When you are selling Magic cards, pricing accuracy is everything. Underpricing means leaving money on the table, and overpricing means your cards sit unsold while the market moves on. Lotus Scan provides real-time market prices from major platforms like TCGPlayer and Card Kingdom so you can price your cards competitively in seconds. Whether you are listing individual high-value cards, building out a TCGPlayer storefront, or preparing a bulk lot for your local game store, having accurate and current pricing data at your fingertips transforms the selling process from guesswork into a data-driven operation.

Why Selling Cards Needs a Specialized Scanner

MTG card prices fluctuate constantly based on tournament results, set releases, ban announcements, and seasonal demand. A price guide from even a week ago can be significantly outdated for volatile cards. Sellers who manually look up every card on marketplace websites waste hours that could be spent listing and shipping. The right scanner app eliminates this bottleneck by giving you instant, up-to-date pricing during the scanning process itself, so you can go from unsorted pile to priced inventory in a fraction of the time.
