Single scan
Shoot, check what it read, publish. The camera opens again by itself: you can get through a deck without ever going back to the menu.
Android app for CardTrader sellers
Frame it, shoot it, it’s on sale.
Exchards recognises the card from the photo, finds the right print in the catalogue, suggests the price and publishes it on CardTrader. Then the camera opens again by itself for the next card.

What it does
Bulk scan
Shoot one card after another without waiting: recognitions run in the background, three at a time. At the end a summary shows the ones it didn’t recognise in red and the ones to check in orange. Fix them, drop them, or publish everything in one go.
It doesn’t guess
The AI reads only what is printed on the card: name, number, set code, language. The exact print is then found by the catalogue, with a fixed rule. If the name and the number contradict each other, the match fails and it tells you. An honest “not found” beats a convincing wrong card.
Price health
At startup it compares every card you have on sale with the current offers from other sellers, same card and same condition, and flags the ones that are way off. One tap aligns the price, or you align them all at once.
Valuation from a screenshot
Got a photo of ten cards on the table, maybe lying flat? The app finds them one by one and tells you what they’re worth. It doesn’t list anything for sale: it’s there to help you decide, not to publish.
Your inventory
The cards you have on sale, inside the app. Every listing opens and can be edited: price, quantity, condition, language, reverse. Or taken off sale.
Duplicates merged on their own
Two shots of the same card with the same properties become one listing with quantity 2. But a Near Mint and a Slightly Played stay separate: the comparison runs on every property, not just the name.
Four languages
Italian, English, French and Spanish, for the app and for support.
How it works
- You connect your CardTrader account. You paste your account token once. It stays encrypted on our server, not inside the app.
- You frame the card. Inside the white rectangle. One shot.
- The app recognises it. It reads the name and number, finds the print in the catalogue and looks at what other people are selling it for.
- You confirm. Condition, language, price, quantity: the fields are the ones CardTrader asks for for that card, not a generic form.
- It’s on sale. And the camera is already open on the next one.
What it doesn’t do (said up front)
Automatic recognition that promises 100% is lying to you. Here are the real limits, measured, so you know what to expect:
- Some catalogue entries cannot be told apart from the face of the card: reprints and repackagings whose card is identical to the one in the main set. They get matched to the main print and you have to fix them by hand from the “Print” selector.
- Recognition from the artwork (when the number can’t be read) suggests candidates and shows them to you: it doesn’t decide on its own. On holos the signal is weak.
- The suggested prices come from the current offers on CardTrader. They are an indication, not a professional appraisal, and you decide the price.
- Before publishing, look at what it read. The confirmation isn’t a formality: that’s what it’s there for.
Questions
Do my photos end up somewhere?
The photo of the card is sent to Google Gemini to be read, and we don’t keep it. What stays in your history from that scan is a 220 pixel thumbnail, so you can recognise the row: you delete it whenever you want by clearing the history. The full details are in the privacy policy.
Where does my CardTrader token end up?
Encrypted on our server (AES-256-GCM), not inside the APK: anyone who decompiles an app can read what’s inside the app, so it isn’t in there. You can disconnect it whenever you want, and you can revoke it from your CardTrader panel, which is worth doing, because a CardTrader token in practice never expires.
Do I need a CardTrader account?
Yes. Exchards doesn’t sell anything of its own: it publishes on your account, with your token. Sales, payments and shipping stay a matter between you and CardTrader.
How much does it cost?
The app is free. Every scan costs us a fraction of a cent in AI processing, and that’s why there is a monthly cap per user: it’s a barrier against abuse, not a meter to watch. A heavy user stays well inside it.
Does it work with cards other than Pokémon?
Not today. The catalogue, the expansion atlas and the artwork archive are all built on Pokémon cards.
Why is there no camera on the web?
Because capture is a native component, and the measured accuracy is measured on those frames. Rebuilding it in the browser would mean measuring everything again from scratch. Everything else works on the web: valuation from an image, inventory, price health, history.
How do I delete my account?
In the app settings there’s Delete account: you confirm it’s you (your password, or your email if you signed in with Google) and a 30-day grace period starts, during which signing back in is enough to cancel everything. Once the deadline passes, the data is deleted. Prefer email? Write to info@tiber-valley.com from the address you signed up with. Scan history and the CardTrader connection you can already remove yourself whenever you want, again from the settings.
