How Card Junkie works

Scan and identify cards

Open the scanner app on your phone, photograph a card and confirm its exact set, collector number, language and printing. Save the card to your collection and maintain its quantity and condition.

The regular scanner independently researches publicly indexed completed card sales. It shows a Card Junkie Market Price (the median), a Recent Sales Average (the arithmetic mean), and dated sales evidence. Both values require at least three suitable, condition- and printing-matched sales after screening outliers. Guests can research without signing in, within usage limits. Manual Lookup can instead show provider reference prices for a printing; those quotes are not condition-specific. Collection reference totals can include both sources and older quotes, so they are not a condition-adjusted appraisal. These estimates are not guaranteed sale prices or complete transaction feeds.

Evaluate a card before grading

Grade Scan uses front-and-back photos to suggest centering, corner and edge scores. Surface and print still require manual inspection. You confirm the vectors before saving a preliminary grade range.

Every account gets two complimentary saved Grade Scan estimates. An active Collector Pro or Seller Pro subscription unlocks further estimates; AI sold-price research remains subject to usage limits.

Purchase from individual sellers

Find a listing, check its condition and printing, place it in your cart and pay through Stripe Checkout. Card Junkie facilitates the transaction; the seller keeps and ships the physical cards.

Each seller order has its own shipping charge. Check the final checkout amount before paying.

List cards and get paid

Create a seller profile, connect Stripe for payouts, select a card from your collection, set its price and shipping, then publish a listing.

Free sellers pay 10% and active Seller Pro accounts pay 7% on the card subtotal only. Buyer-paid shipping is excluded from selling fees. Sellers ship directly to buyers.

Cards or sealed items priced above $20 require tracking. At $100 or more per item, sellers must also ensure insurance covers the full shipment value and confirm coverage when shipping. The thresholds are based on individual item prices, not the total cart.

Optional physical grading

The separate Card Junkie grading submission currently costs $25 per card, excluding shipping and insurance. No digital Grade Scan or Pro subscription is needed. Enter your card details and pay directly; submission instructions and tracking are available after checkout.

After payment, mail your submission to Card Junkie Grading, 416 Rodney Orr Bypass, Robbinsville, NC 28771. Include your submission ID inside the package and enter the inbound tracking number in your Card Junkie grading account.

Photo-assisted estimates are not certified grades. If a card is physically submitted and evaluated, Card Junkie issues its own grade and verification record—not a PSA grade.
