The exact printing
Set, collector number or set code, rarity, finish, and language, read from the card. Reprints, parallels, foils, promos, and Japanese prints are matched as their own entries rather than folded into the card name.

One scanner, five catalogs
The same three answers, whichever game the card belongs to
CardLens keeps a separate catalog for each game and ties every value to eBay sales of the exact printing, so a Pokémon holo, a Magic foil, and a One Piece parallel all get the same quality of answer.
A value range with the sales behind it
The range comes from what copies of this printing have been selling for on eBay, wherever the market has them, and you can open those sales. It is a number you can quote in a trade.
A condition grade
A Near Mint to Damaged estimate for raw cards, and a read of the label on PSA, BGS, and CGC slabs, with the sales shown so you can see how graded copies are trading.
Five games, five sets of rules
What the scanner reads in each game
Every game hides its identifiers in a different corner and prices its variants by different rules. The scanner knows each one, and each game has its own page explaining exactly what is read.
Pokémon
Set symbol, collector number, rarity symbol, and finish, with holo, reverse holo, and promo stamps told apart. Vintage tells such as the 1st Edition stamp and the shadowless frame are cataloged as separate printings, and Japanese cards are matched with their own numbering.
Magic: The Gathering
Set code and collector number on modern cards, the collector number and set symbol on cards from 1998 to 2014, and the set symbol, border, corners, and frame on anything older. Traditional, etched, surge, and textured foils, plus borderless, extended-art, and showcase frames, are matched as distinct printings, which keeps a Collector Booster version from being priced as the regular copy.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
The set code under the artwork, the rarity written in the foil, and the 1st Edition text. Secret, Ultimate, Ghost, Starlight, and Quarter Century Secret Rares are read from the foil pattern, so the same set code in three rarities comes back as three prints.
One Piece Card Game
The card code and rarity letter, then the finish, because a parallel, a special parallel, and a manga art share their number with the base print. Leaders, DON!! cards, promos, and Japanese prints are matched as their own entries.
Disney Lorcana
Chapter and card number, foil or non-foil, and the Enchanted prints numbered past the end of each set. Promo cards from D23, Disney100, leagues, challenges, and Set Championships are cataloged separately from booster copies.
One vault for all of it
Every scanned card can be saved to a single collection with its printing, condition grade, and value attached. Reopen a saved card and its range refreshes from newer sales, the wishlist keeps the cards you are chasing in view, and a public collector page shares the cards you want to show.

How it works
Scan any trading card in three steps
Photograph the card
Any of the five games, in a penny sleeve or out of it. Lay it flat on a plain surface in even light and keep every edge in the frame.
Confirm the match
The set, number, rarity, finish, and language appear together. Check the number against the corner of the card and the printing is settled.
Read the value, save the card
The value range and its eBay sales appear with the condition grade. One tap saves the card to the vault, and the collection total updates.
Collect more than one game?
Three habits of collectors who play more than one game
- Keep one vault, not five apps
A Pokémon binder, a Commander collection, and a One Piece deck box are one collection with one total in CardLens. Scan them into the same vault and the number means something.
- Scan at the table
At a trade night or a show, a scan shows what copies of a card have sold for recently, whichever game it belongs to. Trade on the sales, not on memory.
- Reopen before you sell
Reopen a saved card and CardLens refreshes the market evidence behind its range, so the price you quote is built on this month's sales.
Questions
TCG card scanner questions, answered
Is there a card scanner app that works for more than one game?
CardLens scans Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, and Disney Lorcana cards in one app, with a separate catalog for each game and one vault for all of them.
What is the best free card scanner app for trading cards?
The one that matches the exact printing and shows real sales. CardLens reads set, number, rarity, finish, and language from a photo across five games, ties every value range to recent eBay sales of that printing, and adds a condition grade on every scan. It is free on the App Store.
Is the TCG card scanner free?
CardLens is free to download on the App Store. An optional premium subscription adds more to the app; the App Store listing shows the current terms.
Is CardLens available on Android?
Not yet. CardLens is an iPhone app for iOS 17 and later, available on the App Store.
Can it scan cards in other languages?
Japanese printings for Pokémon and One Piece sit in the catalog as their own entries, and the match names the language so a Japanese card is not priced as the English one.
Does the scanner handle graded cards?
It reads the label on PSA, BGS, and CGC slabs, records the grade with the match, and shows the sales behind the range, whichever game the card belongs to.
