HOW IT WORKS

From sealed box to full rip history.

Built for collectors who want to know what they pulled, what they spent, and how their collection is performing.

📦

1. Pick your set and format

Find a release, choose Hobby, Mega, Blaster, Hanger, or another available format, and enter what you paid.

🃏

2. Rip your way

Log cards individually by default or choose optional pack-by-pack tracking to record which pack each hit came from.

🔎

3. Search and scan pulls

Identify cards with text search or front-and-back camera recognition, then compare available recent US sold sales.

📈

4. Understand your performance

WaxIQ's proprietary analytics approach brings your entered costs, recorded pulls, and supported sale comparisons into a consistent view.

📚

5. Build your history

Reopen saved rips, see estimated value over time, and organize cards you choose to keep in your personal collection.

🧪

6. Help shape the beta

Request missing sets, report bad card matches, and give direct feedback as WaxIQ expands its catalog.

How WaxIQ Values It

Pricing logic
Exact-match priority1
Exact card, parallel, numbering, grade, and sale condition are weighted highest.
Recency weighting2
More recent verified sales carry more weight than older transactions.
Outlier review3
Abnormally high/low sales can be excluded or shown separately instead of distorting P&L.

Step 1

Choose your sealed product

Search or scan
Choose a set, then pick the sealed format in the next menu. The box is used for your rip cost and analytics. It no longer limits which cards you can search or log. Can't find your box? .
Off by default — otherwise log cards normally.
Barcode Photo

Photograph the barcode.

Open the camera in a separate popup, take one clear photo of the UPC/EAN, and WaxIQ will identify the sealed product.

Keep the barcode and printed numbers in frame.
WaxIQ Camera Flow

Box → Live Rip → Scan cards

BETA

Once the box is confirmed, WaxIQ opens the Live Rip. Scan each card with your camera: front only is fastest, front + back gets numbered cards and look-alike versions right.

How it looks over your video

Add it to your stream

Paste a link into your streaming app. The background is already see-through, so no green screen is needed. Use one link for everything, or one per widget to place them separately.
Setup steps for your platform

Whatnot (streaming from OBS): add a Browser source, paste the link, size it 400 × 640 and place it on your 1080 × 1920 vertical canvas. Choose the Tall shape above.

TikTok LIVE Studio (computer): + Add Source → Link, paste the link, then move and resize it in the vertical scene.

YouTube or Twitch (OBS or Streamlabs): add a Browser source, paste the link, size it 700 × 360 and pick the Wide shape.

Recorded TikTok or YouTube videos: turn on “Record this rip for content” when you start the rip. Afterward, Content rips has the result card, recap video and a clip for every big hit, ready to drop into your edit. Recording in OBS with the overlay on also works.

Going live from the TikTok or Whatnot phone app only: phone apps can't show overlays. Stream from a computer to use one.

Logging cards while you stream: if your phone is the stream camera, log cards on a second phone or tablet (same WaxIQ login), or type them in on the computer. They pop up on stream in under a second.

Suggested source size: 400 × 640 for tall, 700 × 360 for wide. Keep these links private: anyone with one can show your overlay.

Community

Published rip snapshots are locked at the moment they are posted so users cannot change the box cost or pulls afterward.

Full Pull Universe

A box is tester-visible only after its card checklist AND exact-box parallel/variation matrix pass.
The audit checks every checklist family, parallel, serial level, and exact box eligibility. Incomplete boxes stay hidden.

Provider Bake-Off

10 truly random clean card/variation combinations. Card Hedge uses AI matching; The Card API now uses release → checklist → exact card-number matching.
EXACT requires player, card number, variation and serial to agree. Each provider is tested using its strongest native lookup workflow.

Catalog Discovery

The Card API is the bulk release-family source; Card Hedge cross-checks those families. Exact Fat Pack/Hobby/Mega/etc. formats are kept separate because neither API is a complete sealed-SKU database.
The Live Rip product search now queries WaxIQ + The Card API + Card Hedge live, even before a family is imported locally.

Checklist Importer

Finds checklists on Topps, Upper Deck, Leaf, Panini and Checklist Insider, reads PDFs, spreadsheets and web pages, and saves every base card, insert, autograph, short print and parallel to WaxIQ's own database. Imports only add data: no box is enabled for Live Rip by an import, and audited boxes are never changed.
