About
PokeScreener is a web-based tool designed for Pokémon TCG collectors who want fast, accurate card valuations and effortless collection management. At its core is an AI-powered card scanner: point your phone's camera at any Pokémon card and receive instant identification along with real-time pricing pulled directly from TCGPlayer and Cardmarket — two of the largest trading card marketplaces in the world. Beyond scanning, PokeScreener gives users access to a comprehensive catalog covering every Pokémon expansion ever released. Each card listing includes its set, rarity classification (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Double Rare, Ultra Rare, etc.), and illustrator credit. Users can search by card name, browse full sets, or filter results by rarity and card type to quickly locate specific cards. The collection management system lets users build multiple custom collections — organized by set, rarity, favorite artwork, investment focus, or any other criteria. Each collection's total market value updates automatically as prices fluctuate, giving collectors a live snapshot of their portfolio worth. PokeScreener is free to sign up and use, with a PRO upgrade available for power users who need additional features. The platform is entirely independent and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokémon Company. It is ideal for casual collectors wanting quick price checks, competitive players assessing card values, and investors tracking their TCG portfolio over time.
