What the Pokémon scanner recognizes
Pokémon cards are reprinted across many sets and in several finishes, and every version can be worth a different amount. TCGSnap compares your card with an image of each printing in its database, so you get the set and card number rather than just a name. Always check the set symbol and number on your card against the result, because near-identical reprints can occasionally be confused.
