Frequently asked questions
Everything about Card-O-Rama, the trading card scanner that evaluates trades.
What is Card-O-Rama?
Point your phone or webcam at a trading card and it identifies the card, estimates its value, reads its condition, and suggests smart trades — then helps you track your collection over time. It also helps you with fair trades. There's a "for later" section where you store future trades you might do, plus a virtual binder and wishlist.
Which cards does it work with?
Pokémon, baseball, basketball, football, soccer, cricket, and hockey — modern and vintage, including parallels, autos, relics, rookies, short prints, and serial-numbered cards.
Is it free?
Yes — you can scan, appraise, build a binder and wishlist, check trades, and get the morning briefing for free.
How do I scan a card?
Open Scan, use your camera or upload a photo, and line the card up inside the on-screen frame — it doesn't have to fill the whole screen, it crops to the box. For the sharpest read, use good lighting and hold steady; blurry shots get flagged so you can retake. You can add multiple photos of a card, including the back, for extra accuracy.
Can I scan many cards at once?
Yes. Use the bulk feature and get the same results as a single scan.
I don't have the card in hand — can I still look it up?
Yes. Use Search and just describe the card (player, set, year, parallel) to get the same value, stats, and trade ideas.
How accurate are the values?
Every card is priced from real, recent market data, then double-checked: live sold-price comps, real Pokémon market prices (TCGplayer/Cardmarket), and a second pass that re-checks the value against recent sold listings before showing it. They're strong, grounded estimates — not a guaranteed sale price — so always sanity-check before a big trade. Direct eBay sold-price data is being added to make pricing sharper still.
What is the morning briefing?
A daily update on your players and cards — real, dated results and trends across the sports and TCGs you follow. Sections about your binder and wishlist only appear once you actually have cards in them. It also includes other general news.
How is my data stored?
Your collection is stored on your own device. When you sign in with an account, it's also saved to your private account so it syncs across your devices — log in anywhere and your binder, wishlist, and settings are right there. Your information is never sold. See our Privacy Policy for details.
I forgot my password.
On the login screen, tap Forgot password? and enter your email — a reset code is sent to the address on your account.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes — it's a web app, so it runs in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience.
