Alt: Buy & Sell Cards Reviews

by JakeD89

Honestly awful app. Seller has zero control over their items and when one of my items sold way below comps I still got hit with a 35% fee. I’ll say that again… A 35% FEE. Additionally the platform isn’t laid out very well and can be confusing at times. Just create your own eBay account you’ll be much better off.

Theo it customer service should be fired

immediately

Complete lack of respect, simpleton at his job, has cost me a ton of money

I’ll be having my entire collection sent to Collector’s Vault. Y’all lost a lot of business when you couldn’t answer simple questions and told me cards were mislabeled when they weren’t.

Auction process is a mess.

I don’t see this company making it in the long run.

Alt requires your social security number… which is terrifying… I would have bought 2-3 cards totaling over $60k but I refuse to give out key information. I’ll stick to eBay

by Happy Meme Salesman

Why would you get rid of the this app value on the listings screen?? The only reason I liked Alt more than other collector apps

by Daserg4242

Alt needs more work with the card scanner. It is not accurate.

Can’t creat an account
Does not read card information

by McCob

They ask you to fill out surveys and promise money in return but never deliver on the money. I don’t like companies that lie to get what they need. But Alt hardly ever worked for what it was needed for anyways so I would stay away from Alt and use others that work well at a more consistent basis.

by Jeffthecardguy1

Alt is crashing every time I press the camera icon to search. I have tried updating, deleting and reinstalling Alt , logging in and out, and even creating a new account. Nothing works. App is now useless to me.

by Bigbunk03

Won’t allow logins. Thought maybe I forgot password, it won’t send me an email to recover password. Tried another email and set another account and it says my account is suspended. No support response.

Cool app like all the data and layout all super easy and looks very good but I am not putting my social security number out why does Alt require one when no other buyer and seller app does very suspicious

by OG_ALBERT23

I would definitely think twice about downloading Alt. Customer service is horrible their database software, which they claim to be state of the art and the leader in the industry, is totally false and misleading. If I could give Alt zero stars I totally would. Customer service says that you should not use this app for buying or determining value on any cards. I had a card that this app told me was worth way more which I overpaid for because I use them because I did believe they were a very reputable source. Turns out customer service said they inputted the information wrong and they missed quoted my cards value. They blame the mistake on a software data error. And they do not want to take responsibility. Frauds cowards use another app.

by Daveygravey

First thing I have to say is I saw there add on instagram and I thought wow it can tell me the value of my cards, that’s great. It doesn’t unless you enter your social security number. Which I refuse to do. Alt has no how to use or tutorial video at all. Software seems like it has great potential just don’t see it yet.

Keeps crashing

by Molfam5

Information this would provide seems very interesting but not proven as of yet. Once I see a lot of good reviews in a row then I’ll think about joining. I’m not sure on services, I don’t know if I like it even when I buy it. Then I heard you got to send money before you do anything. Ill pass. Someone will come up with something free and easy to use that I can try.

by Lordkazekage5

First off they want your Social Security number second off tried 30 different Pokémon cards it couldn’t read any of them then figured maybe I just couldn’t do Pokémon cards so I tried baseball cards and it couldn’t even read any of those out of 10 cards I feel like Alt is just a scam to get your Social Security number

by Alex90990

Great concept terrible execution. Frustrating when trying to set filters that don’t work to find cards you want. Going through 5000 gleybar Torres cards because you are only able to skip one page at a time is quite an experience.

by Anthony Sal

this app provides a great service for scanning and pricing graded cards. However, their service as a buying platform is pretty subpar. I deposited money into my account Sunday and as of Thursday it still has not landed. You need money in your account to make a bid or buy anything listed on the site. This long settlement time, especially compared to other payment services, will lead me to take my buying business elsewhere.

by Mistapotta

Ive tried three times to open the verify link sent to my email. It opens a webpage but Alt continues to say an error occurred. Hard to try it when Alt just doesn’t work.

by Baked_Clam

The update where I need to verify my phone number has broken Alt , can’t do anything without it flashing up 10x a second. Can’t do a thing on Alt anymore.

by Jimmy Sog

New user of Alt and overall, good experience. Couple of suggestions for enhancements:
1. Great to have dual listings with eBay, but need to support all eBay selling options such as auctions and offers
2. Add support for integrations with other marketplaces than just eBay, such as PWCC, Goldin, etc…
3. Allow this app users to message others for negotiation purposes and allow both cash and/or trades
4. The UX when searching via the browse capability is awful-the cursor focus jumps around all over the place and the search should support fuzzy matching
5. Increase marketing efforts to make this app more well know in the industry. Need more users selling via this app vs. external
6. Improve performance, too slow
7. Every card listed should have an this app market price value available which should update in near real-time vs. batch jobs which appears to happen daily

by B.Pfeif

Especially when cards are in cases, I switched to my regular camera app to see if it was my phone but it wasn’t the phone you just can’t focus the camera on Alt

by Mussels01

I don’t understand why SGC cards don’t register when scanned or SGC certification numbers don’t register yet SGC slabs are available for purchase in auction? Once the categories and SGC registry is fixed this will be a great app!

by TaylorR137

My heart fluttered when I saw the feature for using my phones camera to value cards, what a disappointment to find out its only reading text off the grading (none of my cards are graded). If it used photo recognition to match the card (like reverse image search) it’d be amazing.

