Cardboard Alpha

Cardboard Alpha identifies trading cards through the camera and shows the market price the moment it recognises one — no shutter, no typing. Scan a stack, watch the running total, and every hit lands in your collection.

• Instant scanning: hold a card up, hear the match, see the price. • Your collection, valued: totals by set, master-set completion progress, raw or graded. • Market research: price history, recent sales, liquidity and trends for every card. • Deals and alerts: set a target price and get told when a listing comes in under it. • Trades: build a give/receive trade, complete it, and your collection updates. • Friends (optional): if you choose to, find friends who already use the app from your contacts and see whose collection is worth the most. You are asked first, in the app, before anything is uploaded; nothing is rewarded for it. • Buy cards: add a card, or the rest of a set, to your cart; physical cards are shipped to your door, paid by card or Apple Pay. • Watchlist and alerts synced to your account. Sign in with Apple, Google or email; delete your account any time in Settings.

Prices come from real sales, updated continuously. Card images are shown as market data to identify real physical cards. Cardboard Alpha never claims a card is authentic or grades its condition; it tells you what the market pays. Purchases in the app are physical items, paid by card or Apple Pay.
