Values I'm not really concerned with as they can go up and down at a moments notice so I always just check ebay or 130point.com for present comps to gauge value if available.
Sometimes like the Mecole U.S. Army auto that I posted above don't always show the correct sales value right away, if ever. It shows it sold for 39.95, but in reality I paid $29. Which was still a few dollars more than what it is worth IMO.

Thanks. When I was a kid, I cataloged each binder with something like "Topps '86" and then all of the card numbers from that set, just on notepad paper.... over the years I've thought about going the Excel route, but I have a shit ton of cards. Mostly 80s-90s, some older and probably nothing later than ~'98. They do very little besides move wherever I go, then sit in the basement.
I'd only like values to pick out the ones that are worth more than a dime per dozen. I started with CollX, which as advertised, isn't great, but has a lot of potential to be great. Of the top ~10 I scanned that I thought might be worth something, it was about $200 (and of course that's just uploading without any kind of rating or even guess at quality).
I have a few full sets, too, that don't seem great Googling/Ebaying.
The app seems like a great way to catalog when it properly finds a card and uploads it to their system (it scanned most... maybe up to 90% of them, but the uploading took forever in the background), but just like Excel or any other method, would absolutely take forever.
It's nostalgic going through them... loved collecting them as a kid.
