Why a card has an error

A card that has an error names one reason at the top of the panel, with the button that clears it.

A card that has an error says why in one sentence at the top of the panel. Beside the sentence is the button that clears it. Answer that one thing and the card is ready to approve.

The reasons

  • "Pick the finish." Press the button beside it and choose one.
  • "We could not read the card name." or "We could not read the card number." Press Pick the right card and choose it from the list.
  • "We read different card numbers on the front and the back. Check the number on your card." Press Pick the right card and pick the one with the number printed on your card.
  • "We could not confirm the Ice parallel from the scan." The catalog suggested a parallel the scan did not show, so the card has no price until you say which parallel you hold. Press Pick the parallel. See the parallel on a sports card.
  • A card we read no name on is called Unnamed card, and its scan’s file name shows under it. A card back shows no file name. Type the card name, or press Pick the right card.
  • "This scan is the back of a card." Press Read the other side.
  • "This looks like a One Piece card and the batch is Pokémon." Press Pick a category and pick the card’s own game. See which games we read.
  • "We found no market price for this card." Press Set the price and type one, or press Open on eBay and see what it sells for.
  • "This card is worth $12, above your review line of $10." The sentence names both figures. Press Mark ready.
  • "You marked this card as an error." Press Move to draft when you have checked it.
  • "The scan did not finish." Press Try again. When this tab no longer has the scan, add it to the batch again.

A card we were unsure about does not stop on that alone.

A finish we picked keeps the card a Draft, and the card says so.

With Scan Credit Return, a card that comes back as an Error on its first scan gives its scan back, up to a monthly limit. Two reasons keep the scan: your own review line, and a card you marked as an error.

The fields a card must have

A label with an asterisk has to be answered before the card can list. It turns red while it is empty.

Four fields work that way. They are the category, the finish when the card has an error for it, the list price and the title.

Under the reason, Missing details lists anything else the card still needs. Click a line to jump to the box.
