Balanced trade meter
A simple visual meter tells you if a trade is equal, slightly tilted, or heavily lopsided, giving kids and parents confidence before agreeing.
Fair Trade Meter · Schoolyard & Club Protection
Fair card trades without the guesswork.
Trading cards should be fun, not stressful. The Fair Trade Meter puts your cards on the left and their cards on the right, factoring in condition (Near Mint vs. Lightly Played) and finish variants so friends, parents, and collectors make sure every deal is fair before shaking hands.

Finish-aware prices
Stops people from offering a $2 plain copy in exchange for a $20 reverse holo or promo stamped card with the same artwork.
Protection from sharks
Kids can quickly show the trade screen to parents or store judges to verify that older players aren't taking advantage of them with lopsided trades.
Condition adjustments
Toggle between Near Mint, Lightly Played, and Played to reflect real physical wear instead of assuming every card in a backpack is pack-fresh.
Everyday trade stories
No schoolyard tears
A classmate offered 10 common cards for a shiny Gold Pikachu. FoilFox showed $1.50 vs $28.00. That single screen saved a young collector from a heartbreaking trade.
Clean trade night swaps
At a Friday card shop trade night, two friends traded three $8 cards for one $24 card. Both could see the math right on screen—zero debate, just happy collectors.
Condition checking
FoilFox prompts traders to look for edge whitening or surface scratches before locking in a trade value, teaching kids how condition affects real card worth.
