01How it works

How the Pokémon card scanner works

How to scan Pokémon cards for value: three steps, about as long as it takes to put the card down. There is no shutter button and nothing to type.

  1. STEP 1

    Point your camera

    Open Scan and hold a card in view. FoilGem finds the edges of the card by itself.

  2. STEP 2

    It names the exact card

    The app matches the artwork and reads the card number on your phone, so two printings with the same name are not mixed up.

  3. STEP 3

    See the price, keep scanning

    The market price shows at once and the card drops into your tray. Scan the next card and the total adds up.

03Card value

How much is my Pokémon card worth?

Wondering what your Pokémon card is worth? Four things decide it. FoilGem works out the first two for you and shows you the market for the rest.

  1. The exact printing

    Name, set and card number. A Charizard ex from the 151 set is a different card from a Charizard ex in Obsidian Flames, and the prices are far apart.

  2. The finish

    Normal, reverse holo and holo copies of the same card can sell for very different amounts.

  3. The condition

    Prices are for raw, ungraded cards. Worn cards sell for less. FoilGem does not price graded slabs.

  4. The market today

    Pokémon card values move. FoilGem refreshes TCGplayer and Cardmarket prices every day.

05FAQ

Pokémon card scanner app: common questions

Is there a free app to scan Pokémon cards?

Yes. FoilGem is a Pokémon card scanner and price checker app that is free to download, and your first 5 priced scans are free. After that you can keep scanning and the app still names each card, but prices are locked until you upgrade to Pro.

How do I check a Pokémon card's value?

Open Scan and point the camera at the card. FoilGem names it and shows the market price. You can also search by card name or number. Open the card to compare TCGplayer and Cardmarket prices for each finish.

Where can I check Pokémon card prices?

In FoilGem every card shows prices from TCGplayer in US dollars and Cardmarket in euros. The app refreshes them every day. They are market estimates for raw cards, so the price of your own copy depends on its condition.

Which cards can it scan?

English Pokémon TCG cards: 21,256 cards across 205 sets, from Base Set to the newest releases. It does not scan other card games.

How do I tell if a Pokémon card is rare?

Look at the rarity symbol and the card number at the bottom of the card. A number higher than the set total, such as 199/165, marks a secret or special illustration card. FoilGem shows the rarity and every finish of a card after a scan.

Are my Pokémon cards worth anything?

It depends on the card. Many common cards sell for less than a dollar, while rare, holo and special illustration cards can be worth far more. The quickest way to find out is to scan the card and read its market price.

Can I use the Pokémon card value scanner online?

FoilGem is a phone app, not a website tool. The scanner needs your phone camera, so install the app from Google Play and scan your cards there.

Does FoilGem show graded card prices?

No. Prices are for raw, ungraded cards. You can record a card's grading company, grade and certificate number in your collection.

Is there an iPhone version?

FoilGem is on Google Play for Android today. The iPhone version is coming soon.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

No account. Your collection stays on your phone. Scanning runs on the device, and the card list and latest downloaded prices are stored in the app. Card pictures and daily price updates need a connection.

Is FoilGem an official Pokémon app?

No. FoilGem is an independent TCG card scanner. It is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Creatures Inc. or GAME FREAK Inc.
