## FlipAI Now Available on iPhone — The Best Sports Card Scanner App for Resellers Sports card resellers, this one's for you. **FlipAI is now live on the Apple App Store**, and inside it is the most accurate, fastest sports card scanner we've ever shipped. [Download FlipAI free on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/flipai-ai-reseller-tool/id6761918301) and start pricing every card in your collection in seconds. Whether you're sorting a $5 dollar-bin box at a card shop, breaking sealed wax, hunting Pokemon at Target, or going through a deceased relative's binder, FlipAI tells you exactly what every card is worth — without you typing a single word. ## How FlipAI Detects Sports Cards Automatically The moment FlipAI's vision model sees a card-shaped object on screen, it switches into **Sports Card Mode**. It doesn't matter if the card is loose, in a penny sleeve, in a top-loader, or slabbed in a PSA/BGS/SGC case — FlipAI recognizes the format and adjusts. From a single photo (or up to 6, for tricky cards), FlipAI extracts: - **Player name** — including last-name-only cards and minor leaguers - **Year** — pulled from the copyright text or set design - **Set / brand** — Topps Chrome, Panini Prizm, Bowman Draft, Upper Deck Young Guns, Pokemon Base Set, etc. - **Card number** — including SP and SSP designations - **Parallel or insert** — Refractor, Silver, Gold /10, Black 1/1, holo, reverse holo - **Rookie status** — RC logos and first-year-card detection - **Grade and grading company** — PSA 10, BGS 9.5, SGC 8, CGC, HGA - **Auto / patch / relic** — autograph card detection with player verification It does all of this in about 4 seconds. No more squinting at the back of the card to read the year. ## Real eBay Sold Price Data FlipAI's pricing engine doesn't use estimates, average asks, or guesses. It pulls **real eBay sold listings** for the exact card you scanned, filtered by grade, parallel, and condition. You see: - The median sold price (last 90 days) - A high/low range so you understand spread - Sale velocity (how fast cards are moving) - An asking price calibration for high-value cards where sold comps are sparse For graded cards, sold comps are filtered separately for **PSA, BGS, and SGC** — because we all know a PSA 10 and a BGS 9.5 are not the same market. ## Every Sport, Every League, Every TCG FlipAI's card recognition is trained on a massive set across every major collecting category: - **Pokemon** — Base, Jungle, Fossil, modern English and Japanese sets, Trainer Gallery, Crown Zenith, Special Illustration Rares - **NBA** — Topps, Upper Deck, Panini Prizm, Optic, Mosaic, Select, National Treasures - **NFL** — Topps, Donruss, Score, Prizm, Mosaic, Contenders rookie tickets - **MLB** — Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft 1st, Heritage, Stadium Club - **NHL** — Upper Deck Young Guns, SP Authentic, Tim Hortons - **NASCAR** — Press Pass, Panini Prizm Racing - **WWE / AEW** — Topps Chrome WWE, Panini Prizm - **MLS / Soccer** — Topps Chrome, Panini Mosaic, Champions League - **Formula 1** — Topps Chrome F1, Lap parallels - **Tennis** — Topps Chrome Tennis - **PGA / Golf** — Upper Deck SP Authentic Golf - **One Piece, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana** — full TCG support If you have it, FlipAI knows it. ## Platform Recommendations for Selling Cards Not every card sells best on eBay. FlipAI tells you where to list: - **Raw modern cards under $20** — Whatnot or Mercari for speed - **Graded mid-tier cards** — eBay auction with 7-day timer - **High-end slabs ($500+)** — eBay BIN with Best Offer, or PWCC Marketplace - **Pokemon singles** — TCGplayer for accurate pricing - **Vintage raw** — eBay BIN with Best Offer, photos of corners and centering The recommendation engine factors in fees, audience, and time-to-sale. ## Built for Card Show Resellers and Breakers FlipAI's **Batch Scan** mode is built for moments when you're sitting at a card show table, sorting through a 5,000-count box you just bought. Scan 50 cards in a row, get a combined value total, and decide on the spot whether to keep the lot, break it up, or pass. Breakers love the **AI Negotiator** for haggling on raw lot purchases — paste the seller's last DM and get a counter-offer script that lands more deals. ## Why iPhone Resellers Love It The native iOS camera, instant launch, and on-device speed make FlipAI feel as fast as snapping a regular photo. There's no upload spinner, no laggy web view, no pop-up ads. Tap, scan, see price. That's the loop. The dark theme is easy on the eyes during late-night sorting sessions. Apple Sign-In and Face ID make signup take 4 seconds. ## Pricing - **Free** — generous daily scan allowance, perfect for casual collectors - **Pro** — unlimited scans, multi-photo, profit tracker, AI Negotiator - **Power Seller** — everything plus batch mode, market research, price alerts A 7-day free trial is included on both paid tiers. ## How to Start Pricing Cards Today 1.
