Founding Collector waitlist is open
The collector community for trading cards
KARD is where card collectors scan, show off, buy, sell and trade. Point your camera at a card, add it to your collection, share it with other collectors, and trade real cards with people who care about them as much as you do.
Free to join. Collectors must be 18 or older.
Card artwork, prices and stats shown on this page are illustrative samples, not real listings.
How KARD works

Use your camera to identify a card and add it to your collection in seconds, with its current market value.
Collect
Build your catalog card by card. Raw or graded, sports or Pokémon, every card lives in one collection with its value.
Showcase
Build showcases of your best cards and share them with the community in the feed.
Trade
List cards for sale or propose a card-for-card trade. Payments run through Stripe and shipping labels through Shippo.
