FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which sports are supported?

Baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and soccer cards from every major manufacturer — Topps, Panini, Bowman, Upper Deck, Prizm, Donruss, and more. Vintage runs as far back as the 1950s.

How accurate is the pricing?

Values come from completed sales data — eBay, COMC, and major auction houses — not asking prices. We weight by recency and remove outliers. Confidence scores ship with every quote.

Do I need an internet connection?

Scanning and pricing require a connection. Your binder syncs in the background and is fully browsable offline once cached — useful at card shows with patchy signal.

Can I export my collection?

Yes. Export to CSV or PDF on any paid plan. Your data is yours — take it to insurance, an accountant, or another tool whenever you want.

Is my data private?

Your collection is private by default. We never sell data, never show your collection to other users, and scan images are processed and discarded — only the resulting card metadata is stored.

How do I cancel?

Manage or cancel from Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current period; you keep access until then.
