Company profile

researched Aug 2026

CollX (pronounced "collects") operates a mobile app that lets collectors photograph a trading card and have it identified against a database of more than 20 million cards, then returns an average market value calculated from recent and historical auction and marketplace transactions. Users add identified cards to a digital collection, view it as a grid, list or set, filter and sort by attributes such as value, year and team, and track total portfolio value over time. Coverage spans sports categories (baseball, basketball, football, wrestling, hockey, soccer, MMA, boxing, golf, tennis), trading card games (Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Flesh & Blood, One Piece, Disney Lorcana) and non-sport sets such as Garbage Pail Kids, Marvel and Star Wars. The system matches raw cards as well as graded, parallel and reprint versions.

Beyond valuation, CollX runs a peer-to-peer marketplace where collectors message each other, make offers, and bundle multiple cards into a single negotiated transaction through a Deals interface. Sellers get shipping options including a tracked CollX Envelope from $0.75, bulk discounts, offer acceptance and vacation mode; buyer and seller funds are held under CollX Protect until cards arrive. A CollX Pro subscription ($9.99/month or $99.99/year) unlocks unlimited collection size (versus a sub-500-item cap for free users), 500 monthly Scan+ credits with added AI text and image recognition, unlimited Stacks, up to 10 listing photos, a $10 monthly marketplace credit, printable and exportable set checklists, CSV collection export, Easy Price bulk repricing, group chat, "who viewed my card," a great-value search filter, card location tags, featured listings, priority chat support, iOS family sharing, partner discounts, and a 90-day Card Dealer Pro trial. CollX AI, built on OpenAI models, answers hobby questions and offers coaching on pricing, grading decisions and selling.

For professional sellers and card shops, Card Dealer Pro — a company CollX acquired in 2022 — is desktop software for rapid bulk scanning, inventory creation and multi-channel listing across marketplaces. CollX also sells physical goods through the CollX Shop, including sealed boxes and packs, supplies such as top loaders, sleeves, holders and cases, branded apparel, and RipKit, a monthly subscription box containing Topps and Panini packs, supplies and a storage box.
