What every scan gives you
One screen, four answers — the things you actually need before listing on eBay, cracking a box, or shipping a card to PSA.
AI identification
Set, rarity stamp, edition (1st Edition / Shadowless / No-Rarity), language, and holo pattern — all from one phone shot.
Real eBay sold comps
Median raw, PSA 9, and PSA 10 prices from completed sales. Not list price, not AI guesswork — the price the last buyer actually paid.
Calibrated PSA-style sub-grade
Separate scores for centering, corners, edges, and surface — with the visible evidence behind every number. Decide before you ship $25 to PSA.
Japanese print runs
Back-of-card generation, No-Rarity marks, the JP market queried separately. The moat most card scanners don't have.

Frequently asked
Can an iPhone really identify trading cards accurately?
Yes. Card Snap reads the set symbol, rarity stamp, language, edition (1st Edition / Shadowless / No-Rarity), and surface artwork to match a card against current eBay sold comps. Best results: take one shot of the front, one of the back if you suspect a Japanese print run, and one close-up of any holo pattern.
Does it work on Japanese Pokémon cards?
Yes — Japanese print-run support is the moat. Pawn handles every back-of-card generation (early-90s, e-Card era, mid-era, current era), reads No-Rarity marks, and queries the Japanese eBay market separately so the comps aren't diluted by English-print sales.
How accurate is the PSA-style grade?
The AI returns a calibrated sub-grade for centering, corners, edges, and surface — with an honest range and the visible evidence behind every number. It is not a substitute for a real PSA, BGS, or CGC slab, but it is reliable enough to decide whether sending a card to PSA is worth the grading fee.
Is the eBay sold price real, or an AI estimate?
Real. The price ranges come from public eBay sold-listings (median raw, PSA 9, PSA 10), refreshed continuously. AI is only used to identify which card you're holding — the dollar values are completed sales.
Does it detect fake or reprinted cards?
Card Snap flags suspected counterfeits when the print quality, font kerning, holo pattern, or back design does not match the legitimate print run for that set. Treat the flag as a prompt to verify in person — not a final verdict.
Is it free?
Yes — free to download with 1 free scan per day on the free tier. Pro unlocks unlimited scans, raw vs PSA 9 vs PSA 10 splits, the worth-grading calculator, bulk-scan haul mode, and CSV/PDF export. $4.99/week or $24.99/year.
What's the difference between Pawn and other card scanners?
Two things. First, calibrated grading with sub-scores and visible evidence — not a single AI guess. Second, end-to-end Japanese print-run recognition. Most scanners only read English. Pawn reads both, and queries the JP market separately.
Can it help me decide whether to grade a card?
Yes. The worth-grading calculator compares the predicted PSA 10 sale price against the raw sale price, subtracts PSA grading fees, and tells you the break-even — before you ship $25 in fees per card.
