Pick your mode and enter the price

3

Save and move on

Add an optional note, then tap Clear & Save to History to log the check and start fresh.

💡 You can also Save to Watchlist before checking — great for prepping before a card show

Reading the signal

Good buy — at or below your threshold

You're buying below market. Pull the trigger with confidence.

~

Borderline — between threshold and 95%

Reasonably priced but not a steal. Your call — the app will help you think it through.

Above market — above 95%

Paying at or above market rate. Not always wrong — but worth a moment of reflection.

On borderline or above market signals, the app may ask you a follow-up question. It's optional — but worth answering if you're struggling to decide.

A few tips
📋

Before a card show: Save cards you're hunting to your Watchlist at home with prices pre-filled. At the table, tap Load → enter the vendor price → done in seconds.

At a live auction: Eyeball the average from recent sales and enter one number per platform instead of all 5. Faster when the bidding heats up.

🔀

Check all platforms: Toggle between ALT, SNKRD, and YYT — prices can differ significantly for the same card across markets.

👁️

Collapsed input bar: Once you've entered a price and collapsed the panel, the bar shows your entered price at a glance — so you always know what you're checking against.

👑

Chasing something special: Set a Grail % in Settings for cards you'd stretch your budget for. It activates per check — your regular threshold stays untouched.
