Buylist Scanner Prices Pokémon Card Collections in Pesos from Phone Photos
A developer built Buylist Scanner, a tool that lets small trading card shops photograph cards with a phone and get an instant offer for a whole collection. The system matches each card against an English catalog of about 20,000 cards, reads set codes and collector numbers to tell reprints apart, and pulls TCGplayer market prices. It converts those prices to pesos at Banxico's daily rate and applies the shop's condition factors for cash or store credit. During an October test in Mexicali and a demo at a local card expo, it identified dozens of cards per session, though some very new cards lacked prices and a few photos were rejected. Two shops expressed interest in trials, and the developer has not yet determined whether they would pay or how much.
