Football cards
Football card scanner and value checker.
Rookie autographs and numbered parallels set football prices. Card AI suggests the record so you can confirm the printing before pricing it.
Review the rookie printing and parallel.
Use the candidate set and card number to separate rookie-year cards from later releases. Confirm autograph, patch, or parallel details before checking the record in the card price checker.

Rookie year is the dividing line
Football card values concentrate heavily in rookie-year printings, and quarterbacks carry the steepest premium of any position. A player's later cards rarely track their rookie cards, even when the player performs.
Card AI suggests records with the set and card number rather than only the player name. Review those details so rookie printings stay separated from the rest of what you own.
Autographs, patches and parallels are separate markets
An on-card autograph, a patch card and a base parallel of the same player trade independently, sometimes by wide margins. Variant and finish are recorded per card, so each sits in the collection as its own position with its own price history.
Condition and grade kept apart
Raw cards are recorded by condition, graded cards by grading company and grade across PSA, BGS, CGC and SGC. The two are never blended into a single number, because they trade in different markets.

Football card scanner questions.
Can Card AI tell a rookie card from a later printing?
The scan suggests records with the set and card number. Review those details to confirm the rookie-year printing rather than a later card of the same player.
Does it handle autograph and patch cards?
Variant is part of each card record, so autograph, patch and base parallels are stored and valued as separate entries.
Can I scan a box of football cards at once?
Bulk scanning lets you work through a stack in one session and add everything to your collection together.
Can I check football card prices without scanning?
Yes. The football card value scanner and the football card price checker run off the same database, so search works as well as the camera. Cards you add form a football card collection tracker with a running total.
