Pokémon Card Value Scanner
Point your camera at a Pokémon card and FlipAI identifies the set, card number, rarity symbol and holo pattern, then shows current eBay asking prices plus an AI estimate for that exact card.

Take a photo of the item or scan its barcode if it has one. FlipAI reads the details that decide value in this category and prices the result against live eBay market listings. A scan takes about ten seconds.
- Set name and set symbol, plus the card number (e.g. 4/102)
- Rarity — common, uncommon, rare, holo, reverse holo, full art, secret rare
- Edition markers like 1st Edition and Shadowless
- Language and promo stamps, which move value dramatically
Pokémon pricing is decided by tiny details: the same Charizard art can be worth $30 or $3,000 depending on set, edition and centering. Scanning removes the step where most people go wrong — matching the wrong printing and reading a price that is off by two orders of magnitude.
FlipAI returns raw market comps plus graded (PSA/BGS/CGC) comparisons, so you can see whether grading is worth the submission cost. For bulk, batch mode lets you run a stack instead of card by card.
What you keep after fees
A sold price is not profit. eBay takes around 13.25%, Poshmark 20%, Depop about 10%, and Mercari now charges sellers nothing. Run the numbers before you buy or list:

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Pokemon card value scanner work?
It reads the card image — set symbol, card number, rarity and edition markers — identifies the exact printing, then gives a range from current eBay asking prices (live listings, not sales) for that printing plus an AI estimate. Check sold listings yourself to confirm. No typing set names or card numbers.
Can it tell a 1st Edition or Shadowless card apart?
Yes. Those markers are visible on the card and FlipAI checks for them, because they are usually the single biggest driver of value on Base Set cards.
Does it price PSA graded Pokemon cards?
It shows current asking prices (live listings, not sales) for raw and graded copies plus an AI estimate, which gives a rough sense of the grading premium. Check sold listings for that card before deciding whether submitting is worth the fee and wait.
Can I scan a whole binder of Pokemon cards?
Yes — batch mode is designed for stacks and lots, so you can price a binder in one session and pull out the few cards that carry the value.
Is the Pokemon card scanner free?
You get 10 lifetime scans free with no credit card. Unlimited scanning is $9.99/mo on Pro.
