FoilScan - Showcase Project

FoilScan is a free Pokémon card scanner and price checker that runs in your phone's web browser. There is no app to install and no account to create: open foilscan.online, take a photo of a card (or upload one) and FoilScan tells you which printing it is and what it is worth today. Identify the exact printing. FoilScan reads the card's name, set code and collector number and matches it against a catalog of every English and Japanese Pokémon set, about 37,000 printings. Every scan ends with a confirm step: you see the set, the number and the card image, and you either confirm it or pick the right printing from a list of every card with that name. Nothing is saved on a guess. In our own test on real phone photos, the first match was the exact printing for 88 to 92 % of cards, and the right card was in the confirm list almost every time. US and EU prices side by side. Each card page shows the TCGplayer market price in US dollars and the Cardmarket trend price in euros, for every finish (normal, holo, reverse holo, 1st edition where it exists), refreshed daily. FoilScan also records each day's price itself, so card pages build up their own price history. Your collection, totalled. Confirmed cards go into a binder that adds up your collection's value, by set and over time. The binder works without an account in your browser; sign in with Google or an email link to sync it across devices. Set price lists. Every set has a page with the full card list, rarity, numbers and prices, the most valuable cards, chase cards and secret rares, and price movers. New sets are listed on release week. Honest by design. FoilScan does not grade cards or guess their condition; prices are for near-mint singles, with their source and date. Photos are read once and never stored. Free, with an optional Pro plan. Scanning is free: 10 scans a day without an account, plus unlimited price pages, set lists and the binder. Pro (US$4.99 a month or US$39 a year) removes the daily limit and adds batch scanning of a stack, holo-finish detection, full price history, price alerts by email, CSV export and multiple binders. FoilScan is made for collectors, parents of young collectors and anyone who found an old binder and wants to know what is in it. It is not affiliated with The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK or Wizards of the Coast.
