How PullScope fits this category
Use PullScope when you want the likely card match, the confidence level, and a clearer sense of whether this category needs the back image or a slower manual check.
Questions that come up before the scan
Does PullScope support sports cards in addition to TCG?
Yes. PullScope is positioned as a TCG and sports card scanner, while confidence and data coverage can vary by card family.
When should I add the back photo for sports cards?
Add it when the year, card number, or parallel is unclear from the front, or when the back has the clearest identifying information.
Is grading included in the scan result?
Only if the scan clearly indicates a graded slab. Otherwise the result stays focused on the card identity and visible condition cues.
