How to use PullScope for sports cards

Step 1

Start broad

Photograph the full card first so the app can separate game, set family, and likely card type.

Step 2

Add the detail shot

Use a second photo for the back, number area, or finish detail where this category gets sorted accurately.

Step 3

Decide the next move

Use the result to decide whether the card looks ready to trust, worth rescanning, or important enough for a manual check.

Questions people ask before they scan

Does PullScope support sports cards in addition to TCG?

Yes. PullScope is positioned as a TCG and sports card scanner, while confidence and data coverage can vary by card family.

When should I add the back photo for sports cards?

Add it when the year, card number, or parallel is unclear from the front, or when the back has the clearest identifying information.

Is grading included in the scan result?

Only if the scan clearly indicates a graded slab. Otherwise the result stays focused on the card identity and visible condition cues.
