The Fusion World top 10, by market price for the English, ungraded card.

Other apps rank it differently. They're not just wrong: they don't really care about Dragon Ball. Scouter prices every printing on its own, so a Super Alt Art, a Championship print, and a golden energy marker each have their own market price, not the regular card's.

Did we get something wrong? Which of these is in your binder?

I added up one copy of every card you can pull from each Fusion World set's booster packs. In English, the most expensive sets to complete are SB01 ($12,914) and FB09 ($12,912), practically level, and the cheapest are FB03 ($1,503) and FB04 ($1,522).

In Japanese, the most expensive are SB01 ($14,429) and FB09 ($11,515), and the cheapest are FB02 ($604) and FB04 ($862).

FB11 isn't out in English yet, so it only has a Japanese bar.

Quick update for those who tried and were disappointed, and for those who didn't even try. 1.4.0 is live on Android and the web. (Mods, as asked, I keep it to a once in 2-3 weeks updates)

Power Level. Your collection as a value over time, not a pile of separate prices. Day, week, month, or everything you have tracked, on a chart. It splits raw, graded, and Japanese printings, so you can see which part of the collection is actually moving.

The vault, redrawn. As many from this community asked me in DM. Your value and its month on top, best cards first, one search box and one Sort and filter button. The shelves along the top each answer a question: what moved, what is new, duplicates, graded, and the cards you have not recorded a price for. Each set is one tap away, with its completion and its worth.

Sets, redrawn. Also, a recurring piece of feedback from friends here. Pick Fusion World or Masters. The sets you are partway through come first, then everything else newest first. Japanese included.

Also in this one: recording what you paid is free and works everywhere now, on the import, on a card already in your vault, or as one price across a whole scanned stack. And collections over a thousand cards were only showing part of their value, which is fixed.

Three things worth knowing

1. Use Batch when you have a stack. Single is for one card. Batch keeps the camera open, queues everything you point at, and lets you review the whole lot at the end. It is free, and if you bought the stack as a lot, you can put one price across all of it.

2. Let the auto scanner do the work for you. Fit the card into the scanner's bands, and let it do the detection and scanning for you - it is the most convenient and accurate way to scan. Works in both scanning modes.

3. Set the language before you scan, not after. The scanner matches on the artwork, so the English and Japanese prints of the same card are two different images. The toggle is on the scan screen.

iPhone is still in Apple's review. Until it clears, dbscouter.com works in Safari, and you can add it to your Home Screen.

What would you want in the next one?

Hey everyone. A lot of you have asked me when the iPhone version would be coming, and I kept saying "soon" longer than I'd like to admit. It's here.

For anyone who missed the earlier posts: Scouter is the card scanner and collection tracker I've been building on my own. Point the camera at a Fusion World card; the phone identifies it and adds it to your vault. English and Japanese printings both work.

The iOS app is currently being submitted to Apple for review. While that runs, it's open on TestFlight, and I'd rather find the rough edges with you than with App Store reviewers.

How to join (takes two minutes):

1. Install Apple's TestFlight app from the App Store.

2. Open this link on your iPhone: https://testflight.apple.com/join/J8hMtZXQ

3. Tap Install. That's it.

If the link gives you trouble, comment "in" below and I'll DM you an invite.

What I'm hoping you'll do:

- Scan whatever you've got. Foils, alt arts, Japanese cards, beat-up commons. The scanner is the whole point, and every miss you report makes it better for everyone.

- Try signing in and syncing your vault, especially if you already use the Android app or the website. Same account, same collection.

- Tell me what annoys you. Honestly. I'm one person, and I can't see what I can't see.

Two honest caveats. It's a TestFlight build, so expect the occasional rough edge. The build expires in about 90 days, at which point the App Store version takes over. And Pro is in sandbox mode in TestFlight, meaning you can try it for free, but it won't carry over. Whoever finds and reports a real bug during this period gets Pro free for three months when it launches.

Question for the thread: what's the one card you'd bet the scanner can't read? Post it, and I'll run it through and report back. My honest answer (I didn't find a way to overcome it yet) is in the comments.

Thanks for pushing me to build this. It genuinely wouldn't exist without this sub asking for it.

Some of you know Scouter, I posted it here before. Quick honest update.

Japanese cards were the most requested thing by far, and for months my answer was "soon" while the app quietly did the worst possible thing: it scanned JP cards as their English versions and put the EN price on them. Every tool I know of does this, and I finally understand why. The JP and EN printings share the same card number and the same artwork down to the pixel. Different markets, very different prices (some JP manga boosters go for many times their English version), and nothing on the card face to tell software which one it's looking at except the text itself.

