Collector comparison

PriceCharting alternative for Pokemon card collectors

PriceCharting is price-guide and sale-data led, with a collection tracker layered into a much wider collectibles database. Cardography treats values as useful reference data, but the main product is collection organisation, set progress, and Pokemon-specific indexing.

Import reality

Audit first, then import with confidence

Cardography imports best from CSV files that contain a card name, set name, card number, and quantity. Every external service labels exports differently, so the free audit checks the file before anyone pays.
