📖 How To Use

Scan smarter,
get better results.

How the scanner works, how to upload a whole stack at once, and the habits that get you the most accurate identification and price.

Step by step

Scanning a card

  1. 1

    Open the scanner

    Click 📷 Scan Card at the top right. It opens over your collection, so you never lose your place.

  2. 2

    Choose the set Optional

    If you know it, pick the set from the Card Set dropdown, or choose Other and type it. Not sure? Leave it on Unknown.

  3. 3

    Add the front

    Use the live camera and line the card up inside the on-screen frame, take a photo, or choose an image you already have.

  4. 4

    Add the back Recommended

    The back is where the year, card number and set usually are, so it's the single biggest accuracy boost. Either side can be replaced or removed before you upload.

  5. 5

    Graded? Public?

    Turn on Card is Graded and enter the grade (e.g. PSA 10, BGS 9.5) so it's priced against graded sales. Turn on Make this card public to show it in the Community Collection.

  6. 6

    Upload & Analyze

    The card is identified and priced in the background. Scan the next one straight away; each card appears in My Collection within moments.

  7. 7

    Check the result

    A card marked Needs review wasn't read with full confidence. Open it, correct anything in Card Details, then click Looks right — confirm & reprice. Any field on any card can be edited later.

For big collections

Bulk Upload

💎 Collector plan & above

Bulk Upload is available on the Collector and Dealer plans. It's built for flatbed scanners: upload a whole folder of scans in one go instead of photographing cards one at a time.

1Scan each card

One card per file, with both sides in a single image (front and back side by side), or as a two-page TIFF with the front first.

2Put them in one folder

JPG, PNG, WEBP, BMP and TIFF files are all picked up. Anything else in the folder is skipped.

3Set the batch options

Click 📦 Bulk Upload at the top right. The set, grade and public settings apply to every card in the batch, so group cards that share them.

4Upload and let it run

Choose the folder, or drag it into the window, and click Upload All Cards. Keep the window open until the progress bar finishes; each file is listed as it succeeds or fails.

Each card in a batch counts as one scan, so check you have enough left for the whole folder before you start.

Sell from your collection

Listing on eBay

🔒 Paid plans only

List on eBay is a paid feature, available on the Pro, Collector and Dealer plans. It's not included in the Free plan. Any card CardMint has identified can go up for sale on your own eBay account in a few clicks, with the title, item specifics, grade and photos already filled in.

  1. 1

    Open a card and click List on eBay

    Open any identified card in My Collection and click 🏷️ List on eBay. On the Free plan the button shows a PRO tag and takes you to the plans instead.

  2. 2

    Connect your eBay account First time only

    Click Connect eBay account and sign in on eBay's own page. CardMint never sees your eBay password, and you can disconnect at any time from the Listed on eBay tab.

  3. 3

    Choose your policies First time only

    Pick the shipping, payment and return policies from your eBay account, and the ZIP code you ship from. No policies yet? Click Create these policies and CardMint sets up simple ones for you.

  4. 4

    Check the title, price and condition

    The title and item specifics come from the card's details, and the price starts at its CardMint value. Change anything you like. For a raw card, pick the condition that honestly describes it; a graded card lists with its grade.

  5. 5

    List it

    Click List on eBay for $…. It goes live as a Buy It Now listing, quantity 1, and you get a link to see it on eBay.

  6. 6

    Manage it in Listed on eBay

    Every listing appears in the 🏷️ Listed on eBay tab as Active, Sold or Ended. End a listing early from there, and sold cards are marked for you. The card stays in My Collection the whole time.

Best practices

How to photograph a card

💡Use even lighting

Daylight works best. Avoid flash, harsh overhead light, and your own shadow across the card.

🎯Fill the frame

Get close enough that the card takes up most of the photo, borders and all.

📐Shoot straight-on

Hold the camera directly above the card. Angled photos distort the fine print.

✨Kill the glare

Chrome, Prizm and refractors reflect. Tilt slightly until the glare is off the name and number.

🔍Keep it sharp

Tap the card on screen to focus before you shoot. Blur is the top cause of a misread year.

🔙Always add the back

Many sets only print the year and card number on the back.

Troubleshooting

When something's not right

The card was identified wrong

Open the card and correct the fields in Card Details; the price is recalculated from what you confirm. Re-scanning with the back added, better light and the set chosen usually fixes it for similar cards.

The year or card number is off

Many modern sets don't print the year on the front. Without the back, it has to be inferred from design cues, which is where most errors happen.

Photos come out dark or yellow

Tungsten bulbs and dim rooms tint the photo and hide fine print. Scan near a window or under a daylight lamp.

Glare from top-loaders and one-touches

Penny sleeves are fine. Harder cases often throw a glare band across the card; angle it until the glare moves off the printed area.

An upload failed

Very blurry, dark or overexposed photos are rejected before they're analyzed, with a note on what to fix. If you've used your plan's scans, the scanner offers to buy more.

Bulk Upload asks me to upgrade

Bulk Upload is part of the Collector and Dealer plans. On Free or Pro, scan cards one at a time with the scanner, or upgrade from the Pricing page.

⚠️

A note on accuracy

Identification is powered by AI and is not 100% perfect. Years, parallels and card numbers are the fields most often misread. Values are estimates from market data, not professional appraisals, so check high-value cards against grading services and recent sold comps before buying, selling or insuring them.

How we price your cards

Prices on CardMint are estimated from active listings — what sellers are currently asking — pulled from eBay's official Browse API. We do not scrape eBay, and their API does not make completed-sale prices freely available, so we cannot read what a card actually sold for.

That matters: an asking price is what someone hopes to get, not what a buyer paid. Cards often sell for less. Treat our figure as a starting point, not an appraisal.

So every card carries a “Verify on eBay” link that opens that exact card's sold and completed listings. That page shows real transaction prices. For anything you are buying, selling or insuring, check it — it is the number that counts, and it is two clicks away.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this the same as other apps called CardMint?

No. Other apps and companies use the name CardMint, including other card scanners, and they aren't connected to us. This CardMint is at cardmint.co. We don't have an app in the Apple App Store or Google Play (add CardMint to your home screen from the website instead), our support address is customer_support@cardmint.co, and we'll never ask for your password by email or text. More on how to tell it's us.

How accurate is the card identification?

We use Claude Vision in two passes — first to read the card, then to verify against active eBay listings. Identification is highly accurate for modern cards (2010+) and continues to improve.

Where do prices come from?

We pull data directly from eBay sold listings and active listings via the official eBay API. When data is sparse, we fall back to an AI estimate (clearly labeled).

Can I edit a card after it's scanned?

Yes — you can edit every field, replace the front or back image, and re-run pricing at any time. You can only edit cards you own.

Can other people see my cards?

Cards you mark as public appear on the shared "Card Collection" tab so the community can browse them. Only you (or an admin) can edit or delete your cards.

How do I contact CardMint?

Signed in, use the 💬 Questions & Feedback button in the bottom corner and we'll reply right there. Anyone can also email customer_support@cardmint.co, including if you can't sign in or have a billing question.

How do I upgrade my account?

      How ranking works: only public cards from members on a paid plan are ranked, valued at the market price CardMint found from eBay listings, so a price typed in by hand or an AI estimate doesn't count. Cards marked "Needs review" join once their owner confirms them. CardMint may remove a card that doesn't look genuine.
