About TCGems

We've played Pokémon for most of our lives. The games, the cards, and Pokémon GO, where we still walk way too far for a raid or a Community Day.

The cards never really left. Childhood binders, packs from every new set, and a shoebox or two we kept meaning to sort.

That's where TCGems started. Checking a stack meant typing set codes, guessing which printing we had, and hopping between marketplaces for a price. So we built a scanner that does it from the camera.

We care most about getting the printing right. Holo, reverse holo and normal versions of the same card can be worth very different amounts, and a scanner that mixes them up is no fun.

TCGems is made by Grit Apps, a small team of players and collectors. Questions, ideas or a card we got wrong? Write to us.
