A camera-based scanner that identifies trading cards by set, collector number, and variant, then shows an estimated market value.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-21 issue.

Why it surfaced

CardBard promises ranked alternatives when a scan is uncertain, a visible source and timestamp for every price, and a real “wrong card?” correction path. Its unusually plainspoken business model is part of the pitch: unlimited free scanning, one annual plan, no ads or marketplace, and a roadmap that refuses to invent dates for its one-developer build.
