Scanning 7000 Magic The Gathering Cards in one sitting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- We use the TCG Player app for scanning cards, and really had to put it to the test. After scanning somewhere between 6000-7000 cards, we were able to separate the bulk from the valuable.
recently i scanned about 800 cards, after about card 350 the noise was like a birthday party, that woke me up and gave me new life
For me, the most satisfying part of scanning bulk is this: a few weeks later when I’m researching/building a budget commander deck, some times a card I pick will show as “already in collection”. Yeaay! That’s 60 cents I don’t have to spend at Card Market!
Sooner or later you'll become more familiar with Magic especially the uncommon/common cards and the ones that carry most value over $1. It comes natural when you start buying lots over the years.
This STILL 100% True
So how do you know you didn't pass up a $500 card that said it was 50 cents
Unlimited vs Revised. Both were base sets (so no set icon) with mostly the same cards but unlimited was ironically not in print nearly as long as Revised was so Unlimited cards are more rare. Easy for a person to notice the differences but they are minor so it trips most card scanners. TLDR first printings of cards can be worth more and scanners can't always tell if it's a reprint or first run.
Better do it again, to double check
wow, was that a foil rhystic study? btw condition matters as well. a little bump in the corner will lower a card's value.
For sure
Non-foil, there was no shooting star.
Old frame foils stick out like a sore thumb . This was very obviously not a foil rhystic study.
I use the tcgplayer scanner alot. It looks like you got a decent set up so it would mess up less. You got pretty much all of this covered but for people who may need it, tips for it not to mess up are solid color background, no shadows in the scanning area (ceiling fans make scanning hard) always double check the set on the app and card. And you have to check if its a list/ mystery booster copy. By the little Planeswalker symbol in the bottom left corner of the card. Some of the list copys are alot more or lot less then its normal printing. Hopes this helps people and good luck scanning!
Lmao I saw vigor and immediately knew a multi scan was coming
What did you use to scan cards?
Was it worth the time though. Or could you of gotten more throwing it on whatnot as unsearched
Id pay money to do this. I love sorting and price checking all mu cards. Its very very soothing for me.
Did you make sure the set was correct on every scan? Tcg, mana box, all of those with scan features. They don't always pick up the set difference, especially when the art has been reused multiple times.
Sort by set first then scan one set at a time. Then make sure everything is correct, then move on.
What app is being used?

Have to love that "Vigor" ... Great card. But dude, you left me wondering what that final card was and its value.
it was essence warden. but this video is 2 years old
What is and where can I find the scanning thing you are using for these cards?! I have a ton that need to be sorted
So are you using a phone app? I have cards that i havent used in a while and would love to see what i got.
Thanks for making a new Skylar video to bad it’s only a short video.
What do you use to scan your cards? I'm a total noob.
TCG player. Delver lens works well also
@capealio Thanks, bro. Much appreciated.
How TF did you get the scanner in the Tcg player app to actually work?
Thanks for helping me find the motivation to sort my massive collection
I did not know that the TCG player app did that
What scanner do you use?
What do these scanners cost?
Any app that u can scan sport cards? And actually sell them?
The scanner sometimes gets confused by the border. Some cards reprinted with white borders are incredibly less valuable than their black bordered counterparts.
What app did you use to scan all of the cards?
TCG player
What was the last card , that had value?
what you use for scanning ?
X2
It would have been better if you had showed that final card
A little late, but the final card was probably the Essence Warden scanned at the end of the video, right before looking over at the finished stacks, which registered $5 on the scanner.
@@jeezuhskriste5759I've got like 20 of those.....not suprising.
Hi very good video what is your app? Thanks a lot this app can use for pokemon card?
TCGplayer . And yes it can be used for Pokémon
@@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice thanks you, your video is awesome, continue :)
Thank you! Will do
Whats the app used to scan and price?
TCGplayer
lol you got fleeced guy
What’s the app called? Is it on IOS ?
What is this app because I have two boxes of magic cards that someone gave me and I've never played the game in my life
What software do you use for scanning?
He literally said it
@@johnbeaman9570 oh i missed it then, tried looking in the description but found nothing. What software is it then?
Tcgplayer
As a magic player and seller I’d never buy that much magic without knowing a single thing about them just the amount of work to sort through thousands of penny cards for the one that’s over $1 isn’t worth it.
I had the same problem. 2000 cards but did the scanner ever scan a card wrong?
so just edit an auto shuffler rig and bop a scanner on it, would take no more than a few minutes. also maybe the system is registering the value abase off of how many are in circulation or something??
How much for the bulk ???
Message me on Facebook or Instagram!
I didn’t know you could scan more than 1 at a time 😮
How do you scan??? Is it an app?
Yes, TCG player app. Delver lens works great also
What app do you guys use for this?
TCG player
Rhystic study being referred to as just "this one" hurt my soul... Its like how people collect the pokemon tcg without knowing how to play.
What’s the app called , collecter tcg app ?
TCGplayer
what scanner app are you using?
TCGplayer the app has a scanning feature use a white background for best results
Honestly, I’d love this job. Probably… I really enjoy organizing and flipping through cards and working at my own pace.
Nah you'd be fired for going too slow
I scanned through my boxes of rares. Only thi g i dont like is that the app won't detect foils and often gets the wrong set it was printed in.
