FAQ
Snap Card questions, answered.
Everything people ask before installing: how scanning works, where the prices come from, what the grades mean, and what the trial covers.
Scanning and prices
- How does Snap Card work?
- Open the app, point your iPhone camera at a card (or pick a photo from your library), and Snap Card identifies the game, set, card number and finish. You then see the raw market price, PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices where a graded market exists, a 90-day price history and recent sales. Add the card to your collection to track its value over time.
- Where do the prices come from?
- Prices are built from recent sales and current listings on the major card marketplaces for each game. Every card shows its recent sales so you can see the comps behind the number rather than trusting a single figure.
- What does the raw price mean?
- Raw means ungraded: a card that has not been slabbed by a grading company, priced as it typically sells in collector condition. It is the number most people want when they ask what a card is worth.
- What do PSA 9 and PSA 10 mean?
- PSA grades cards on a 10-point scale. PSA 10 (Gem Mint) is the top grade and usually commands the highest premium; PSA 9 (Mint) is one step below. Snap Card shows PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices next to the raw price when the card has a graded market, so you can see what grading might add.
- How accurate is the identification?
- Snap Card reads the set, card number and finish from the photo and shows you the match to confirm. If a glare or a sleeve hides part of the card, tilt it slightly and scan again. Prices come from real sales and refresh regularly, but any card price is a snapshot of a moving market.
- Do I need to take the card out of its sleeve?
- No. Cards scan fine sleeved, at an angle, or still in the binder page. Heavy glare on foils is the main thing to avoid.
- Can I see a card's price history?
- Yes. Each card has a 90-day price history and a list of recent sales, and your collection shows its total value day by day.
