How it works
From card in hand to a useful match.
A reliable value check starts with identification. The scanner makes that first step faster, while keeping the final verification in your hands.
Confirm the printing
Compare the suggested match with the visible card name, set mark, collector number, language, and holo treatment. Similar art can appear in different releases.
Check the context
Review rarity and pricing context, then account for condition and recent comparable sales. Treat any estimated range as research—not a guaranteed sale price.

Quick answers for your next card.
Each answer gives you the direct version first, then points to a deeper workflow when the details matter.
How do I scan a Pokémon card with my iPhone?
Open the scanner, place one card on a plain surface in even light, keep the full card inside the frame, and hold still until a match appears. Confirm the set and collector number before relying on it. Learn more about better scans →
How can I check what a Pokémon card is worth?
Identify the exact printing first, then compare recent sold examples in the same condition and language. Asking prices are not proof of value, and a scanner estimate is a starting point rather than an appraisal. Learn the complete value workflow →
Can a scanner identify which Pokémon card I have?
A camera scanner can narrow the match using the image and visible details. Verify the name, set, collector number, language, and finish because different printings may reuse artwork. Learn how to confirm a match →
Where is the collector number on a Pokémon card?
On most modern cards, it appears near the bottom edge as a pair such as 123/198. Position and format vary by era, so use the number with the set mark and name. Learn how card numbers work →
Does a rarity symbol tell me the card's value?
No. Rarity is one clue; value also depends on the exact printing, condition, demand, language, finish, and recent sales. Learn how to check rarity →
Can an app prove that a Pokémon card is authentic?
No camera match alone proves authenticity. A scan can identify what a card appears to be, but valuable cards may require careful in-person examination or a reputable authentication service. Learn what a scan cannot confirm →
Is the scanner available on Android?
No. This version is made for iPhone and will be available through the Apple App Store. See the iPhone download section →
Are Pokémon card prices fixed?
No. Prices move with supply, demand, condition, and market activity. Recheck current sold examples before buying, selling, insuring, or grading a card. Learn how to use sold comparables →
