No guessing at variants. Here's what happens when you scan.

1

Snap a photo of your card

Open the scanner and take a photo — or upload one from your library. Front is enough for most cards; you can add the back when a card needs a closer look. Football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, and Pokémon cards are all supported.

2

AI identifies the exact card

Your photo is matched against an embedding index of 276,000+ sports cards and the full Pokémon TCG catalog. Visual matching catches the details text search can't — parallels, refractors, color variants, and print runs — with AI vision as a fallback for anything unusual.

3

Confirm the variant

CardJunkie shows the matched card with its variants (base, parallels, numbered versions) so you can confirm exactly which one you're holding — because a base card and its /25 parallel are very different values.

4

See its live market value

The card lands in your collection with its live market value, based on what copies actually sell for. Values refresh every night, and each card keeps a price history chart.

5

Track, alert, and decide

Watch your collection's total value over time, get alerts when a card jumps or drops, check set completion, and use grading suggestions to see whether a PSA submission would actually profit.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of cards can CardJunkie scan?

Sports cards — football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer — plus Pokémon TCG cards. Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! aren't supported yet.

How accurate is the card identification?

Scans are matched visually against a database of over 276,000 sports cards and the full Pokémon catalog. High-confidence matches are near-instant; harder cards fall back to AI vision analysis, and you can always correct a match with a photo of the card back.

Where do the prices come from?

CardJunkie's pricing engine tracks real market activity — what cards actually sell for, not what sellers ask — and refreshes values nightly across your entire collection.

Is CardJunkie free?

Yes — the free plan includes 10 scans per month with full collection tracking. Paid plans add more scans, from $4.99/month up to unlimited scanning at $19.99/month.

Do I need the iPhone app, or can I use the web version?

Both work with the same account and collection. The web app runs in any modern phone or desktop browser and can be added to your home screen; the iPhone app offers the smoothest camera scanning experience.

Can I export my collection?

Yes — download your whole collection as a CSV at any time, including card details and current values.
