Can I track graded cards (PSA, BGS, CGC)?💎 Pro
Yes — graded card tracking is a Lumidex Pro feature. With Pro, open any card modal, scroll to the bottom of the Card tab, and use the “Add graded copy” button to log a graded card with its grade and grading company. Supported graders: PSA, BGS (Beckett), CGC, TAG, and ACE. Graded card values use dedicated graded-sale price data where available and are tracked separately from your raw card collection.
How do I track sealed products?💎 Pro
Sealed products tracking is a Lumidex Pro feature. With Pro, navigate to the Sets page and open any set. From there, go to the Products tab to find booster boxes, ETBs, tins, and other sealed items for that set — then use the + / − buttons to track how many you own. Sealed product values are included in your total portfolio value.
What does "Missing variant?" mean?
If a card is missing a variant you own — for example a Shiny, First Edition, or Prerelease stamp — you can suggest it to us. Open the card’s detail modal and click the Missing variant?button. A small form will appear where you enter the variant name (required) and an optional description. Once you submit, our team will review the suggestion and add the variant to the database if it’s valid. You need to be logged in to use this feature.
What is the Wanted Board?
The Wanted Board shows you matches between cards you want and cards your friends own — and vice versa. It’s the starting point for proposing trades.
Prices
Where does price data come from?
Lumidex pulls market prices from CardMarket (EUR) and TCGPlayer (USD). Prices are updated on a regular schedule. You can switch your preferred currency in your profile settings.
Why does a card show no price?
Some cards or variants don't yet have price data from our sources. Prices for newer sets or rare variants may take a little time to appear after a set release.
How is my collection value calculated?
Your collection value is the sum of market prices for every card and sealed product you own, using your preferred currency. Graded card prices use dedicated graded-sale data where available. Free users see today’s snapshot value. Lumidex Pro unlocks the full portfolio value history chart so you can see how your collection’s worth has changed over time.
How much price history can I see?
Free users see a 7-day price history chart for every card variant — enough to spot short-term trends. Lumidex Pro extends this to 14-day, 30-day, 90-day, and 1-yearhistory, giving you the full picture of a card’s long-term price movement.
Friends & Trading
How do I add friends?
Go to your Profile and click Find Friends. Search by username and send a friend request. Once the other person accepts, you’ll appear in each other’s friends list.
How does trading work?
Open the Wanted Board to see trade matches with friends. Click Propose Tradenext to a match to open the Trade Hub, choose which cards you’re offering and requesting, add optional notes, and submit. Your friend will receive a notification and can accept or decline.
Can I see which friends own a specific card?
Yes. Open any card modal and click the Friends tab. It shows every friend who owns that card, which variants they have, and a quick "Propose trade" button.
Account & Privacy
Can I make my profile private?
You can control who sees your portfolio value (everyone, friends only, or just you) from your profile Settings. Public friends lists and collection counts are visible by default.
How do I change my username or avatar?
Open your Profile and click the Settings (gear) icon. You can update your display name, username, avatar, and banner from there.
