The problem with "number go up"

Most card apps tell you what your collection might be worth.
Item Finder tells you what your business is actually doing.

Market value is one input. What you paid, fees, grading, travel, and trades decide whether you made money — and that's exactly the history collection trackers throw away.

// value ≠ profit

"My collection is worth $18,400."

Worth to whom, and against what cost? Only $6,200 of that has a known cost — the rest is a guess. Item Finder surfaces the gap instead of papering over it: your profit is only as trustworthy as the cost history behind it.

// the show question

"Great show — $4,200 in sales!"

Net of table fees, travel, the collection you bought at booth 12, and what you'd originally paid for everything that sold? Item Finder gives every show a real P&L, so you know which weekends earn and which just move cash around.

// the trade illusion

"This trade looks even."

Even by market value — but what did each side really cost, and which way did the cash go? Item Finder computes the incoming cards' true cost from what you gave up, so a trade never erases what you know about your money.

// the april surprise

"Wait — I owe tax on all of it?"

Sales are easy to prove; costs aren't. Without per-card records, gross sales reads like pure profit — and the table fees, travel, grading, and giveaway packs you never logged were deductions you quietly ate.

The 20-second lesson

Follow the money: a $108.80 ETB cost basis becomes $1,013.16 toward a Moonbreon

Collection
January: you buy a $1,250 collection for $1,000 — 80% of market value. Binders, loose singles — and a sealed Prismatic Evolutions ETB in the pile. The ETB is worth $136 that day, so its cost basis is the same 80% of market value: $108.80. Paper gain from day one.
cost basis$108.80
unrealized+$27.20
realized$0.00
Rip
May 19: the ETB is worth $161 when you crack it. It's a banger. Sylveon ex SIR ($430.10 that day), Espeon ex ($321.24), Roaring Moon ex ($172.96), plus bulk. The box's $108.80 basis splits across the pulls by value — $48.24, $36.03, $19.40 — automatically. Ripping isn't income: basis carries, and the gain stays on paper. (Ledger follows the three chases.)
cost basis$103.67
unrealized+$820.63
realized$0.00
Trade
July 2: all three for a Moonbreon — $1,962.22. Prices moved since May — Sylveon's $514.76 now — and every event is priced on its own day. Your three cards are now worth $1,013.16 against their $103.67 basis, creating $909.49 of realized gain. Add $949.06 cash and you receive the $1,962.22 Moonbreon: booked, timestamped, both sides snapshotted.
cost basis$1,962.22
unrealized$0.00
realized+$909.49
Tax time
Provable gain: $909.49. Provable cost: $1,962.22. Trades are taxable events most sellers can't reconstruct — yours is documented to the penny, on the right dates. When the Moonbreon eventually sells, only gain above $1,962.22 is profit; with no records, the whole price reads as profit. Table fees, travel, giveaways? Deductions, already recorded.
cost basis$1,962.22
unrealized$0.00
realized+$909.49

You typed exactly two numbers in this whole story — $1,000 and $949.06.
Item Finder computed every other figure on this page.

That right-hand rail is the whole product. Cost basis — what each card truly cost you. Unrealized — paper gain you're sitting on. Realized — profit that actually happened. All three carried through every buy, rip, and trade without you doing the math. Now try keeping that straight in a spreadsheet.

The engine

Every copy is an asset with a story

Not "3× Charizard" in a spreadsheet cell — three physical cards, each with its own acquisition, cost, grade, location, and fate.

Every copy knows its cost

Buy a 200-card collection for one price — Item Finder splits it across every card, penny-exact. Grading and shipping fold in later, so each card knows what it really cost you.

Trades that keep the math

Cards plus cash on either side. The cards you receive get a real cost — computed from what you gave up, never guessed.

Shows, start to finish

Pack your loadout straight from binders, share a live "what I'm bringing Saturday" link for socials, run sales from your phone at the table — then see the weekend's true profit, not just gross.

Deal builder + share links

Price a collection buy with your own pricing rules, send a clean public link. The other side needs no account — settle it when they say yes.

Square POS sync Pro

Walk-up sales record themselves against real inventory. Unmatched events queue for review — automation that stays honest.

Live valuation + insights Pro

Profit by set and era, dead-stock aging, sales velocity, capital stuck at the graders, and the gain you're sitting on. Answers, not charts — like which $8 cards out-earn your chase slabs.

