Opening

Opening: open a sealed product

Booster box, collection box or single booster: scan only the cards you keep, bulk is counted for you, and the cost is allocated at the end.

· Also in Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano

An Opening turns a sealed product into cards. The app follows the session from start to finish and spreads the product’s cost over what you pull.

Step by step

  1. Three ways to start: tap "Open" on a sealed item in your stock; or scan the barcode of a product you just bought and tap "Bought and opened"; or touch and hold Scanner, then "Buy and open".
  2. Check the "Open a sealed product" sheet: product, language, price paid if you buy it now. Tap "Start".
  3. Scan only the cards you keep. The scanner only searches the product’s set: faster, and no mix-up between languages.
  4. A reverse? Tap the "Reverse" chip under the last recognised card.
  5. Tap "Finish the opening". The summary shows bulk, hits, suggested storage and duplicates.
  6. Tap "Add to stock".

Bulk is counted, not scanned

The app works out how many cards were not scanned: boosters opened × cards per booster − cards scanned. Adjust it with − and +. Bulk is valued at a per-card rate you set once.

The counter

Under the capsule: "Pulled · cost · indicative EV". EV is the average expected value of a booster, computed from published, sourced pull rates. It is information, never a bet: no winning colours, no animation. Tap it to see the source; fold it away if you prefer.

Good to know

  • For per-booster statistics, tap "Next booster" between boosters. It is optional.
  • At the end, a card above your threshold may show "Grading: cost · graded prices available". No grade is ever predicted.
  • Offline, amounts are provisional; the real cost is allocated by the server when you finish.
