Everything an MTG auction buyer needs

🔍

AI-powered card identification

Powered by Claude AI running on AWS. Reads the card name, set code, collector number, foil star, and frame treatment directly from the photo — no typing required.

💲

Live pricing from multiple sources

Checks Scryfall (USD), Good Games, MTGMate, Card Hub, Pro Gamers, and MTG Singles simultaneously so you can bid with confidence. Want a store added to the pricing list? Email the developer and it can be considered.

📦

Your collection, always with you

Import your ManaBox export or add cards manually. The overlay instantly shows how many copies you own and how many other versions you hold.

Foil & version detection

Detects foil from the star separator in the card's stamp, plus frame treatments: normal, extended art, borderless, showcase, etched, and serialised.

🤝

Community-powered scanning

The first person to scan a post pays the AI cost, then gets repaid as others view it. The next few viewers chip in a little extra to pay the scanner back fast — and are themselves refunded back down to just 1 credit as the post gets more views. A popular post ends up costing everyone about the same 1-credit share.

🔒

Private by design

Only the image you right-click is ever sent for analysis. Your browsing is never monitored, no images are stored, and your collection is private to you.

Fair cost sharing across the community

AI scanning isn't free. The first scan of a post costs 30 credits; later viewers pay the scanner back — quickly at first, then a flat 1 credit each — and the early viewers who paid extra are refunded back down to 1 too, so everyone converges on about 1 credit per post.

How the cost-sharing works: The first scanner pays 30 credits to run the AI — they did the work and may have fixed up the result. To pay them back quickly, the next few viewers chip in a little extra — 15, then 7, then 3 credits — after which each new view is a flat 1 credit. As more people view, those early over-payers are refunded back down to 1 credit too, so on a popular post everyone ends up with about the same 1-credit share and any extra goes toward keeping the service online. Re-opening a post you've already viewed is free. Out of credits? Subscribe for a monthly top-up or grab a one-off credit pack.
Want to scan more? Upgrade to a monthly subscription — Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Mythic — for a recurring credit allowance, or grab a one-off credit pack whenever you need a top-up. Manage, change, or cancel anytime from the extension. Payments are handled securely by Stripe.
