CardNugget: card scans with a price trail
An upcoming iPhone app that identifies trading cards on-device, displays dated market-price estimates, and files scans into collections.
- For
- Trading-card collectors sorting binders
- Worth noticing
- The page says identification uses the printed card number, not the name alone, and lists support for 13 printing languages.
Field notes
The page lays out a scan as separate steps: camera framing, perspective correction, OCR, and matching against an embedded catalog, followed by a price lookup using a card identifier. Its example request contains a catalog ID rather than image data, and the page says uncertain matches fall back to printed number, set, and language; unresolved cards are marked not recognised rather than filed. Rapid-mode timings are described as development measurements, and the App Store release is still marked coming soon.
