Ludex

Ludex is a mobile app for sports card and trading card game collectors who want to know what their cards are worth without manually researching every one. You point your phone camera at a card, the app identifies it, and it returns a value based on real-time data drawn from actual completed sales rather than optimistic asking prices. The company describes it as the fastest and most accurate scanner for sports and trading cards, and it has been ranked highly in the hobby app category with 4M+ collectors and over 2 million cards scanned.,Beyond scanning, Ludex acts as a collection management tool. Every card you scan is added to an organised library, so a binder full of cards from the 1960s through to today becomes a searchable inventory. When you want to sell, the app builds a marketplace listing from the scanned data — you review it and publish to your preferred platform. Hobby Trends adds a data layer with insight into which players are selling most on eBay and which sets are trending, which is useful both for buying and for deciding what to grade or hold.,Ludex also runs a Super Search feature that lets you search across marketplaces at once, and publishes an active blog covering card checklists, release dates, product news and hobby commentary. The app is free to download with unlimited scans at no cost and no credit card required, and a paid membership unlocks additional collection and trend features. Reviews from long-time collectors highlight the accuracy on first scan and the relief of finally cataloguing large collections without manual data entry.
