On the phone, not in the cloud.
The whole English catalogue ships inside the app as a one-megabyte index, and the matching is arithmetic on your handset. It works in the back of a shop with no signal.

File
Straight into a bulk box, a binder or a shelf — you pick before you start.
Scanning
It knows the card from the picture.
No typing a name you are not sure how to spell. No choosing between eleven Charizards. Hold it steady and the set, the number and the printing come back on their own.
20,089 cards deep.
Every English Pokémon single we hold, from Base Set to this month’s release — and it knows which printings a card actually comes in, so a holo-only card never gets filed as a normal one.
Nothing to buy to start.
The app is free on Google Play, scanning is part of it, and browsing the map does not even need an account. Nobody is asked for a card to file their first Charizard.
Your collection
Every card has an address.
Not one flat list of seven hundred rows. A bulk box, a binder, a shelf — the places you actually keep them in, under the names you actually call them.
Bulk, by the box
Commons and uncommons counted rather than catalogued. Six boxes, 637 cards, and each one labelled with whatever is written on it in marker.
Binders you turn
Nine to a page, and pages you page through. Eleven covers, so the vintage binder does not look like the Scarlet & Violet one at a glance.
Shelves worth looking at
A plaque under each shelf and a price ticket on every card, because the point of a shelf is that you can see it from the door.
Move a card between them in one tap. Give a box, a binder or a shelf any name you like — and if you file a card as a printing it does not come in, the app says so and offers to fix it.
Reporting
Know what you are holding.
A running figure for the whole collection and for every place inside it, priced per printing and per condition. A near-mint holo is not a played reverse holo, and the app never pretends otherwise.
It says estimate. Every time.
Prices come from the US market and are converted at the European Central Bank’s rate, because there is no UK price feed to buy yet. So every figure on the screen carries a ≈ and says where it came from. When a card has no price, it says that too, rather than counting it as nothing.

Planning
Five shops, one morning.
Pick the shops, say when you are leaving and how long you will spend in each. It orders the stops, checks the opening hours, and tells you when you will be home.
- It checks they are open. Each stop carries the hours for the day you are going, not a guess — and a shop with no listed hours is flagged as unknown rather than assumed.
- Drive, cycle or walk. The order changes with the mode, and so does the arithmetic.
- Hand it to Google Maps. The whole route goes across when you set off.
- Share it. A plan has its own link, so whoever is coming can see the same morning.
The map
15,757 places that sell cards.
Card shops, game shops, supermarkets, high-street chains — every UK shop we can find that puts Pokémon on a shelf. Sorted by distance, with hours that know whether it is open right now.
- 652 independent shops, checked by hand. Each with its own page, its real hours and a way to message it. Find a shop near you
- Watch the card, not the shop. Set a radius and a ceiling price, and get a push the moment somebody reports it on a shelf in range.
- Search a card, not just a shop. Typo-tolerant, and it tells you the nearest place anyone has seen it.
The part that needs you
Be the first in your town.
Stock reports come from collectors standing inside the shop — a photo of the shelf, what was on it, what it cost.
There are three reports on the whole map today. We are not going to dress that up, or invent any. Most towns have nobody doing it yet, and that probably includes yours. Post what is on the shelf — an empty shelf counts, and pays — and you are the reason the next person does not waste the trip.
Reports the community confirms earn coins and move you up the ranks, from Wanderer to Pathfinder. Reports go stale on their own, because a sighting from last month is not news.
Collect cards too?
The rest of this page is what your customers see.
Scanning, collections, values and the trip planner — the app the collectors walking into your shop are holding.
For card shops
Being found is free. The console is the business.
A listing on the map every collector near you opens costs nothing and never depends on paying. The console — your shelf online, events, drops, the demand board — is £39.99 a month, all in.
A free listing, forever
Hours, photos, directions and a page of your own on the map every collector near you opens. Free, and it never depends on paying.
Your shelf, at your own address
discovertcg.com/your-shop, rendered from your own stock list. Singles open as a nine-pocket binder with price stickers on the sleeves.
Events with honest tickets
Release days with free tickets, one per person, redeemed at the counter. Close, reopen or cancel with a reason people can read.
Drops and promotions
Say a delivery has landed and every collector following your shop is told. A queue on Saturday morning instead of a box in the back.
The demand board
Which cards people near you want and you are not selling — shown as a count, never a name, once five collectors want the same card.
Posts and the inbox
Long-form pages that rank under your own address, and an inbox any member of staff can pick up, with out-of-hours the app explains for you.
