OmiWhy Japanese cards need their own price
Japanese sets have different print runs, set codes and card numbers, and many cards are released in Japan first. Buyers pay different amounts for them, so matching a Japanese card to the English price usually gives the wrong value.
How to check a Japanese card’s value with Omi
- Scan the card. Omi identifies the card and its language from the photo, no typing set codes.
- Read the Japanese price. Omi shows dedicated prices for Japanese cards, separate from English ones.
- Compare with other prints. Tap the flag to see the English, Korean and European prints of the same card with their prices.
Who it is best for
Omi fits Pokémon collectors on iPhone who own Japanese or other non-English cards. If you collect several card games or need Android, a multi-game app such as Collectr is a better fit; see Omi vs Collectr.
