Hold a Pokémon card up to a webcam and looka identifies it, then compares sold listings with the cheapest current asking price.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

The page separates historical sales from current asking prices: a sample Ninetales result shows a $36.81 median across 204 sold listings alongside an 18-item live inventory count. It names eBay, Goldin, and PWCC for sold data, while current asks come from eBay; TCGplayer and Cardmarket appear as additional price-point sources. The stated workflow also includes an OBS browser source for displaying card values during streams.
