Getting Started ​

Rarebox works in any modern browser — no installation required. Open rarebox.io and you're ready to go.

First Visit ​

New users see a landing page with feature highlights and a call to action. Once you add your first item, you'll go straight to the dashboard on future visits.

Adding Your First Card ​

  1. Click Search in the navigation
  2. Type a card name (e.g., "Charizard ex")
  3. Browse results — each card shows its image and current TCGPlayer market price
  4. Click Add to add it to your active portfolio
  5. Enter the price you paid (cost basis) and quantity

The card now appears in your portfolio with live market value, gain/loss, and percentage change.

Adding Sealed Products ​

  1. From the dashboard, click Add Item
  2. Switch to the Sealed tab
  3. Search for a product (e.g., "Obsidian Flames Booster Box")
  4. Prices and images are fetched from PriceCharting
  5. Enter your cost basis and add to portfolio

Adding Graded Slabs ​

  1. From Add Item, switch to the Graded tab
  2. Search for the card
  3. Select the grading company (PSA / BGS / CGC / ACE) and grade
  4. Grade-specific pricing is pulled from PriceCharting

Creating Multiple Portfolios ​

You might want separate portfolios for different purposes — one for your personal collection, one for investment holds, one for cards you're considering selling.

Click the portfolio name dropdown to create new portfolios. Each gets its own name, color, and independent value chart.

Bulk Import ​

Have a PTCGL or PTCGO deck list? Paste the entire list into the Bulk Import tool and add all cards at once. The importer matches card names and set codes to the pokemontcg.io database.

Installing as an App ​

Rarebox is a PWA (Progressive Web App) and can be installed on your home screen:

  • Android: Chrome will show a native install prompt. Tap "Add to Home Screen."
  • iOS: In Safari, tap Share → "Add to Home Screen." Rarebox shows a step-by-step guide for this.

Once installed, it runs as a standalone app without the browser chrome.
