CardYield is an invite-only software application designed for trading card and hobby collectors. It tracks singles, sealed wax boxes, and breaks, with a focus on calculating the real cost basis of items from the case level down to individual cards. The platform supports multiple categories including Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Soccer, Pokémon, and Magic: The Gathering. It pulls pricing data from sources such as eBay sold comps, Scryfall, and PriceCharting.
CardYield is the only app that knows what a break actually cost you, from the case down to every single that came out of it. Every other card app treats breaks as a black box. CardYield tracks the whole pipeline: wax → break → singles, with real cost basis math end-to-end.
The six core tools include My Vault for singles with live eBay pricing and ROI, Wax Track for sealed hobby product, Breaks Log for PYP slots and case breaks, Scan to read card details, Grade Check for photo-based AI grade estimates, and Break Calc to simulate PYP slot value against product hit rates using Poisson probability math.
Additional tools include Break analytics with sortable leaderboards, Break pricing for live PYT/PYP/case pricing across five major breakers, List on eBay for one-click listing, Price alerts that fire once and are re-armable, and a Weekly digest email with portfolio value and P&L. There is also a barcode scanner for wax and CSV import functionality.
Users can organize singles into custom collections and share them with anyone they invite. They can also publish any collection to a shareable URL with live prices and List on eBay buttons without requiring a login. Team sharing allows sharing collections with named accounts as either viewer or editor, which is great for shops.
The platform includes a card scanner that reads year, set, player, card number, and parallel from the card. It also features a photo-based AI grade estimator that works across PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, and TAG, and recommends whether to submit or keep raw with financial analysis.
Users can set price alerts for above-or-below targets on any card and receive an email when the tracked price crosses the threshold. The alert fires once and is re-armable. There is also a weekly digest email sent on Sundays with total value, P&L, top holdings, and new adds, which can be opted out from settings.
The platform offers a break calculator that uses probability math to simulate outcomes. It also includes break analytics with sortable leaderboards by breaker, product, and format to see which case breaks actually hit for you. Break pricing provides live PYT/PYP/case pricing across five major breakers for comparison shopping.
Users can import their collection over from Alt, Loupe, TCGPlayer, or any spreadsheet. The system dedupes automatically during import. There is also a native barcode scanner for wax that reads the UPC and prefills product, year, brand, and format.

What stands out is how CardYield handles the whole pipeline from wax to breaks! The ability to track sealed product and link it to singles is fantastic. I love that it calculates real cost basis end-to-end. The scanner works beautifully for quick logging. It feels like the only app that truly understands break mechanics, making portfolio management actually make sense for serious collectors who want accurate data without guesswork.
The break analytics and price alerts seem like excellent value for the money, but is the monthly fee standard for all supported sports leagues?
The scanner feature looks super handy for quickly adding cards to the vault. Just snap a photo and it reads the details. The ability to list on eBay directly from any card or wax entry is also a nice touch for convenience.
From the information available, CardYield stands out as a dedicated tool for collectors who want to track more than just inventory. The ability to log case breaks and link them directly to the singles received is a feature that most other apps lack. It tracks the whole pipeline from wax to break to singles, which provides real cost basis math end-to-end. This means you can see the true profit and loss on your breaks, not just a count of cards. The support for multiple genres like baseball, basketball, MTG, and Pokémon is impressive, with genre-aware pricing pulling from eBay, Scryfall, and the Pokémon TCG API. The scanner tool reads year, set, and parallel quickly, and the grade check offers AI estimates from major grading companies. Having a portfolio dashboard that rolls everything up makes it easy to see total value. The fact that your data is yours and you can export anytime adds a layer of security. For someone considering this company, the depth of the break analytics and the ability to list directly on eBay from any entry seems like a significant time saver for active hobbyists.
