Scout AI pulls live eBay market data and scores every rookie card with its RC Score engine, so beginners know which cards are worth flipping — not just which ones look hot. Weekly AI picks, predictive valuations, and a portfolio tracker included. Free to start; Pro and Elite unlock deeper analysis.
The RC Score pulling live eBay data is a much better hook than just saying “AI picks.” Giving someone a reason why a rookie card is worth flipping makes the product feel useful for beginners too. Scout AI feels like it could be pulling in a lot more organic traffic than it probably is right now, especially while you’re still free to start. Have you seen collectors trust the score yet or do they mostly check the underlying cards?
The “know which cards are actually worth flipping” angle is interesting.
I’m curious about the first-user strategy though, are you mainly targeting existing sports card collectors, or people who want to get into flipping but don’t know where to start?
I feel like the second group could be an interesting acquisition angle.
Interesting product idea, especially the combination of live eBay data, AI scoring and portfolio tracking. I’d be curious how you’re thinking about the mobile experience for collectors who want to check card values or portfolio changes quickly while browsing or buying. Is a dedicated mobile experience part of your roadmap?
The interesting part here isn't really the AI picks — it's whether the RC Score actually changes what someone buys or sells compared with the signals they'd get from simply watching eBay prices. That's the part I'd be most curious to see play out with real users.
About
I'm a card collector (16,000+ cards, headlined by a '69 Topps Mantle) who got tired of manually digging through eBay sold listings to know if a rookie card was worth buying. Scout AI is the tool I built to fix that.