Grading pipeline

Submissions, fees, returns, cert numbers. Costs fold into each card's total automatically, so graded margins stay honest.

Tax-ready exports Pro

What you sold, what it truly cost, what you made — plus the expenses and losses most sellers forget to claim. In the format your accountant actually wants.

Two jobs, one engine

Run a business. Hold a portfolio.
Or both.

Vendor / Dealer

Operate like a real business

  • Know whether Saturday's show made money once you count the collection you bought there
  • Spot the $8 cards that quietly out-earn your chase cards
  • Price a 200-card collection at 80% of market and send the deal in minutes
  • Let Square record the counter sales while you talk to customers

"Did this show actually make money once I count what I bought there?"

Collector / Investor

Hold like a portfolio manager

  • Base Set worth now vs. what you paid — and which buys appreciated most
  • Unrealized gain across the collections you bought to sit on
  • Trade duplicates to upgrade without losing track of what your collection really cost
  • Master-set progress, collector lists, and how much capital sits in grading

"What's my collection worth now vs. what I paid — and can I prove it at tax time?"

Same data, same engine underneath — a different lens on the same numbers. An investor is just a vendor who rarely sells.

Why you can trust the numbers

Built like accounting software.
Because it is.

Every number should survive an accountant's questions. These aren't features — they're guarantees the engine is built on.

No invented pennies

All money math runs in integer cents. Split $100.00 across three cards and the parts sum to exactly $100.00 — every time, guaranteed by property tests.

Σ shares === total // always

History never rewrites itself

Once a card is sold or traded, its recorded cost never changes — even if you re-edit the collection it came from weeks later. Your books don't rewrite themselves.

Every write is audited

Financial mutations are transactional, idempotent, and logged. Double-click a button at a busy show — you still get exactly one sale.

Uncertainty is never hidden

Missing cost, stale prices, unmatched imports — explicit states you can see and fix, not gaps silently filled with guesses.

Your data is yours

Tenant isolation enforced at the database layer and verified continuously. Full export whenever you want it.

Track, don't advise

Item Finder reports what your collection is worth and how it has performed. It never predicts prices or tells you what to buy. That's the point.

Pricing

Free to start. Obvious when to upgrade.

The free tier is genuinely useful, forever. Pro is for the day your cards become a business — or a portfolio worth knowing precisely.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers

I already track everything in Collectr / a spreadsheet. Why switch?+

Keep them if they're working — but they track what you own, not what it cost you or what you made. Import your Collectr or TCGplayer export in minutes; Item Finder keeps your history, flags every card with an unknown cost, and never silently invents numbers to fill the gaps.

Is this investment advice? Will it tell me what to buy?+

No, deliberately. Item Finder tracks — it never advises. It shows you what your collection is worth, how it has performed, and what your activity actually earned. No price predictions, no buy signals, no promised returns. That discipline is what makes the numbers defensible.

What's "cost basis," and why should I care?+

It's the accountant word for what a card truly cost you: your share of the collection it came in, plus grading, shipping, and fees along the way. It matters because profit is what you sold for minus that number — not minus the sticker price. Item Finder computes it per card automatically, so you get the clarity without doing the accounting.

What do I actually get for free?+

Unlimited inventory, penny-exact cost tracking, collection intake, imports, binders and groupings, sales, trades, and deal building — free forever, not a crippled demo. Pro adds the automation and analysis layer: live valuation, POS sync, full insights, sharing, and tax reports.

Does it work on the show floor?+

Yes — a mobile show mode with big tap targets for recording sales, buys, and expenses fast, plus offline viewing packs for your inventory and loadouts when the venue Wi-Fi dies. Afterward, the show gets a real P&L.

Is it only for Pokémon?+

For now, on purpose. The Pokémon workflow gets excellent before anything else is added — a half-supported second game helps nobody. The financial engine underneath is game-agnostic by design.

Can I trust it at tax time?+

Item Finder produces tax-oriented exports — proceeds, cost basis, realized gain — built from per-item history your accountant can trace. And because table fees, travel, grading costs, and losses get recorded as they happen, the deductions most sellers forget don't vanish into a shoebox. It's rigorous recordkeeping, not a substitute for a tax professional.
