Scan a whole stack of cards on your Windows PC
My Cards AI for Windows takes a stack of cards from a sheet-fed scanner and identifies every card in the stack once it has gone through. From there you price and file every card, build your sets and keep the books with what you paid. It is free on the Microsoft Store and works with a free account.
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- On the Microsoft Store
- Scans from a Fujitsu or Ricoh fi-8170
- Flatbeds and your own scanner work too
- Same account as Mac, iPhone and web
How do I bulk scan sports cards on a PC?
Load a stack into a sheet-fed scanner and scan. The Windows app scans straight from a Fujitsu or Ricoh fi-8170, and sheet-fed document scanners in the Fujitsu/Ricoh fi series run hundreds of cards per session. The app identifies every card in the stack once it has gone through; to make cards wait instead, untick Identify cards as they arrive.
Nothing is locked behind a successful read. Every field stays editable, a card that comes back wrong can be re-read or corrected, and you can type a card in by hand when that is quicker.
Can I use a Fujitsu scanner for baseball cards, or the scanner I already have?
Fujitsu or Ricoh fi-8170
Let the scanner's own ClickScan or PaperStream Capture save the stack to a folder the app watches, as the app suggests for fi-series scanners, or scan straight from the app.
A flatbed
Your own flatbed works too. Cards in rigid top loaders belong on a flatbed, not in any sheet feeder.
Your own scanner and software
Keep the scanning software you already use. Save the scans to a folder and My Cards AI watches that folder.
No scanner at all? Scan with the camera in the iPhone app, or in the web app on an Android phone, and the cards show up on your PC under the same account.
Step by step, with the settings to use: setting up a Fujitsu, ScanSnap or flatbed scanner.
What happens to each card after the scan?
- Identified. Player, year, brand and card number are read from the card and filled in for you.
- Priced. Price the whole batch, only the cards still missing a value, or the cards you pick. A value is the current eBay asking-price average, which runs above what cards actually sell for, unless you set your own; when you have sold that card before, the app offers your sale price as its value. Every value names its source.
- Filed. Each card goes into your collection with its place (box, binder or shelf).
- Condition estimated, when you ask. Centering, corners, edges and surface, with a range and the defects named. It is a first pass, not a professional grade.
A Price Fetch is one card you ask the app to price that comes back with a price. A search that finds no matching listings does not count.
Can it keep the inventory, sets and books for a card business?
Sets build themselves. Start a set and the cards you have already scanned check themselves off. Numbers you tick by hand show in a different color, and whatever is left is the true missing list. Extra copies count toward a second build of the same set instead of being claimed twice.
The books. Enter what a card cost, or record a whole lot at what you paid for it; the lot shows what its cards have earned back. Log grading fees, shipping and supplies. Mark a card sold at the PC for what it really went for and it books into the ledger with its cost and its net. A sale marked in the iPhone app at a show counts in your profit too. Profit and loss covers this month, last month, this year, last year or all time.
The Windows app, the books and profit and loss are free with any account.
Does the Windows app sync with my Mac, iPhone and the web app?
Yes. The Windows app opens a collection only when you are signed in, so your collection is always also in your account. The Mac app, the iPhone app and the web app at mycardsai.com/app show the same cards on that account. Signing in takes your email and a 6-digit code, with no password, and the first time the same step creates your free account.
Each day it opens, the Windows app also copies your cards, and the sets and books as last synced, into a folder you choose. OneDrive is offered by name, and any folder inside Dropbox or Google Drive works too. It keeps the last 14 days. Pictures are not part of that copy, and the whole collection exports to CSV any time.
What does a PC need to run it?
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
- The Microsoft Store. The app installs from there.
- A free My Cards AI account. The app's first screen asks you to create one or sign in.
- For bulk scanning: a Fujitsu or Ricoh fi-8170, a flatbed, or your own scanner and its software.
