AAP Companion AppBY AAP COLLECTABLES← Back to AAP Companion AppA better photo. A better match.
Start with one card, then try a small batch. Always check the exact printing before comparing prices.
Get ready
Sign in with your AAP Collectables customer account from Account. New customers can choose Sign up with AAP Collectables and verify their email to create an account. Choose English or Japanese and One card or Photo batch. Allow camera access, or upload a clear photo instead.
Make the details readable
Place the card upright on a plain, contrasting background. Clean the camera lens, use soft daylight and avoid flash. Use the camera outline to position the full card, then tap Take photo. AI identification starts from your captured photo, which is sent securely to OpenAI. Sign in with your AAP Collectables account first. For uploaded or captured photos, choose Edit card borders and drag the four corners to the card edges. Keep the full name, set code and collector number in focus; the bottom-left text matters more than the sleeve’s outer border.
Sleeves and top loaders
Try scanning in the holder first. Move the light or angle the holder slightly until glare clears the name and number. Keep the camera close to parallel so the card stays rectangular. If it remains unclear, try a closer photo or remove the holder only if you can do so safely.
One card in every photo
Choose Photo batch, then photograph one card at a time without closing the camera. You can also upload several individual card photos. Add up to 20 photos, remove or retake any shot, then tap Scan all cards. Keep the tab open while the queue runs. Clear matches confirm automatically. Review uncertain results or choose Not my card to correct an individual match. Whole binder-page scanning has been replaced by this clearer capture method.
Automatic confirmation and corrections
A clear AI name and number that match one catalogue entry are confirmed automatically. One confirmed card uses one scan. If the result is wrong, choose Not my card and select the correct catalogue entry without using another scan. Uncertain or incomplete matches still need review. Confirmation does not authenticate or grade a card.
Compare the right prices
Check sold prices for recent reported sales and the average of up to five disclosed matches. Current listings are asking prices, not completed sales. Compare condition, grading, language, variants and postage. A sampled 30-day sales count is an estimate, not the total market.
Keep your collection safe
Cards and photos save in this browser. In Collection, use Check cloud, then Save to cloud or Load cloud records to work across devices. Cloud sync is manual and excludes photos. Export a JSON backup before clearing browser data or moving to a different app address.
How your allowance works
One confirmed card is one scan, so three confirmed cards use three scans. Failed recognition uses no confirmed scan allowance; AI retry limits apply. Correcting a previously confirmed card uses no additional scan. A new sold-price report uses one report allowance; reopening the same cached result within 12 hours uses no extra report. Monthly allowances reset on the first day of the calendar month at 00:00 UTC. Top-up credits are used afterwards and do not expire.
