Terms & Disclosures
Effective August 25, 2026
Estimates, not guarantees
Card identification, condition, grade, PSA 10 probability, value, and recommendations are estimates. They may be incomplete or wrong and are not a professional grade, appraisal, offer, or promise of future value. Inspect the card and recent market sales before buying, selling, trading, or submitting it for grading.
Subscriptions and scan packs
Subscriptions renew through Apple unless canceled in Apple ID settings. Included monthly scans do not roll over. Purchased scan-pack credits remain until used while CardBeacon operates. Apple does not restore consumable scan packs after an app reinstall or device change.
Acceptable use
Do not probe, scrape, overload, bypass limits, resell access to, or use CardBeacon’s analysis service for unlawful content. Access may be limited to protect users, data providers, and service availability.
Third-party content and independence
Catalog metadata comes from the TCGdex database (© 2021 TCGdex), used under the MIT License. Card artwork loads directly from TCGdex’s third-party CDN; CardBeacon does not host Pokémon card images. The database license does not grant rights to underlying card artwork or third-party names. This product uses TCGplayer data but is not endorsed or certified by TCGplayer. CardBeacon is an independent collection manager and is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by The Pokémon Company, The Pokémon Company International, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK, or Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA).
