Case Study
PokeSee
TCG Investment Intelligence Platform
Overview
The Opportunity
The Pokemon TCG market moves in milliseconds. Rare cards appreciate hundreds of percent. But most collectors still rely on gut feeling, scattered eBay searches, and manual condition assessment.
PokeSee brings institutional-grade intelligence to individual collectors. AI grades your cards like a PSA expert. Multi-source pricing removes guesswork. The deal engine tells you exactly when to buy and what your ROI will be. Available on Android with iOS coming soon.

Inside the App
Core Features
AI Card Grading
Claude Sonnet and GPT-4o analyze card images for centering, edges, corners, and surface quality. Produces PSA-style grade estimates with confidence scores and condition flags.
Multi-Source Pricing
Real-time data from Pokemon Price Tracker, eBay sold listings, and PokeWallet. 4-tier pricing: Raw, PSA 8, PSA 9, PSA 10 with 7-day trends and liquidity scores.
Deal Scoring Engine
Weighted 0-100 score across 5 factors (price drop, PSA multiplier, condition, liquidity, market quality). Outputs BUY / NEGOTIATE / PASS with target buy prices and ROI scenarios.
Arbitrage Detection
Identifies buy-raw-grade-sell opportunities using real eBay PSA 9 sales data. Calculates spread, ROI percentage, and raw/PSA ratio across all grade tiers.
Smart Card Recognition
Point your camera at any Pokemon card for instant AI identification — name, set, number, rarity, variant. Choose to scan the back for full grading or analyze with front only.