So that's what it does now. There's an EN/JP switch on the scanner, the app reads the text box to work out the language, and every Japanese card carries its own price from the Japanese market instead of borrowing the English one. The whole JP Fusion World catalog is in, listed in English with (JP) after the name, so you don't need to read Japanese to browse it.

Here's where you come in. I trust this sub to find the cracks faster than anyone. If you have Japanese cards, scan a few, check the prices against what you know, and tell me what's off. Name the card, and I'll chase it, usually same day. That's honestly how most of last month's fixes happened.

It's free (catalog, scanning, collection, prices). Works everywhere: dbscouter.com in any browser, Android on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.scouter.dbstracker), iPhone via Safari, Share, Add to Home Screen.

Mods, if this isn't okay here, say the word, and I'll delete it.

And since it's this sub: code REDDIT3 gives 3 months of Pro, in Settings under "Redeem a code".

Hi everyone!

I’m a Dragon Ball TCG collector and solo developer. I built Scouter because I was frustrated with the existing collection apps and wanted something faster and more focused on Dragon Ball Super Card Game, both Fusion World and Masters.

You can check it out here: www.dbscouter.com (Can be downloaded for Android and the instructions for iPhone are in the comments)

Since Dragon Ball has a huge collector base for both English and Japanese cards, I want Scouter to support both properly. English recognition is already working, and I’m now in the final stages of tuning and integrating Japanese card recognition.

That’s where I could use some help from the community.

I’m missing real-world phone photos of Japanese cards to test and improve the recognition. If you own any Japanese Fusion World or Masters cards - FB, BT, SB, promos, or anything else - I’d really appreciate it if you could upload a few photos through the app.

They don’t need to be perfect scans. In fact, normal photos taken with your phone are exactly what I need.

Even a handful of cards helps.

As a small thank-you to the Reddit community, you can use code REDDIT3 for 3 months of Scouter Pro.

Hopefully we can make Scouter better for DB collectors everywhere.

Cheers!

Although Scouter is not yet on Apple's App Store, you can actually already use it on an iPhone:

1. Open Safari and go to dbscouter.com (must be Safari - the option doesn't exist in Chrome)
2. Tap the Share button - the square with an arrow at the bottom of the screen
3. Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen
4. Tap Add (top right)
5. Open it from the new home-screen icon, not from Safari

That's it - full screen, its own icon, no browser bar, works offline, camera scanner included.

For new iPhone users, there is also a promo code for 3 months of Pro free: IPHONE3.

I'd be glad to hear more feedback!

Most card scanners make you take a photo and wait. I wanted it to feel like a barcode gun: hold the camera over a card, it locks on, you move to the next one. No shutter, no confirm tap.

It runs about a second per card. The clip is real time, not sped up.

Three things that took the longest to get right, and are the reason it isn't just "take a photo and hope":

It doesn't need the card centered. It searches across a range of positions and scales every frame, so a card sitting off to the side or slightly rotated still locks. This was the single biggest source of failures early on - people naturally hold a card wherever it lands in frame, not neatly inside a guide box.

Foils don't break it. Holo and secret rares throw off image matching badly because the shimmer changes with every angle in most apps. Took a lot of iteration to get those matching as reliably as flat cards.

It tells you which printing. Base vs alt art is the part most tools get wrong, and it's the part that matters if you're cataloging properly. Same card number, different card.

Covers Masters through BT31 and Fusion World through FB10, alt arts and promos included. Free, no ads.

It's a one-person project, and it's still rough in places. If it misidentifies a card, I'd honestly like to know which one - that's the fastest way it gets better.

Hey everyone - longtime DBS collector, and for the past few months I've been building Scouter, a free app for tracking your DBSCG collection (both Masters and Fusion World). Posting because this community's feedback would genuinely shape what I build next.

What it does:

📷 Camera scanner - point at a card and it identifies it in about a second. The part I'm proudest of: it can shoot a whole 9-pocket binder page in one go and identify every card on it. If your binders are master sets in card order, it even uses the page order to figure out the tricky pockets.

📚 Full catalog - every set through BT31 and FB10, including alt-arts, SPRs, and promos.

✅ Set completion - see exactly which cards you're missing from any set, with an "add full set" option and per-set progress.

📥 One-minute migration - if you already track your collection elsewhere (Collectr, TCGplayer CSV), import brings it all over.

It's free to use, no ads. I ship fixes weekly and take bug reports seriously - half the scanner improvements this month came directly from user reports.

Android: Play Store link
iPhone / browser: dbscouter.com

Happy to answer anything about how the binder scanner works under the hood - getting card recognition to work on a 12-pocket page was a genuine adventure. 🙏

So happy with these :)

Overall, to my eye, it seems to be mint with good centering. Not sure where to send it, or whether it makes sense to go for the black label.
