Pokémon TCG ownership · master-set grade

Your binder,
page for page.

Photograph a page and Binder Boss writes down what is actually in it, slot by slot, keeping your 1st Edition Shadowless Charizard as a different card from your Unlimited. It never picks a pocket for you. That is your call, and the whole point.

43,000+ cards and 71,000+ distinct printings across 430+ sets, English and Japanese, refreshed every week.

how it works

Transcribe what's there. You do the placing.

Most trackers ask you to type a collection in. This one reads it off the page, then gets out of the way.

  1. 1.

    Photograph the page.

    Lay the binder flat, take one photo. Binder Boss reads the slots and tells you what it found. You confirm or correct it before anything is saved.

    photo → card
  2. 2.

    Keep the printings apart.

    Vintage cards open into 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited. Modern ones into Alt Art, Full Art, Secret Rare. Each is its own row, with its own slot and its own acquired date.

    per-variant ownership
  3. 3.

    Point a binder at a goal.

    Set what a binder is chasing (a set, a Pokémon, an era, a region, an artist, or a scope you build yourself) and it shows you its own ring and its own missing list.

    trackers + missing list

five lenses, one collection

The same cards, five ways in.

Master-setters think in sets. Nostalgia collectors think in Pokémon. Artist collectors think in neither. You do not have to pick one: it is the same ownership data, pivoted.

  • By set

    Every set ever printed, era by era, with its completion ring.

  • By Pokémon

    One Pokémon, every printing they have ever appeared on.

  • By era

    WOTC through Mega Evolution, as the hobby actually talks about it.

  • By region

    Kanto to Paldea: the region a set celebrates.

  • By artist

    Every illustrator's full portfolio, across every set they touched.

also in the app

Already in there, already yours.

All shipped, and every one of them is on the free plan.

  • Build a binder together

    Share a link and a second person can fill the same binder with you, live. Useful for a partner, a kid, or a trade group.

  • Japanese cards, in the same catalog

    Japanese sets sit alongside English ones, and the app knows a Japanese card and its English twin are the same card, so a language filter lines them up instead of double-counting them.

  • A to-buy list across every binder

    The union of everything missing from everything you are chasing, in one list you can take to a show.

  • Vendor mode

    Everything you hold, one line each, dearest first, with where it is. Built for standing behind a table.

  • Prices, quietly

    An indicative price on every printing, and a running total for each binder, so you know roughly what you are holding. It is a rough guide, not an appraisal, and one switch turns prices off everywhere.

  • It works on a bad connection

    Your collection lives on the device first and syncs when it can. A convention hall with no signal is not a problem.

frequently asked

Questions we keep getting.

Not answered here? Email admin@deadcenterstudios.com. A human reads every one.

Do I need an account to try it?

No. "Try it without an account" opens the whole app with two binders already in it: browse the catalog, mark cards, build a page. Nothing is saved to the cloud until you sign in, and when you do, the work you did in the demo comes with you.

What counts as a separate card?

A printing. One 1999 Charizard is one card but three printings (1st Edition Shadowless Holo, Shadowless Holo, Unlimited Holo), and Binder Boss tracks all three apart, each with its own slot, its own acquired date, its own everything. Modern sets work the same way for Alt Art, Full Art and Secret Rare.

Does it decide where my cards go?

It never picks a pocket. The camera reads the page you photographed and records what is in each slot. When you log a haul of new cards, it suggests the binder that is missing each one; you can change any suggestion, and the cards wait in that binder's unplaced pile until you put them in a pocket yourself.

Is there a free trial of Pro?

Yes. Pro starts with a 14‑day free trial. You add a payment card at checkout and are not charged during the trial; when it ends, your plan is charged unless you cancelled before then. Free needs no card at all.

Where does the card data come from?

Licensed from Scrydex. We ingest the whole catalog (430+ sets, 43,000+ cards, 71,000+ trackable printings) into our own database and re-sync it every Monday, so pages load instantly and new sets turn up on their own.

Do you show prices?

Yes: an indicative price on every printing, and a running total for each binder, so you have a rough sense of what you are holding. It is not an appraisal, and you can switch prices off completely in settings if you would rather not see them.

Is my collection private?

It lives on your device and, once you sign in, syncs to your own row in our database under row-level security, so nobody else can read it. Demo mode never leaves your browser. We do not sell or share collection data. You can publish a binder deliberately, and that is the only way one becomes public.

Open the binder.
Take one photo.

That is the whole first step. No spreadsheet, no typing in a hundred card numbers, no checkbox that pretends your Unlimited Charizard is the Shadowless one.
