Inside the app
A Complete Pokémon Card Price Checker in Your Pocket
Everything a collector needs to scan cards, check prices and track value, designed for speed.
How it works
Check a Pokémon Card's Value in 3 Steps
No typing card numbers into search engines. No guessing which variant you have.
Start automatic scanning
Open Cardex, start automatic scanning and keep each card clear in the camera. Cardex identifies the exact card, set and variant as you work through a stack, including full arts, secret rares and alternate versions.
Review market data
Check current raw and graded prices, recent eBay sales and price history. You can also compare marketplace data from eBay, TCGplayer and Cardmarket before you buy or sell.
Add it to your collection
Save scanned cards into binders, follow your collection value over time, track cards you want on the watchlist, and monitor master set completion for every expansion. Sealed products such as booster boxes and Elite Trainer Boxes go into their own collections.
