Bad app
Honestly a bad app, you have to pay money if you want to scan more than five cards which is stupid and if you are scanning a signed card it will only want to scan the player part and not the autograph which is obviously one of to r things that make it worth something. Another problem is that you can scan a card and it will say like maybe “$10” then you scan the same exact card and it will say “$20” like it’s clearly just giving fake numbers. Overall bad app, do not recommend.
No
Super bad it sucks
Purposefully makes it hard
DO NOT TRUST THIS APP. It will inflate the price to the extreme incorrectly. It’ll make you look dumb if you set a price and the buyer googles the card and sees that you’re trying to charge hundreds of $$$ more than the card is worth. It’s a joke app. They won’t give my money back even though I just started the subscription. It’s a terrible app. This app isn’t bad when dealing with sports cards but it’s unintuitive. After you take the photo, and the card is identified you should be able to save to your collection and then take a pic right away. Instead you have to go back two steps ti take a pic to identify another card. Why not have the photo button be right next ti the save collection button?? They need to make it so it shows an average price for a near mint. Or at least let us select what it should trade the cards at. Cameras and AI aren’t good enough yet to rely so heavily on it.
Scam
This is a scam all of my cards were 12 dollars and above also everything needs a subscription just be for free and you will have more uses bad app👎
Inaccurate
Such a pain to use. Don’t waste money on this
Not accurate
Gotta go to an actual shop for a good evaluation this is just to scam ppl who don’t know what cars are worth
horrible
this is the worst app of all time if I can give it zero out of five stars I would I went to my friend who’s an Authenticator and he said it’s worth about 20 bucks and it said it was worth 200, 75 and 150
bad
it’s slow
Pay to use app
Cool app but im not paying money
Does not tell true prices
This app gave me false prices on every card I scanned do not recommend
Bogus Site
This site falsely told me that my Fleer card number 8 1990 Larry Bird Card was worth $125.00, I went to a baseball card shop and it’s worth $0.99 and my card is in mint condition. This site falsely told me that my Fleer card number 73 1990 Akeem Olajuwon was worth $250.00, it was worth $1.51 and it’s in mint condition. Don’t use this site, they provide you with false amounts of what your card is worth. The baseball card shop that I went to has been in business for at least 41 years. Don’t use Spoly, it’s a Scam!!
False free trial
So I went to get the 7 day free trial but when I got it it charged me 43$.Fix it.i need a refund
Wrong information
Does not scan cards accurately providing untrue value due incorrect data/year.
Scam
You only get 3 free card scans it’s a scam
Not good prices a lot of my cards wrong then what they really go for
0
Mess my whole day up.
The app told me some prices. That were crazy insane, where I thought I came up. So I went to a card store to get some money thinking if I sold all these cards I would be good. The first card said 7500! Still does if I scan it but was told wasn’t worth nothing. My
Balances said 15320 I wonder how much that true
Balances said 15320 I wonder how much that true
Prices are all over the place
I don’t know if it can’t properly detect the exact variant of each card, but it keeps telling me that some of my cards are $150+ cards. Those same cards are selling for $2 on eBay. Wish I hadn’t paid for this app, but I got my hopes up when I saw how good they priced cards. Lesson learned. Better off being familiar with your cards and finding market values on eBay
1 star
didnt say i had to pay for it then said i did when i down loaded it
Why$
Better apps for free
You have to pay
Come on man 😢
NO👿
I download it this app so I could see how much my sports cards were worth because I have a lot, so I decided to download this app. And it low-key really sucked because every time I would take a picture it would just try to make me subscribe to them, Or try to make me start a free trial. I did everything I could to make that stop but it just sucks too much that I can’t do anything to help it. It only let me take five pictures of my cards. I hate this app. So now I’m deleting it and getting a new app for my sports cards. and it’s also really weird that I can only scan three cards and two I have to pay so much money…👿
If you want to see how much the cards in your closet are for free DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
Is always pushing the paid version with zero option to avoid it
Inaccurate pricing
The pricing for the cards is highly inaccurate
Card pricing
I scan my cards and they ain’t accurate prices they’re over the value of the cards
1 star review
Not letting us use any time we want is a scam.
Don’t bother using
It doesn’t give you accurate pricing. Told me a card was worth $2200 and ended up literally being $5. I’ve scammed over 500 cards with a lot being in the $100-$2000 range just to find out they weren’t. And if you scan the card multiple times, it gives you different prices each time.
Not worth it at all
Better off going with a different app opened a pack and immediately worth less than what I put in they have a no sweat but damn couldn’t even offer me a card worth a dollar more ? It’s clear the app is going to nickel and dime you
Wouldn’t let me cancel
Signed up for the free trial. Once it was over I wouldn’t let me cancel and then I was charged $42.79 for a subscription that I didn’t want. I have reached out to them and have gotten no response
Inaccurate
Incredibly inaccurate and got scammed out of $40 when it said first month 0.99 do not use this app
Not good
This app is not good it does not show the real prices of cards and sucks I recommend eBay 130 point and card ladder
subscription
got charged for a subscription i cancelled
Terrible
Not even close with card values. Don’t waste time or excitement. They waaaay over value everything.
Can we get the year right?
I’ve scanned probably 200 cards and maybe 20 have been correct year. 2023 when the card is a rookie 2025. Make it make sevee
Inaccurate
I wouldn’t take any of the grades or value to the bank. Scanned a card they said was worth $300, I found it on eBay for $4.99
Why do we have to pay
It gave me accurate prices but you have to pay to do more than 10 scans
Collector
Photo taking
sucks, constant rescan
sucks, constant rescan
Quite inaccurate and has missing features
Several issues
1) The app can’t get the year correct for numerous cards which means an inaccurate price.
2) scan the same card multiple times and it’s possible to get different results on condition, value, and rarity. Looks like a glorified guessing game
3) there is no ability to search. The app has 824 football sets for 2025 alone but you have to manually scroll through to find the set you’re interested in.

Ehhh
Only gives you 3 scans before saying you have to buy something
Cost
I don’t think there should be any fees involved. The app would make more money with people browsing then charging a yearly fee. Just saying!
It’s ok
It doesn’t have very accurate prices when you scan the cards, although it is nice to use to know the type of foil that your card has for in case you don’t know but the money part is not accurate.
So if you are a person who wants to know the price of your cards, I would not recommend this app. I would just look it up on Google and see what your cards are worth.

Pricing
Wow some of the prices of my card are crazy high. I only wish I could sell them for the stated value.
