TCGplayer
An app that scans trading cards and tracks their market prices.
What TCGplayer does
The TCGplayer app is the free mobile side of TCGplayer, a big online marketplace for trading card games. Scan a card to see its market price, keep your collection on your phone, and buy singles from thousands of sellers. It covers Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana and many more.
Point your camera at a card and the app finds it, so you don't have to type in set names and numbers. Each card shows market prices from the TCGplayer marketplace, a widely used price source for trading card games.
Sign in and your collection is with you, with market values for what you own. If you're missing a card for a deck, you can buy it from sellers on the marketplace right there.
It's free and built for trading card games, so it shines for Pokémon and Magic players. It's not the pick for sports cards. Scanning works best in good light; some reviewers say certain borderless and etched foils give it trouble. Prices are market estimates, so check recent sales before trading or selling a card that matters.
