Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CollectorStream
Getting Started
What is CollectorStream?
CollectorStream is a sports card portfolio management platform that combines mock draft intelligence with AI-powered card scanning. We help collectors and investors make smarter decisions by tracking draft prospects before the market catches on.
Is CollectorStream free?
Yes! CollectorStream is currently free to use. All core features including draft boards, card scanning, and portfolio tracking are available at no cost. We may introduce premium features in the future, but the free tier will always exist.
Which sports are supported?
We cover all major sports: WNBA, NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL. Our draft boards aggregate mock drafts from dozens of sources across all these sports.
Draft Boards & Mock Drafts
How often are draft boards updated?
Daily! We continuously aggregate new mock drafts from ESPN, The Athletic, Sports Illustrated, and other major sources. When draft season heats up, we update multiple times per day.
What is the "Draft Gap"?
The Draft Gap is the difference between a player's rising draft stock and their current card market price. When a player moves up in mocks but their cards haven't increased yet, that's an opportunity. Our system automatically identifies these gaps.
Can I trust mock draft predictions?
Mock drafts are predictions, not guarantees. However, they're created by professional scouts and analysts with inside information. Historically, top-10 picks in major sports have a strong correlation between mock position and actual draft position. Use mocks as one input in your investment decisions, not the only input.
Card Scanning & Portfolio
How does the AI card scanner work?
Point your phone camera at any sports card, and our AI instantly recognizes the player, year, set, brand, and card number. The technology uses advanced computer vision and is trained on millions of sports cards from the 1950s to present.
What card brands does it recognize?
We recognize all major brands: Panini, Topps, Upper Deck, Bowman, Prizm, Donruss, Fleer, Score, and many more. If it's a mainstream sports card from 1950-2026, we can likely identify it.
Can I track card values over time?
Yes! Every card in your portfolio shows real-time market value, purchase price, profit/loss, and historical price trends. You'll see exactly how your investment is performing.
Is my card collection private?
Absolutely. Your collection is private and only visible to you. We never share your collection data with other users or third parties.
Market Data & Pricing
Where do card prices come from?
We aggregate market data from eBay sold listings, PWCC Marketplace, COMC, and other major marketplaces. Prices represent the average recent selling price for each card in similar condition.
Are price estimates guaranteed accurate?
No. Card prices fluctuate constantly based on player performance, market sentiment, and supply/demand. We provide estimates based on recent sales data, but actual prices may vary. Always verify current market prices before buying or selling.
Account & Privacy
