Collector Questions, Answered
How much is my Pokémon card worth?
Scan it and see. Card Dex reads your card from a photo and shows its live TCGplayer market price in USD — the same market data dealers use. Value depends on the exact card, set, edition and condition, so a photo scan is the fastest way to an accurate answer.
How do I identify a Pokémon card from a picture?
Upload or snap a photo and the scanner identifies the card — name, set, collector number and rarity — in a few seconds. No typing needed, and if the photo is blurry you can confirm with the name and number lookup.
Is the Pokémon card scanner really free?
Yes — scanning, value checks and the collection binder are all free with no subscription. A free account simply keeps your binder saved between visits.
How many Pokémon cards are there?
Over 20,000 different English-language Pokémon cards have been printed since 1999, across more than 150 sets — and every new expansion adds more. The Card Dex scanner recognises them all, from Base Set to the latest release.
What does the G on a Pokémon card mean?
That letter is the regulation mark, printed near the collector number. It shows which competitive format the card is legal in — G, H and I are the most recent generations. Our card guide explains every mark.
How do I check a Pokémon card’s rarity?
Look at the small symbol in the bottom corner: circle means common, diamond uncommon, star rare. Holos, ex and secret rares go beyond that — our card guide shows every rarity symbol with pictures.
