01
Exact card
Name, set symbol, and collector number. The same character across sets varies wildly in value.
Practical guide
What is my trading card worth?
Two cards from the same set can have very different asking prices. Set, rarity, printing, condition, recent comparable sales, and current demand all matter. Here is a practical way to compare those signals without treating one listing as a guaranteed value.

What to look for
What sets a card’s value
Learn these four signals and you can estimate almost any card before you scan it.
02
Rarity
Common, rare, holo, secret, or promo — printed on most modern cards and a primary value driver.
03
Special printings
First-edition stamps, shadowless prints, and misprints can multiply value over the standard version.
04
Condition
Centering, corners, edges, surface. Near-mint vs played can be a 10× price difference.
Step by step
How to find out what a card is worth
- 01
Identify the exact card
Match name, set symbol, and collector number — small differences change the price a lot.
- 02
Check the rarity
Rarity is printed on most modern cards and is one of the biggest value factors.
- 03
Look for special printings
First-edition, shadowless, and error cards command premiums over standard versions.
- 04
Grade the condition
Assess centering, corners, edges, and surface — condition can swing value enormously.
- 05
Compare current listings and sales
Use the exact card details to compare several current listings and, where available, recent completed sales. Asking prices alone do not establish market value.

Common questions
How do I find out what my trading card is worth?
Identify the exact name, set, collector number, printing, and condition. Then compare several current listings and recent completed sales where available. One seller’s asking price is not a guaranteed value.
Can one scanner identify every trading card?
No scanner should be assumed to cover every game, language, printing, or altered card. Check the app’s documented catalog and verify any suggested match against the card itself.
Why can two cards from the same set have different values?
Rarity, foil or special printing, edition, condition, grading, language, and current demand can all change the market. Confirm the exact variant before comparing prices.
Should I get my card graded?
Consider the likely ungraded value, condition, grading fees, turnaround time, and recent graded sales. For many common or damaged cards, the fee can exceed the potential gain.
