Know what
you hold.

A card-recognition and valuation house: photograph any trading card and SnapCardValue identifies it — name, set, collector number, year — then sets its value against realised sales, entering it in your private catalogue. One photograph, an honest figure, in seconds.

Searching a marketplace shows you asking prices — hopeful numbers, often far above what cards really sell for — and it only works once you already know exactly which printing you hold. SnapCardValue does both halves for you: it identifies the exact card from the photograph, then reports what the market actually pays, with the range beside it.

Three disciplines. Values are grounded in realised market data, not listings. The market's range is shown next to the figure, so you see the spread rather than a single confident-sounding number. And we state plainly what we are not: we do not grade cards from photographs, and our figures are estimates, never appraisals.

All four houses: Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! with live market pricing, and sports cards valued from live eBay listings — clearly marked as estimates, with the listing count shown. Every scan is saved to your catalogue whichever house it belongs to.

No. That is rather the point. The name, set, collector number and year are read from the photograph itself — the same details an expert would check — so the shoebox of unknowns is exactly the collection we built this for.

This is where most mispricing happens, so we are careful: the collector number and release year keep a 1999 Base Set apart from its reprints, a Beta original apart from a Masters reprint, a first edition apart from an unlimited. The card you are holding is the card that gets priced.

Evidence. Alongside the headline figure, we show the spread the market is actually trading in — the low and high for your card's variant, and where several marketplaces are consulted, how many sources stand behind the number. A figure with its evidence is worth more than a figure alone.

Yes — you can use it free on the web today, with free scans and your private catalogue included. A Pro tier with unlimited scans is planned for serious collectors, and the free tier will remain.

On the web now, at app.snapcardvalue.com — nothing to install. Native iOS and Android apps launch in 2026, with the same account and catalogue across all of them.

Twelve: English, 日本語, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Türkçe, Русский, 中文, हिन्दी, العربية and اردو — with right-to-left layouts where the script asks for it. A collection is a worldwide affair; so are we.

Entirely. Every scan is tied to your account and visible to no one else. We do not publish, share or sell collection data, and the photographs you take are used to identify the card, not kept in your collection.

Identification takes seconds from the moment you photograph the card, and frequently catalogued cards return their figure at once. The result appears the moment the reading is done — no queues, no waiting on a person.

Every scan is entered in your catalogue with its identification and date, building the ledger of what you hold. Collection totals and value tracking over time are on the roadmap, on top of the catalogue you are building now.

We do not grade — and we say so, rather than pretending a photograph can do a grader's work. Grading requires the card in hand, by a professional service. What we do is identify precisely and value honestly; if grading is worth it for your card, our figures help you decide.

Cards in slabs can be photographed and identified like any other. Values today reflect the raw market; dedicated graded figures — for the cards worth the slab — are on the roadmap.

Three things: the whole card in frame, decent light, no heavy glare. That is all. The gold frame in the camera shows you exactly where the card should sit.

SnapCardValue is operated from the United Kingdom, built by collectors who wanted an answer that could be trusted rather than a number that flattered. The house standard on this page is the contract: realised sales, exact identification, a private catalogue, honesty about what an estimate is.

Graded-card figures, collection value tracking, sold-price data for sports cards, and a Pro tier for unlimited scanning. The order may shift; the standard won't.