I also am unable to add to my collection. Nothing happens when i tap the text field on that tab. Why cant i add from the search page?

Why is ungraded not an option, is there no price data for ungraded (but with no blemishes of course) cards?

Very cool app though, hope when I go see a grader these cards get 10s.

by Radmobile...

The instant pricing tool is fantastic, makes scanning slabs and seeing sell history very easy. I would love to buy/sell on the platform but I never give out my full SSN with identity theft being so prevalent for the purpose of buying trading cards. I’m very surprised they ask for it when no other auction house does. If they could verify identity using the last 4 digits of my SSN I’d be completely in, I’m sure others would too.

by MeMikeyE

Alt is amazing in all ways, but the reason why I give Alt a 4 star review is because I was trying to bid on this card and it wanted me to verify myself. So it sent me a email, but it never came to my email. I tried it over and over but it never worked. If this can be fixed I would’ve given it a 5 star.

by SSCcards

Straight to the point. App works great. Does what I need it to do for the most part as far as research goes and seeing who the hot players are.

Issue is that Alt won’t update on its own. Very inconvenient to have to be reminded that Alt has an UPDATE AVAILABLE.

by Notyourdad144

Does this game use real money

by Aged But Fighting

This is one of the most useful tools in card collecting and has changed the game on how efficient I can gain the most recent and pertinent sales and population information

by TheCau5e

Really love the look and am considering sending in some cards to add to my portfolio soon. One thing I would recommend would be horizontal viewing especially on the iPad. Would be huge when I’m checking patterns with my own inventory. Keep up the great work!!!

by ShockTrooper

New version crashes on all of my starred / saved cards when I click on them.

by Ravenchamp2019

After using apps all over Alt Store surrounding Card Collections and tracking the comps, this app is the BEST FREE app by so much!

You can save your searches and see the comps from previous sales so you don’t get ripped off like eBay does; with no comps the prices on eBay and other apps are ridiculous.

this app brings all the cards up for sale across different companies and gives you the real comp!

There are other apps that you have to pay a membership to see the comps. Those business people destroy the hobbie.

Well done this app team for keeping this tools for free and accessible to everyone. LOVE IT!

by Georgesdiner37

this app is the new way to sell and store sports cards. I absolutely love their app layout and functionality!

Makes card buying easy

by Parker Diehl

Great platform 10/10 the only thing I would love to see is to be able to what the cards value would be when raw.

by Ftuytrdttdrsrs

Alt is great but they don’t have a wide range of cards. Otherwise, it’s still a great app 👍

by Semonle

Like the site lay out. Looking forward to sell my Slabs here.

by Bigmike987

Great for buying or selling modern and vintage cards. It’s auction base app that really helps as well on value of your cards graded and non graded raw

by MHodgkinson

Beautiful, data driven site - love the ability to do so much all from one place!

by AneeshS

Love how I can search across all platforms and track my cards in one place. Really low fees and pleasant buying experience as well

by General__VonBeck

If I could give Alt/site 6 out of 5 stars, I would. Selling cards is daunting and this company takes the effort out of it for the user.

by BradJohnson25

this app is hands-down, the best sports card app and marketplace on the Internet. Allows you to easily see recent auction prices aggregated from eBay, heritage, Goldin and others. Also, their liquid auctions consistently carry great selection of both high-end cards as well as more entry level. I also use their vaulting service to store my cards in a safe and insured way.

by Brady Smo

Wish it had prices and comps on raw cards too, not just graded slabs.

by Cpcal22

The functionality of the this app app is second to none. I’ve had cards in several Vaults and the this app portfolio tool is by far the best. It gives me real time value of my cards and they make it super easy to view my cards and list in their auctions. I like how the fixed price listings can be pushed to eBay too.

Alt allows me to search and create saved searches across 15+ marketplaces - not just the this app marketplaces. It’s a huge value add because I always forget when auctions are ending. Now I feel like I never miss anything. The instant pricing tool is helpful at card shows too.

by Neseth

love ALTing cards at shows (when there’s good internet). Best tool for seeing comps. Great auction inventory too

by JohnShovel

this app is a great company with great employees who are true collectors. Prefer them over all the other Auction sites

Great service and card selections!

by Victor3139

This really is the best vault for cards compared to others like the PSA one, PWCC, etc… good functionality, and lots of features as well as good prices. Very low fees!

by Scubasteve954

I was once concerned ab giving them my SS # ….. but I have gotten great deals off this. Bought ab 35k in PSA 10’s of the guys I collect. I also sent them 20 cards to their vault & no issues. No need to be scared peep, it’s mainly for a 1099 maybe. Like I said only bought on this.

by Kawboy718

Alt is, hands down, the best in the field that I’ve used and it can only get better from here. Customer service has always treated me well and I anxiously look forward to what’s to come.

by Needmoregcards23

Finally someone did it right and created an app that works for data congregation and research. Great product love the cards and research functions.

by Madizzleeeeeeee

It’s rare to find an app that makes it actually fun to do something you love like buying cards or investing; this app does both!!

by Kenny Powderz

Very refined and easy to use. Nowhere but up for this company, especially with Kaushik on the team!!

by Tommy Tomcat Clowers

Very good investing app should have more people using it

by Nihha44

It’s everything I need

by Iyffhi

Super useful tool for any level of interest in collecting sports cards.
