Is CollectorBased free?

Yes. The Free plan supports up to 250 cards, unlimited transactions, 75 AI card scans per month, the Dashboard, Income Statement and Transactions ledger, full 2-year price history, graded card stats, live eBay listings on every card, plus full social access. Pro is $9.99/month or $99/year and unlocks unlimited cards and scans, the full reporting suite (Sales, Expense, Tax, Cash Flow, Channel Analysis), drill-downs and PDF/Excel/CSV exports, Show Mode for live shows, backfill tools.

Where does the pricing data come from?

Live TCGPlayer market prices, plus eBay Sold comps and PriceCharting links on every card detail view. Condition-specific prices (NM/LP/MP/HP/DMG) and graded slabs (PSA/BGS/CGC) are supported.

Where can I buy the cards I find?

Card detail views surface live eBay listings and TCGPlayer pricing so you can compare offers in one place, then tap through to complete the purchase on the partner site. We don't process payments ourselves — you buy directly from the source you trust.

Does it work for card shows?

Show Mode is a fullscreen vendor interface built for card shows. Quick sell from your inventory, scan cards with your phone's camera, and a full offline queue + sync engine means every sale, buy, and lookup keeps working when the venue's cell signal drops.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

Add your cards

Scan them with your camera or search by name. We pull the price automatically.

Track your money

Record every sale, purchase, and expense. See your real profit per card and per month.

Find the best price

Live eBay listings and TCGPlayer pricing on every card detail view, so you can compare before you buy or sell. When you go Pro, Show Mode and exports help you sell at shows too.

Real Margin

Sale price isn't profit.

That $80 sale on TCGplayer? After fees, shipping, and what you paid for the card, you actually made $26. CollectorBased tracks every cost so you know your real margin per card — not the sticker price.

That's a 33% margin, not 100%. Multiply this across hundreds of cards a month — you need real numbers.
