Inside SlabIQ
What you get with SlabIQ
One browser-based workspace from the first scan to the sale, built only for trading cards.
Identify a whole batch at once
Upload a stack of scans or phone photos and SlabIQ matches every card against its catalog: sports cards and TCGs including Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana and Flesh and Blood. Uncertain matches wait for your review instead of being guessed.
Built for graded slabs
Every card carries grader, grade and cert number, and SlabIQ fills them into eBay's graded condition descriptors for PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, TAG, ACE and every other grader eBay recognizes.
Listings written from the scan, on every channel
Titles, descriptions and item specifics come from the identified card and your own templates. Sell on eBay, Shopify and CardTrader from one inventory: when a card sells on one, SlabIQ updates the others. On eBay, schedule a batch to go live all at once or staggered, with Best Offer rules.
Market prices beside every card
TCGplayer market prices and recent sales for TCGs, completed sales where available, and live asking prices, each labelled with its source, so you price a batch without opening another tab.
Inventory that knows where every card is
Each card keeps its cost, listed price, market price and storage location. Combine duplicates, and pull pick lists when cards sell.
Lots and real profit
Lot Builder writes lot titles and descriptions and makes collage images. Finance Hub tracks purchases, sales, marketplace fees and profit, so you know what each card actually made.
Product tour
See SlabIQ in action
From the first scan to the profit on the sale, in SlabIQ's own screens.
Identify a whole batch at once
Upload a stack and SlabIQ matches every card, sports and TCG alike. Here all ten cards matched automatically, nine are ready to list, and the one left as a draft waits for your review.
Your phone is the scanner
No scanner needed: scan the QR code and your phone's photos go straight into the batch. Nothing to install.
Listing details filled in from the scan
Name, year, set, card number and graded-slab fields come from the identified card, ready to go into your title template and item specifics.
One card, every channel
One inventory record, listed on eBay, Shopify and CardTrader at once. When it sells on one, SlabIQ updates the others, and the card's cost, market value and profit sit right beside it.
Inventory that knows where every card is
Every card shows where it's listed, what it cost, its market and list price, and the box or slab case it lives in, so pulling a sold card takes seconds.
Profit after every fee
Finance Hub nets marketplace fees, promoted-listing fees, shipping labels and cost of goods out of every sale, so you see what you actually made across every channel.
Screens from SlabIQ with a sample account: real catalog cards; prices, costs and sales are examples.
