Why use a Pokémon card scanner app?
Typing card names and numbers is slow, especially for a binder or a box of bulk. A Pokémon scanner app turns pricing into a few seconds per card: point, scan, see the value. It's also handy mid-trade, when you want a price without typing on a small screen.
The app uses the same market prices as this site: US market estimates from TCGplayer, updated every night. Once you know a card's exact printing, its card page here shows every version, the price history and current listings.
