Last night we had an amazing turnout at our unofficial Pokémon trading meetup to celebrate Pokemon Day! A few highlights:
✅ 50+ trades completed 🔄
✅ Kids used my AI-powered Trading Analyzer for most of them!
✅ Increased trade fairness & confidence—no one left feeling like they got a bad deal!
How It Works: AI-Powered Trade Analysis
I built a Trading Analyzer AI that compares Pokémon card trades in real time, using:
📊 Market Data – Pulls live pricing from eBay Sold Listings, TCGPlayer, and Japanese marketplaces.
🛠 Trade Fairness Logic – Evaluates trades based on raw value, long-term collectibility, and PSA grading potential.
📈 AI-Driven Predictions – Identifies cards that gain or lose value over time, favoring high-demand Pokémon (Eeveelutions, Charizard, Pikachu, Mewtwo, etc.).
🔍 Accuracy Rate: 85-90% in matching fair trades (based on post-trade price checks)

Been awhile since I've posted. Been heads down tinkering with AI use cases for The Hobby. Check out one of my latest ones here:

Can AI Help us grade our cards?? Yes it can. We talk with the CEO of ShoeBox AI Grading on where the tech is today and tomorrow. Plus we talk conspiracy theories on the Paul Skenes card on the latest episode of “Sports Card Madness”

I know the guys who are behind what could be the coolest AI Bot that I’ve ever engaged with. You ask CHCK.AI anything collectibles related and it’ll provide a response within seconds. These same friends created Shoebox, an AI grading technology. Simply scan and grade. The two can been seen below. Let me know if you think companies like this will change the collectibles game for the better.

I had ChatGPT make and image that combines philately and anatomy. Here’s the result.
How are you using AI in your personally / professional / hobby life?
