How CardSense AI calculates value

We aggregate recent sold prices across eBay, TCGplayer, and other major marketplaces, filter outliers, and weight more recent sales higher. We then compute separate values for raw, PSA 9, PSA 10, BGS 9.5, and CGC 10 where pop-report data exists. The result is one fair market value plus the grade premiums, side by side.

When you also use the AI pre-grader, the app can multiply the predicted grade by the corresponding price and show your card's true ceiling — what it would sell for at the predicted grade, after submission fees.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the value of a Pokémon card?
The fastest way to check the value of a Pokémon card in 2026 is with an AI-powered value-checker app. Open CardSense AI, point your iPhone camera at the card, and the app instantly identifies the card (set, number, rarity, parallel) and shows the live market price plus PSA 9 and PSA 10 premiums. Manual search on TCGplayer, eBay sold listings, or PriceCharting works but takes 5x longer per card.
What's the most accurate Pokémon card price source?
Live eBay sold-listings are the gold standard for raw Pokémon card prices. CardSense AI aggregates eBay sold data with TCGplayer and other marketplaces and surfaces a single fair market value, plus separate values for PSA 9, PSA 10, and CGC 10. That triangulated value is more reliable than any single source.
Is there a free Pokémon card value checker?
Yes. CardSense AI is free to download and free to scan and price your cards on the free tier. There is no per-scan fee.
Why does my card show different prices in different apps?
Different apps pull from different price sources (eBay sold, TCGplayer market, Cardmarket EU, dealer ask prices). They also handle outliers differently — some show the average, others the median, others a 30-day rolling. CardSense AI uses median + outlier filtering on recent sold prices, which tracks closer to actual realized value.
Can I check Japanese Pokémon card values?
Yes. CardSense AI identifies Japanese Pokémon cards, returns the Japanese and English set context, and surfaces values in your local currency.
Does it work for vintage cards like 1999 Charizard?
Yes. CardSense AI handles vintage Pokémon (Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket era) and lists separate values for first edition, shadowless, and unlimited print runs. For high-value vintage we recommend confirming with at least one second source before selling.
