The Vault
Every card in the universe — 19,000+ — searchable across cards, sets, or both, with deep per-card metadata: rarity, artist, regulation marks, evolution stage, and legalities.
Pokémon never really left. CardsCloud is the collection tool I always wished existed — built on a real data model so you can browse 19,000+ cards, track what you own, watch live market prices from two sources, and dig into sets, evolution chains, and artists through tools most collector apps just don’t have.

Snapshot pendingI grew up on Pokémon — the games, the cards, all of it — and I never stopped paying attention. CardsCloud is what happens when that hobby meets the operator stack: a collection manager for people who actually collect, with a searchable vault of the whole card universe, real ownership tracking, and live market pricing from TCGPlayer and Cardmarket so you always know what a binder is worth.
Around that core it stacks the tools collectors usually have to juggle five sites for: set browsing with rarity breakdowns, evolution-chain lookups, an artist atlas, trending and leaderboard views, and AI-assisted card analysis — the kind of thing that’s only possible because the AI runs on my own fleet.
Most collection apps either show pretty card images with no data depth, or they’re glorified spreadsheets with no pricing or relationships. Serious collectors end up juggling several sites: one for prices, one for set lists, another for card details.
CardsCloud’s premise is that a strong data model can hold all of it — metadata, pricing, evolution lines, set statistics — and surface it through one fast, opinionated interface.
Every card in the universe — 19,000+ — searchable across cards, sets, or both, with deep per-card metadata: rarity, artist, regulation marks, evolution stage, and legalities.
Prices from TCGPlayer and Cardmarket with cross-set comparison, so collection value reflects the real market, not a stale snapshot.
Trending cards, leaderboards, insights, an Artist Atlas, Sprite Studio, and Pack Lab — ways to explore the catalog beyond a flat list.
AI-assisted analysis and chat over card data, running on the fleet’s local inference — ask questions about a card or a set and get real answers.
Capturing a decade-plus of cards with consistent metadata — evolution chains, regulation marks, rarities, artists — and indexing it so search and lookups stay instant.
Reconciling TCGPlayer and Cardmarket data — different currencies, conventions, and coverage — into a coherent value view.
A neo-brutalist aesthetic — bold borders, chunky type, high contrast — that stays readable and fast across a dense, data-heavy catalog.
A clean Slim/Twig structure over MySQL — the right amount of framework for a data-heavy app that has to stay fast.
A carefully indexed schema is what makes 19,000 cards searchable instantly and priced live.
Local inference powers card analysis and chat without per-query API costs.
The roadmap leans into what a strong data model unlocks — deeper pricing trends and insights, plus collector-facing tooling like wishlists, want-lists, and price alerts that turn a catalog into an active collecting companion.
CardsCloud is live with the full catalog.
