You don't need to scan every card. You can search Cubbby's card catalog and add cards manually at any time.
How to add manually
- Tap + Add Cards from your inventory or dashboard
- Select Search instead of scanning
- Type the player name, year, or set name
- Browse the results and select the correct card
- Set the grade, purchase price, and binder (optional)
- Tap Save
Search tips
- Be specific. "2023 Topps Chrome Aaron Judge" will give better results than just "Judge"
- Include the year. Helps narrow results, especially for players with cards across many years
- Try the card number. If you know it, searching "#87" along with the set name can find exact matches
- Use set names. "Prizm", "Chrome", "Select" helps filter to the right product
When to add manually
Manual adding is useful when:
- Cards are difficult to scan (very old, damaged, or in thick protective cases)
- You own cards but don't have them with you right now
- You're building out your collection list before physically scanning each card
- The AI scan returned results but you can't find the exact match
Uploading a card image
After adding a card manually, you can upload a photo of your specific card from the card detail page. This is optional but helps you visually identify cards in your collection.
Does manual adding use a scan?
No. Manually searching and adding a card does not use one of your scan credits. Scans are only used when you use the camera to photograph a card.