Delver lens is better
I did that once, a dude was moving so I bought a rubbermaid tote full of bulk went through it and found about $400 dollars worth of $2 and up stuff with 2 cards that were $30 and $50. Not bad for a $20 dollar buy and a solid 6 hours of labor.
What app do u use man to scan like that?
TCG Player. There’s a MTG version too I think
Here i am wondering if those are atari 2600 games under the table....
Why are you scanning lands bro?
i have so far; scanned, and sleeved, 10,100 cards; over the course of 4 years!!! i literally finished in january
Could you share the scan app please?
TCGplayer
He said so on the video, y'all are dense
@@capealio it’s been 7 month’s and the question is already awnsered, who hurt you? 😂
That app hates me I try and center it and put it on a white background it won't scan. Like is it supposed to fit exactly in the white scan grid? Im trying to pull my phone back further or up closer and no luck.
when taking pictures in other apps, do you find you have any problems with autofocus?
Sort of, it does need to be in an exact spot to scan
Needs to be a well lit area and have a completely white background. If done right, the camera can capture up to 9 cards at once.
Despite the ease of scanning, I somehow have still entered more cards manually through deckbox. I think I've scanned around 1500 or so cards but typed around 2700. I think I just like data entry, haha.

@@ARK-ep4bbthank you
Love playing, but I’ve had shit in boxes since I shortly after I started playing in 2012. Hell, have a Card Kingdom order from a month ago on my binders.
I feel sorry for the new people who don’t have the internal database of cards and their potential and historical prices yet (knowing whether to check if they popped off or dwindled in play value). With the internet as it is nowadays I figure it must be quicker now to learn though
I can look through cards manually and pull out what I know might have value to get a more accurate reading. I've played, traded, and sold so much I just know.
You got no life, but I still admire your skills
I did that several months ago. Ended up finding 7 rhystic studies. 😂
What's the app name?
TCG player
Better to just pay someone who actually knows what they're looking at. Condition matters on alot of these cards and the scanner doesn't always recognize everything.
you scanned even the basic lands lmao. Probably could of saved a lot of time not scanning those. They are in every magic set.
Was surprised that certain ones had some value! It was more so to try and learn a bunch about MTG since these were the first cards we bought/researched
@@skylarwattie some basic lands can bring $1+ ea and some foil full arts $5+
Also the special lands from Jump Start are worth a bit, especially the Phyrexian Swamp.
@@MSUHitman they aren’t anymore lol
Search Guru lands... I had 3 of them until some butt stole them... They weren't worth much when they got stolen.
One day? Oh. You're serious. I normally need around a week and a half.
Praying they add Digimon & one Piece to that list
how do i scan my cards like this ?
TCGplayer
Delver lens works great also
What is the scanning app
TCGplayer
You can scan cards ?
TCGplayer the app has a scanning feature use a white background for best results
One day we well get a machine to scan all the card for the store owner and help them out
Let's go gambling!
Am I tripping or did I see a Gaea’s cradle
YES! You finally did a Magic video! Sorry but I have zero interest in Pokemon b/c I don’t like the video game, & I can’t get into sports cards b/c I’m over 40 & remember the 90’s.
Pretty sure you can send them to a group who will do it for you
Yeah, if you wanna lose money doing so
Its cheaper to just run them to a local card store take the 60% and keep rolling the times more importany😊
45% at my lgs for cash value. 50% for store credit
i know this struggle. almost to level 4 on tcg player and itll really get ramped up with my fujitsu
Total value 12$
You can take the beep off ya know
App name ?
TCGplayer
Cool!
Just make friends with an MTG player/seller/collector. We’ll sift through and pull anything over $1 from memory.
just scanned 3,467 last night 😅
Tcg player dont barely scan black cards
reason he turned 300 into 3000 is because he even scanned all the pennycards. penny cards ADD UP!!. probably could turn 10k cards into 5k value.
This is really funny ro me because you could have just given someone at your LGS $10 to just sift through this for 10 minutes and saved yourself an entire day
Nah, this is about not missing something. You're not going to get that from your LGS random.
Says tcg player app. Uses mana box
lol theres the under $1 blip, then the under $5 blip, then the over $10 blip, thats as far as ive gone
That $10 ding is nice
Thas alot of bulk ya be scanning 😵
7000 cards worth $3000 not too bad
Vigor is worth more then warden
80% of those have frayed edges tho
Now sleeve em
Why not rescan the cheap cards to make sure if they had value? Lol
Cuz he knew the $300 one was wrong. Duh
Lmfao this is fun :)
Just use manabox, its much more accurate
Ive got another box for you if you dont mind. 😂
Lucky
That's a great reason to not use the scanner😂 gotta be easier to search
As someone who works at an LGS and works with magic cards a lot no the scanner is a god send. Sure it can be wrong but if I have to scan 300 cards and it even get 100 right on the first try then that’s only 200 I have to correct and on top of that TCGPLAYERs scanner pulls up all the versions of the card so it’s as simple as 2 taps of the phone screen.
Same
ManaBox has a better scanner
I could have manually skimmed that in like 1 hour max lol
Please stop scanning basic lands.
Help us learn Cory… lol
To be fair, they had some arena/genie program basic lands in there. Which have some value
That scanner is awful
"Full time reseller" bro just say you're unemployed lmfao
