Every other cataloguing tool is designed around the cards worth insuring. Most of a
real binder is not those cards, and the rest of it quietly goes unrecorded for years —
not because the owner does not care, but because entering a common one at a time costs
more than the card is worth.
NinePocke catalogues them anyway. Every card you pull goes in, commons included, so
the pack you ripped is still there to look back on. The chase cards still get their
moment — they simply stop being the only thing the software can see.

A graded chase card
One photograph. Nine cards.
Lay nine cards down, take one photo, and all nine come back read, matched and sorted.

Lay your pulls down.
A rough overlay shows roughly where they go. It is guidance, never alignment.

Nine cards come back read.
Year, set, number, subject, variant — pulled off each card and matched, pocket by

Sorted into your groups.
Every group you have set up sorts the cards as they land, without filing anything by
hand.
Built and running, in private testing.
Set it once. It sorts your whole catalogue.
Choose what a group holds — a player, a set, a year, any mix — and it saves across
your whole catalogue: every card you own now, and every one you scan later.
A group is not a folder you drag cards into. It is a setting, and saving one reaches
back through everything you have already catalogued.
Which is what lets a group be a story instead of a filter: a career arc, a character
line, a childhood summer. You name it in your own words, and it stays a thing you can
show someone rather than a search you have to run again.

A condition audit that steps closer to the card.
Shingan™ is the condition audit we are building alongside NinePocke. It has its own
name and its own mark, because its grade is meant to be read on a slab, away from any app.
It is planned in three levels. Each one looks more closely than the last, and only the
last one grades.
Level 1
Photo audit
From photographs you take of the card. Shingan will read its condition and give its
grade potential on the scale below: where it could land, never a grade. Photographs
cannot settle everything, so the result will be a conditional Scorecard.
Level 2
Live audit
A live digital audit. Shingan will ask for close-ups and guide you through them in a
chat, to confirm what photographs alone could not. The result will still be grade
potential, not a grade.
Level 3
In-hand audit
The card will come to us to be inspected in hand. This will be the only level that
grades: NinePocke’s own grade, in tenths, sealed with the card in a Shingan slab
and backed by a full audit report.
Our own scale, one to ten.
Every Shingan grade and every grade potential sits on this ladder. It is ours, not a
grading company’s. A Level 3 grade will add tenths and name its rung, as in
8.4 · Crisp.
