Pokémon Card Value Checker & Scanner
Point your camera at a card and find out what it's worth. The scanner identifies the exact printing — set, collector number and finish — across 20,000+ English cards from Base Set to the newest expansions, then shows current TCGplayer and Cardmarket market prices with a daily price-history trend.
The scanner is in private beta
We're scaling up the card-recognition engine (20,000+ English cards, live TCGplayer and Cardmarket prices). It opens here for free — 3 scans a day — with an iOS app for unlimited scanning and collection tracking to follow. Check back soon, or browse the TCG guides meanwhile.
How the card scanner works
Every English Pokémon card is indexed by its artwork and its collector number. When you upload a photo, the scanner finds the card in the frame, straightens it, matches the artwork against the full card database, and reads the collector number (like 238/191) to pin the exact printing — which matters, because the same artwork can be reprinted across sets at very different values. You confirm the match and get the card's current market prices per finish, updated daily.
FAQ
How do I check what my Pokemon cards are worth?
Photograph the card with the scanner above (or look it up manually). The value checker identifies the exact printing — set, collector number and finish — and shows its current TCGplayer and Cardmarket market prices, which are the reference prices most buyers and sellers use.
How much are my Pokemon cards worth?
Most modern cards from bulk pulls are worth under $1, but chase cards range from $20 to several hundred dollars — the same artwork can differ 100x between printings. That is why identifying the exact set and collector number (like 238/191) matters more than the card name.
Is this Pokemon card price checker free?
Yes — the web scanner gives you 3 free scans a day with full price results. An iOS app with unlimited scanning and collection value tracking is in the works.
What makes a Pokemon card valuable?
Rarity tier (illustration rares, special illustration rares, alt arts), the finish (holofoil and reverse holo usually beat normal), the set and its print run, competitive playability, and condition. Professionally graded copies (PSA/BGS/CGC) of desirable cards sell for multiples of raw copies.
Does the scanner work on old cards and slabs?
Yes — the recognizer covers every English set from Base Set (1999) to the newest expansions, including WOTC-era cards, and handles sleeved and graded-slab photos. Fill the frame with one card for best results.
