Pocket Card Show

Pocket Card Show — Keep Your Cards Safe. Keep Your Collection With You. Every collector wants to protect the cards they love. Autographs, surfaces, corners, and edges can be affected by sunlight, UV exposure, humidity, dust, or accidental damage. Ironically, the more valuable a card becomes, the less often we feel comfortable taking it out. Some of our favorite cards spend years inside storage boxes, cabinets, or safes. That's why I created Pocket Card Show: keep your physical cards protected while still enjoying and sharing your collection anytime on your iPhone. EVERY CARD HAS A STORY A collection is more than a checklist. Maybe it was the first time you pulled your favorite player, a card you opened with your children, or simply a design you fell in love with. Save those memories alongside each card. Years later, you won't just remember its year, number, or value — you'll remember why it mattered to you. ORGANIZE YOUR COLLECTION Save front and back photos with details including name, year, brand, product, parallel, serial number, grading company, grade, and certification number. Search your collection, mark favorites, and create your own digital showcase for sports cards, TCG cards, and other collectibles. TRANSACTION HISTORY Record acquisition dates, prices, sources, transaction photos, contact information, and notes. Whether a card came from a card show, collector group, friend, or trade, you'll always remember where it came from. KNOW WHERE YOUR CARDS ARE “I know I own that card... but where did I put it?” Record physical storage locations such as binders, card boxes, cabinets, or safes. Add reference photos, browse all cards stored in one location, or start with a card and find exactly where it is. YOUR CARDS, ON YOUR WALLPAPER Pocket Card Show helps you create a dedicated wallpaper collection that works with Apple's Photo Shuffle feature. Choose your favorite cards and let your iPhone rotate through them. Cards that used to leave the safe only a few times a year can now be enjoyed every day. TRACK VALUE AND COST Record acquisition cost, estimated market value, and price history to follow your collection over time. Enter values manually or use supported third-party pricing sources as references. Automated pricing isn't perfect, especially for rare cards, parallels, and autographs, so manual valuation is always available. Quick access to external collector resources also helps you research recent sales and grading certification information. QUICK BOX Not every card needs a complete catalog entry. Quick Box lets you rapidly photograph card fronts or import multiple photos into a virtual storage box. Years later, if an overlooked rookie becomes a star, quickly browse your Quick Box before digging through every physical box. You might discover: “Wait... I actually have his rookie card.” BUILT BY A COLLECTOR Pocket Card Show is independently developed by one collector for other collectors. Many features exist because they solve problems I personally encountered while collecting. The goal isn't to turn collecting into nothing but prices. It's to bring together your collection, memories, display, organization, and value in one place. YOUR COLLECTION STAYS YOURS Your card photos, stories, collection records, and storage information are primarily stored on your device and in your own iCloud storage rather than being published to a public collection database. Your collection. Your stories. Your data. Pocket Card Show Your collection. In your pocket.
