Card Scanner
Scan a binder into a collection or local trade list
On this page
What it does
Point your iPhone at a physical card. Lootstack identifies the exact printing, the language on the card, and the foil finish, even through a sleeve. See a TCGPlayer USD or Cardmarket EUR price, then add the card to a collection or local trade list.
Each hit can lock
- The exact printing
- The language on the card
- The foil finish
- TCGPlayer prices in US dollars or Cardmarket prices in euros
- A destination: your collection or a trade list
Sleeves stay on
You do not need to unsleeve a stack or stage a perfect shot. Keep flipping, then review the batch and correct a printing, language, finish, or condition without restarting.How to scan
Scanning happens in the Lootstack app for iPhone, available from the App Store. The website Scanner page explains the mobile scanner; it does not open a camera in your browser. Collection on the web still has Add Card and Import from File.
On your phone
- 1Open the Lootstack app and point the camera at a card
- 2Wait for it to lock printing, language, and foil
- 3Review the batch and tap anything that needs a correction
- 4Send keepers to your collection and extras to a Haves list
After you scan
This is not a scan-to-sell marketplace. Put the cards on a have list, match nearby players at shared stores, and build a trade with cards, optional cash, and a meetup.
Typical path
- 1Scan a binder or box on your phone
- 2Review the batch and fix anything that needs a tap
- 3Send extras to a Haves list, keepers to your collection
- 4Match traders at your stores or across your city
- 5Start the trade in Inbox and meet at game night
Availability
Which games can be scanned is the live list on the Scanner page, not a hardcoded three-game snapshot. Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh are not product scan games.
The updated scanner is available now in the Lootstack app for iPhone.
