Camera-based sports card value scanner (AppStore subscription)
An iOS app that recognizes sports cards via phone camera, shows market value, and tracks collections.
Summary
Replicate the CardStock product model: mobile camera recognition + card database + collection tracking, monetized via subscriptions and paywall SDKs (RevenueCat/Superwall). The video shows this exact product and how it scaled from hobby to recurring revenue.
Problem
Collectors don't know the identity or market value of cards in their physical collections without manual lookup.
Target customer
Hobbyist and semi-pro sports card collectors who want quick valuation and collection management on their phone.
Solution
iOS app (Swift/SwiftUI) that uses camera-based image recognition to identify cards, looks up market values from a backend database, and stores/graphs a user's collection and historical value.
