Knowing a card’s price is one thing. Knowing what the pile in front of you adds up to is another — and until now the app couldn’t answer it.
Collections change that. You can track what you own, see a live total, and record what you paid so the app can tell you whether you’re up or down. There’s also a lighter version for the moment someone hands you a stack at a show and asks what you’d give for it.
Collections
A collection is a list of cards you own. Add them by scanning, by searching, or straight from the “Add to collection” button on any card page.
Open the Collection tab and you get:
- A running total of what the collection is worth, in your market’s currency
- A value chart that builds day by day
- Profit and loss, once you’ve recorded what you paid
- Search and sorting, so a collection of hundreds stays usable
Each card shows its grade with the grading company’s logo, and an arrow for which way its price has moved recently.
Quick Comp
Some pricing jobs aren’t collections. Someone offers you a stack at a show, or you’re deciding what to bid on a bundle, and you want a number — not a filing system.
Quick Comp is for that. Tap it, scan the cards, read the total. You’re never asked to name anything or create anything. Nothing is kept unless you decide to save it, and if the pile turns out to be worth keeping you can turn it into a collection in one tap.
Why the numbers should be trustworthy
Most collection trackers price a card and leave it there. The problem is that “a card” isn’t one thing — a PSA 10 and a raw copy of the same card are different products with different markets, and treating them as one produces a number that’s confidently wrong.
So we don’t do that.
Every card is priced as the exact variant you hold. A PSA 10 is valued from PSA 10 sales. A PSA 9 from PSA 9 sales. Raw from raw.
Premium tiers are priced separately again. A CGC Pristine 10 is not a CGC 10, and a BGS 10 Black Label is not a BGS 10. On real cards in our data those sit ten times apart. If you hold one, the app prices it as one.
Only recent sales count. A card’s value is the median of its sales over the last six months. Older sales are ignored, because a card that’s doubled since spring shouldn’t be averaged against last year’s prices. On thinly traded cards, that difference is enormous — we found one where the old approach reported £384 for a card that had just sold for £700.
Cards we can’t price are left out, not zeroed. If you own a PSA 8 of a card that only ever sells raw or as a PSA 10, there’s nothing honest to price it against. It stays in your collection and sits outside the total. A smaller number you can trust is worth more than a complete-looking one you can’t.
Profit and loss
Record what you paid for a card and the app tracks the difference. Purchase prices are converted from whatever currency you bought in, so a card bought in dollars and valued in pounds is compared properly.
Profit and loss covers only the cards you’ve actually recorded a cost for, and says so. Measuring three receipts against the value of a nine-hundred card collection would produce a very impressive and completely meaningless number.
The value chart
Your collection’s value is recorded once a day, and the chart plots it from the day you created the collection. Switch between one week, one month, three months and all time.
It’s daily rather than live for a reason: the underlying market prices are recalculated once a day, so a finer chart would draw the same number over and over and imply a precision that isn’t there.
What it costs
Free accounts get one collection of up to 50 cards, plus unlimited Quick Comp lists. Premium removes both limits — as many collections as you like, with no cap on cards.
Recording purchase prices and seeing profit and loss is available on every tier. It isn’t a paid feature.
Scanning a card into a collection uses your daily scan allowance like any other lookup, but adding by search doesn’t use any — so you can keep building a collection after your scans have run out for the day.
Getting started
Update to the latest version and open the Collection tab. If you just want to see it work, Quick Comp is the fastest route: tap it, scan three or four cards you have to hand, and watch the total add up.
