Collector Nation

Collector Nation is the trading card hobby in one app: the day's hobby news, the podcasts worth your time, card values you can check, a scanner that knows which card you are holding, and a real card shop.

Open it in the morning for what happened overnight. Open it at a card show to check a price. Open it on the couch to sort your collection. Same app either way.


Media: the hobby, every day

The app opens on Media. Original reporting and analysis from the Collector Nation newsroom covers new releases, checklists and box configurations as they land, and what a price move actually means. Listen to the Collector Nation Podcast and dozens of other hobby shows, watch video and short Reels, and follow a release calendar that shows what is coming next and what to chase.


Scan a card, and it knows which card it is

Point your camera at a card and it lands in your collection with the identity already sorted: set, number, parallel and grade. Not just "Charizard," but which Charizard: the right printing, the right parallel, the right slab. Track what you own, search a collection of any size, and see your total at a glance.


Card values you can check yourself

A single listing is a rumor. CompIQ reads real completed sales and filters out the mismatched, mislabeled and wrong-parallel listings that make quick price lookups unreliable, then shows you the sales behind every value so you can check the work. It knows a numbered parallel is not the base card, a Pokémon Center box is not the standard one, and a PSA 10 is not a raw copy.


Ask out loud

Say the card, hear the value. Chase IQ turns a spoken card description into a market read, with no typing and no menus while you are holding a card in one hand and your phone in the other. Ask what a 2024 Prizm Silver Wembanyama PSA 10 is worth and get an answer you can act on.


The shop, and selling your cards

Browse singles and sealed product from Collector Station, a real card shop in Easley, South Carolina. No account needed to look around. Standing in the store? Point your phone at anything on the shelf for a current value. Ready to move cards instead? Get an offer, accept it, and follow it through to payout.


Chase Packs, built from real inventory

Buy a digital pack and open it in the app. Every card in a pack's pool is a real, physical card the shop holds, and the odds for every tier are shown before you buy. The card you pull is yours: keep it in your vault, have it shipped to you, or sell it back to the shop from the reveal screen. Pack sales are final.
