Point the camera at the collector number and the card files itself: right set,
right printing. Then see what each set still needs and what the collection is
worth.
Escape Rope turns a shelf of binders into a collection you can actually see.
Point the camera at a card and it reads the collector number printed in the
corner — 001/102, 173/182 — resolves it against a catalogue of 20,444 English
cards, and files it under the right set and the right printing. No typing card
names. No working out which of the twelve Pikachus you are holding.
WHAT IT DOES
• Scan with the camera. Text recognition runs on your device; the photo never
leaves your phone.
• Add by hand when you want to. All 174 English sets are browsable — pick a
card, tap +, swipe to the next one.
• Keep printings straight. Normal, reverse holo and holo are separate entries
with their own quantities, because to a collector they are separate cards.
• Watch sets fill up. Per-set completion across all 174 sets, sortable and
filterable down to what you own or what you are missing.
• Build binders. File cards you already own into named binders. Filing never
double-counts — a binder points at the card, it does not copy it.
• Follow the value. Market prices, a portfolio total, your most valuable cards,
and a history chart you can drag through by date.
• Search the whole catalogue by name, fuzzy enough to survive a typo.
BUILT AGAINST REAL BINDERS
The scanner reads the printed collector number rather than trying to match the
picture, because the number is the part of a card that identifies it exactly.
Everything in the app was built and tested against actual binders — a full Base
Set went through it before anyone else saw it.
HONEST ABOUT A FEW THINGS
• English sets only — 174 of them, from Base Set forward.
• Prices are market figures gathered from public marketplace data and shown in
USD. They are an estimate of what a card trades for, not an appraisal, and
figures quoted in other currencies are converted at the European Central
Bank's daily rate.
• Scanning needs the corner of the card legible. Older cards print the number
very small, and a few early sets are genuinely hard to read — the whole
catalogue is one tap away when a scan cannot be sure.
PRIVACY
No analytics. No advertising. No tracking, no third-party SDK collecting
anything, nothing handed to a data broker. Your card photos stay on your device.
Delete your account from the Profile tab and the account, the collection, the
binders and the history all go with it, immediately and permanently.
ONE PURCHASE
Buying the app buys all of it. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no feature
behind a second payment.
Escape Rope is an unofficial fan-made collection tracker. It is not affiliated
