Pokémon card tools

From “what is this?” to “what do I do with it?”. Each tool does one job, works in your browser, with nothing to install, and hands the card on to the next: find it, price it, check it, grade it or sell it.

Start here

Search or scan a card

Find your card once and it opens in the price checker. From there it goes with you to the grader, the calculators and your collection, so you never pick it twice.

Try

Step 1

Identify and price

Start here with a card you’ve just pulled or found in a binder.

  • What’s this card worth?

    Price checker

    Type the name and number, pick your card from the pictures, say which version it is, and get the near-mint value with PSA prices and the sales behind them.

    Example: Charizard ex 199/165, 151

    Near mint $415, PSA 9 $360, PSA 10 $1,425. From sold prices, updated Sep 29, 2026.

    Open this card

    You’ll need: The card’s name and number

    Check a price
  • What card is this?

    Card scanner

    Photograph the card and the scanner names it: the exact card, set and printing. When more than one card fits, it shows each of them and you pick.

    What you get

    The card’s name, set and number, with its raw and graded prices, ready to open in the price checker or add to your collection.

    The photo is uploaded to be recognised.

    You’ll need: A photo of the front

    Scan a card
  • Which set is my card from?

    Set symbol identifier

    Every English set’s symbol with its code, year and card count. Match the little icon on your card and go straight to that set’s priced checklist.

    What you get

    The set’s name, code, year and card count, from a chart of 185 English sets, 142 of them with the symbol pictured, and a link to every card in it.

    You’ll need: The symbol on the card

    Match a set symbol

Step 2

Check the condition

Condition decides the price. These two tell you what shape the card is really in.

  • What would this card grade?

    AI card grader

    Photograph the front and back for an estimated PSA-style grade with a range, centering measured on both sides, and every corner and edge scored on your own photo.

    What you get

    A report with the estimated grade as a range, the centering split front and back, a score for each corner and edge, and what to check in hand before you submit. It’s an UltraBall estimate, not a PSA grade.

    Both photos are uploaded to be analysed.

    You’ll need: A photo of each side

    Grade a card
  • Are the borders even enough for a 10?

    Card centering tool

    Add a photo, check the guides on each border, and read the split front and back with the best PSA and CGC grade that centering allows.

    Example: PSA’s limits for a 10

    PSA allows 55/45 on the front and 75/25 on the back for a 10. A front that measures 60/40 tops out at a PSA 9 on centering alone.

    The photo is sent for analysis only when “Place the guides for me” is ticked. Place the guides by hand and it stays on your device.

    You’ll need: A photo, or four border measurements

    Measure centering

Step 3

Grade it or sell it

The sums, with the fees taken off, before you pay for anything.

  • Is it worth sending to PSA?

    Grading calculator

    Expected gain after the grading fee for the right service level, shipping both ways and selling fees, against selling the card raw.

    Example: Charizard ex 199/165

    Come back a PSA 10 and you’re $774 better off than selling it raw. Come back a 9 and you’re $153 worse off. That’s after the $79.99 PSA Priority fee, $25.00 shipping and 13% selling fees.

    Run this card

    You’ll need: Raw, PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices

    Work out grading
  • What would I take home?

    Selling calculator

    eBay and TCGplayer fees line by line on the price your card actually sells for, with your profit after what you paid.

    Example: Charizard ex 199/165 sold raw

    Sell at $415 on eBay and $55.36 goes in fees, leaving $359. On TCGplayer it’s $55.26 in fees, leaving $360. Both before postage, on US seller fees.

    Run this sale

    You’ll need: The sale price

    Work out your cut

Step 4

Keep track

For the cards you’re keeping.

  • What’s my collection worth?

    Collection tracker

    Keep your cards by grade with what you paid, watch the value move, and see how far through each set you are. Free, with an export whenever you want one.

    What you get

    Your collection’s value today against what you paid, card by card and slab by slab, and your progress through every set you’re building.

    You’ll need: A free account

    Track your collection
  • Tell me when it gets cheaper

    Watchlist and price alerts

    Follow the cards you’re waiting to buy, set a target price, and get an email when a card reaches it.

    What you get

    One list of the cards you’re chasing with today’s price beside your target, and an email the day a card drops to it.

    You’ll need: A free account

Which tool do I need?

Questions about the tools

Are the tools free?

Yes, all of them. The AI card grader has a daily limit because each report costs us money to run, and so does having the centering tool place its guides for you. Everything else has no limit, including placing the centering guides by hand.

Do I need an account?

Only to keep things: a collection, a watchlist, or your grading reports. The price checker, centering tool and both calculators work without one.

Do they work on a phone?

Yes. They work in your browser, with nothing to install, and the photo tools open your phone’s camera.

What happens to the photos I add?

It depends on the tool. The AI card grader uploads both photos to be analysed by our provider, Ximilar, and its page sets out how long they’re kept and how to delete them. The card centering tool sends the photo to Ximilar only when “Place the guides for me” is ticked. Untick it and place the guides by hand, and the photo stays on your device.

Which cards do they cover?

English Pokémon cards, from Base Set to the newest release. Japanese and other languages aren’t covered, because their prices and print runs are different.

Where do the prices come from?

From cards that actually sold, not from what sellers are asking. Each sale is matched to the exact card and grade before it counts. How we price has the detail.
