# CardLens Full LLM Context

This file provides a compact, high-signal Markdown version of the public CardLens website for AI assistants, search retrieval systems, and other tools that need product context without parsing page chrome.

## Identity

CardLens is an iOS application for trading card game (TCG) collectors. The app scans one card to return an exact catalog match, an AI value range backed by live eBay market evidence, and a condition grade, then saves the card to a collection.

Canonical website: https://cardlens.app/

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6778003847

Developer: Eversight Studio LLC

Support email: hello@eversight.io

App Store ID: 6778003847

Supported games: Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, and more over time.

Primary audience: trading card collectors who want a fast, focused utility for identifying, valuing, grading, and organizing cards.

Current workflow: user-submitted card photos, image-analysis catalog matching, an AI value range, a condition grade estimate, and current eBay marketplace results returned through the eBay API where available.

## Positioning

CardLens is built for collectors who want real answers, not guesswork. Photograph one card and CardLens cuts it out, identifies the exact catalog card, returns a value range with market evidence, and estimates a condition grade. The app keeps the catalog match, value range, and condition grade separate so collectors understand the context behind a card's worth instead of seeing only a number.

CardLens does not operate as a historical sales database, sold-listing archive, rarity database, professional appraisal service, grading service, authentication certificate, insurance valuation tool, or official product of any game publisher.

## Product workflow

1. Scan: The collector takes one clear photo of a card; CardLens crops it to a clean, transparent cutout.
2. Match: CardLens identifies the exact catalog card, including set, card number, rarity, and printing.
3. Value: CardLens returns an AI value range backed by current eBay market evidence where available and estimates a condition grade.
4. Collect: The collector saves the card to a collection vault and can add cards to a wishlist.

## Key features

- TCG card identification from a single user-submitted photo.

## Public pages

### Homepage

URL: https://cardlens.app/

Purpose: Explain what CardLens does and send users to the App Store.

Main message: "Scan any card. Know its value, grade, and market."

Important sections:
- App overview for trading card collectors across Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Disney Lorcana.

### Public Collector Profile Pages

URL pattern: https://cardlens.app/{handle}

Purpose: Give each public collector a shareable, server-rendered profile page and route collectors into CardLens for scanning, saving, collection management, and wishlist workflows.

Public profile fields:
- Display name.
- Handle.
- Avatar when available.
- Bio when available.
- External link when provided by the collector.
- Public collection count.
- Featured cards selected by the collector, with condition grade and value where shared.
- Public wishlist cards.

App-only fields:
- Private scans and saved results.
- Private collection items and private wishlist notes.
- Full app collection management.

Implementation notes:
- Profile pages are server-rendered by Next.js on Vercel.
- EverCore is called only from server code via `GET /web/tcg/users/{handle}`; the browser never receives the Web read key.
- Only signed, non-guest, public collector profiles are shown; guest and private profiles return 404.

SEO notes:
- Each profile page has a canonical `/{handle}` URL.
- Profile pages include ProfilePage, Person, and breadcrumb structured data.

Support FAQ:

Question: What is CardLens and how does it work?

Answer: CardLens is an iOS app for trading card collectors. Photograph one card and CardLens cuts it out, identifies the exact catalog card, returns an AI value range backed by live eBay market evidence, estimates a condition grade, and saves the card to your collection.

Question: Which trading card games does CardLens support?

Answer: CardLens supports Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, the One Piece Card Game, and Disney Lorcana, with more games added over time.

Question: How do I get the best scan result?

Answer: Place the card on a plain surface, use bright even lighting, keep the whole card in frame, and avoid glare. Retake the photo if the card name, number, set, or artwork is blurry.

Question: Where do value ranges come from?

Answer: CardLens combines an AI value range with current eBay marketplace listing and sales results returned through the eBay API where available. CardLens does not provide a guaranteed valuation, sold-listing archive, or appraisal service.

Question: How accurate are the value ranges?

Answer: Value ranges are research guidance, not exact resale prices. Market activity, condition, rarity, grading, and demand can change quickly, so use CardLens as support before a trade, purchase, or sale.

Question: What does the condition grade mean?

Answer: CardLens estimates a condition grade for raw cards (for example, Near Mint) and reads slab grades (for example, PSA 10) where applicable. The estimate is guidance and is not a substitute for professional grading.

Question: What can I save to my collection?

Answer: You can save scanned cards to your collection vault so each card stays connected to its catalog match, condition grade, value, and your own notes. You can also add cards to a wishlist.

Question: Can I use CardLens as an authentication certificate?

Answer: No. CardLens is a research and collection utility. For high-value purchases, resale, insurance, grading, or authenticity disputes, consult a qualified expert or grading service.

## App Store context
