What is Surge Cards?

Surge Cards is a ledger built for serious Pokémon card traders. You log every buy and sell, and Surge Cards tracks projected profit, ROI, fees, and shipping — so you always know where each card and your whole portfolio actually stands.

It pairs that ledger with live market comps and leaderboards, so pricing a flip and tracking a position happen in one place.

Which cards does it cover — only Pokémon?

Yes — Surge Cards is Pokémon-only. We're focused on doing one game properly rather than spreading thin across every TCG. Market data currently reflects PSA-graded listings.

Where does the price data come from?

Pricing is Powered by Scrydex — comps are built from recent real-world graded sold listings, with outliers filtered out so a single odd sale doesn't skew the number. You get an average, a trend, and a confidence read rather than one cherry-picked price.

Figures are estimates to help you make decisions — not a guarantee of what a card will sell for, and not financial advice.

How much does it cost?

There's a free Starter tier to get going, plus Trader and Champion plans that unlock higher limits and deeper market access. Full breakdown on the pricing page.

Can I bring my existing ledger over?

Yes. You can import your existing buys and sells, so you don't have to start from a blank slate or re-type your history.

Can I track cards I don't own yet?

That's what the watchlist is for. Add a card and Surge Cards keeps an eye on its market price over time, so you can spot the right moment to buy or sell without checking manually.

Which currencies are supported?

You can view prices, profit, and your ledger in your preferred currency — Surge Cards converts the underlying figures so everything reads in the money you actually think in.

How do I sign in? Do I need a password?

No passwords. You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email — there's nothing to remember or leak. Sessions keep you logged in on your device.

Is Surge Cards available now?

Yes — Surge Cards is live! Sign up free and start tracking your buys and sells, pricing cards from real graded sold-comps, building a watchlist, and seeing what's hot. We're in early access and improving fast, so if you hit anything or have an idea, reach out any time.

Who's Bolt?

Bolt ⚡ is your built-in AI card sidekick — a genuine Pokémon & TCG expert who lives on every screen. Tap him to chat about prices, sets, grading, variants, market trends or flipping strategy, and he answers in plain English with no fluff.

He's agentic, not just a chatbot — ask and he'll actually do things for you:

  • Price any card — "what's a PSA 10 Moonbreon worth?" and he pulls it up and runs the lookup.
  • Manage your ledger — add a buy, mark a card sold, update a price or fee — by asking, in your own words.
  • Run your watchlist — add or remove cards to watch on the spot.
  • Tune the app — switch theme, currency, date format or your default selling fees for you.
  • Read your collection (with permission) — your ledger P&L, holdings, watchlist and recent lookups, so his advice fits your cards, not generic tips.

He never invents numbers or makes up advice, and you're always in control: a one-time consent gates whether he can see your ledger & analytics, and you can hide him entirely — both in Settings.

Can I see profit, ROI and fees on every flip?

Yes. The ledger auto-calculates profit and ROI on every buy/sell with your own costs & fees (eBay %, shipping, anything) baked in. On Champion you also get deep Analytics — realised P&L, win rate, average hold time, best & worst flips and monthly charts — plus a year-end Tax / cost-of-goods-sold CSV export for your accountant.

How do I cancel or change my plan?

Billing is handled securely through Stripe, and you can change or cancel your plan at any time from your account. If anything looks off, reach out and a real human will sort it.
