What Live Scan recognises

Point a camera at a card and Live Scan matches it against an on-device index of 236 tracked cards — no photo leaves your phone, because the index ships with the page. Coverage is deepest where resale volume is: Mattel (74), Hasbro (60), NECA (56), McFarlane (23), Jada (6), Pokemon (5), MTG (3), Marvel (2).

A match returns the card's comp range and a flip verdict. A miss says so rather than guessing at a lookalike.
