Pokémon & trading card auctions: searched and tracked in one place

Card collecting has exploded back into the mainstream, graded Pokémon, sports and TCG cards are turning up everywhere from specialist collectibles sales to general household auctions, and increasingly on eBay alongside them. The problem: no single platform shows you all of it, and the best-value lots are often the ones sitting in a general auction that hasn't been noticed by the card-collecting crowd yet.

See it in action: one search across the-saleroom, eBay, iCollector and more.

Why card auctions are so easy to miss

Graded slabs and sealed product show up in dedicated collectibles and toy auctions, but just as often turn up misfiled, a childhood collection sold as part of a general household clearance, or a single graded card buried in a job lot of "assorted ephemera." Specialist collectors watch the specialist sales closely, which is exactly why the underpriced lots tend to be the ones outside them. Checking eight different platforms every day to catch these is unrealistic for anyone with a day job.

One search across every platform, plus eBay

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay, one keyword like "Pokémon PSA 10" or "Charizard 1st edition" returns matching lots across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "Pokémon/trading-card": 206 lots found in one search, from a graded Charizard to full binders and sealed booster boxes.

Because every platform's results land in one place, it's easy to spot when a common card or set is listed more than once, the same widely-available card can turn up on eBay, iCollector and a specialist platform at the same time, sometimes at noticeably different prices. Searching and comparing across all of them before you bid means you're far less likely to overpay for a card that's listed cheaper just one tab over.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as if you'd opened and searched each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

The part that matters most for cards: alerts

Card lots move fast and get buried quickly, so checking manually isn't enough. Save a search ("Pokémon," "graded sports card," a specific set or grading company) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay. As far as we're aware, nobody else offers alerts spanning this many platforms with eBay in the mix, which matters for cards specifically since so much volume moves through eBay day to day.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching card lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Built for how card buyers actually work

Save any lot with one click from search results, export your shortlist as a printable PDF or CSV before a sale, and on the day itself the optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator, so your maximum (with buyer's premium and VAT included) is always in front of you rather than worked out under pressure.
