About this app

StarBrain turns your phone into an instant sports card identifier and price checker. Point your camera at any card and get the player, set, year, variation and current market value in seconds.

Whether you are sorting a box of childhood cards, checking a fresh pack pull, or pricing a binder before a trade, StarBrain gives you a clear answer without hours of manual searching.

IDENTIFY ANY SPORTS CARD IN SECONDS
Snap a photo and the AI reads the photo, layout, team, name plate and card text to identify the player, the set, the year and the parallel, and shows a match accuracy score. No typing, no set codes to memorise.

KNOW WHAT IT IS WORTH
Every scan comes with an estimated market price based on recent comparable sales, plus a price chart over 30, 90 and 365 days so you can see whether a card is climbing or cooling before you buy or sell.

UNDERSTAND GRADE POTENTIAL BEFORE YOU SUBMIT
Get AI-assisted insight on centering, edges, corners and surface, mapped to the familiar 1 to 10 collector grading scale, so you know roughly where a raw card might land before you pay for grading.

TRACK YOUR SPORTS CARD PORTFOLIO
Save every scan into custom binders for rookies, trades, keepers and team sets. Follow your total portfolio value over time, see your most valuable finds, and sort by value, year or date added.

COVERS THE SPORTS YOU COLLECT
Baseball, basketball, football and hockey, from vintage through to modern rookies, parallels and inserts.

BROWSE PLAYERS, SETS AND KEY CARDS
Explore the catalog by sport, player or set to discover valuable rookies, key cards and current market movers without scanning anything.

ASK STARBRAIN ANYTHING
Not sure what you are holding? Answer a few guided questions and the assistant narrows it down for you. You can also ask the AI assistant about sets, print runs, parallels, storage and card care.

ENHANCE YOUR CARD PHOTOS
The built-in AI photo enhancer cleans up glare, blur and poor lighting so sleeved, refractor and holo cards scan reliably and look sharp when you list or share them.

LEARN FROM THE COLLECTOR LIBRARY
Browse hundreds of guides on grading, market analysis, set reviews, storage and protection, spotting fakes, and collecting strategy, written for collectors at every level.

SPOT FAKES AND RESEALS BEFORE YOU BUY
Learn the visual, texture and light tests experienced collectors use to tell genuine cards apart from counterfeits and reprints.

Prices and grade estimates are informational estimates, not appraisals or investment advice. Always check a card in hand before you buy or sell.
