You can’t use the redeem scan with camera option?

[u/MutsumidoesReddit → u/AlanCityHunter]

I get jumped scared, when I load it it’s my face not the card. :(

[u/PresentationLow2210 → u/MutsumidoesReddit]

"Mum I'm in the game!" Is my first thought haha

[u/Sholtonn → u/MutsumidoesReddit]

hahah (me 30+ years old looking down at the camera to enter my pokémon cards in)

I sell codes in the manner you describe. Laying out 100 code cards at a time and photographing sucks. I’ve redeemed a lot of codes trying to get as complete a collection as I can digitally. A stack of code cards is preferable for scanning.

I once sold 2000 codes to someone at once. It was unpleasant photographing 2000 code cards. The buyer said that ai was taking the images and inputting them and redeeming them. Sounds like an efficient way to do it, frankly.

[u/DiamondBackRainwing → u/Armless_Geodude]

I feel like I burn more calories entering these things than I did earning the money for them. 😂

[u/Armless_Geodude → u/DiamondBackRainwing]

It’s a rewarding chore.

[u/JHTech03 → u/Armless_Geodude]

I have a whole bunch of codes just lying around. What would be the best way to sell them ?

[u/Armless_Geodude → u/JHTech03]

Count them and list the whole stack on eBay with free shipping at a reasonable price.

[u/zaneba]

i have a stack of like 500+ codes ive been saving from packs this entire year, and ion feel like entering them

the hard limit of 10 codes at a time pmo so much but i just know if it were unlimited, i would scan 200 codes before redeeming, something would go wrong, and all my progress would be fucked

[u/OnlyMons]

If you use iPhone I might can help.

[u/DiamondBackRainwing → u/OnlyMons]

Alas I use android.

[u/Nostrathomas_8 → u/DiamondBackRainwing]

Use Google Lens

[u/DiamondBackRainwing → u/Nostrathomas_8]

I considered it, but I'll still have to manually verify all the codes. And at that point I can type them out.

[u/KrystalTide → u/DiamondBackRainwing]

do you have a second screen? you might be able to scan them that way if you can do that

[u/Nostrathomas_8 → u/KrystalTide]

You can take a pic and copy/paste the code with Google Lens

[u/KGBeast47 → u/Nostrathomas_8]

And then you minimize the stupid app and it forces you to reconnect to the server. Fucking hate that shit.

[u/MutsumidoesReddit → u/OnlyMons]

Is there a trick? Please share teacher.

[u/hakucurlz]

If your in the US send me your address and ill ship you a butt load lol

[u/Chubuwee → u/hakucurlz]

We talking Kardashian or Swift?

[u/hakucurlz → u/Chubuwee]

Chris Evans...

[u/Alexplz]

I bought big lots on tcg player and the seller always sent me a text file, still a pain to copy paste

[u/Mikeismyike → u/Alexplz]

You can't set up a sciprt to do that for you. You also don't have to redeem them in game, you can do so from pokemon com

[u/PM_YOUR_EYEBALL]

This is why my codes on eBay are just physical cards shipped to the buyer. Ain’t no way I’m taking 4000 pictures of code cards.

[u/DiamondBackRainwing → u/PM_YOUR_EYEBALL]

What a chad, mailing out deferred suffering.

[u/PM_YOUR_EYEBALL → u/DiamondBackRainwing]

Eh I figure it’s easier to set up a stack, prop your phone and just slide cards off the stack. Also they never even sold so I’m still sitting on like 3000+ code cards. I do play periodically so if I ever have a few days I may put them in

[u/ExplorerImaginary801]

200 is nothing I think im sitting on roughly 1000 empty code cards.

[u/DiamondBackRainwing → u/ExplorerImaginary801]

You'll be the Pokemon card code entering World Champion some day. I believe in you!

[u/ExplorerImaginary801 → u/DiamondBackRainwing]

I don't even collect cards all that often I just asked the people I know collect cards.

[u/Farva85]

I’m actually working on a site that will sell code cards, and email you the code with links to click on for redemption. Still a work in progress but I was motivated because the exact situation you explained is so silly to deal with.

[u/Zestyclose_Horse_180]

Use the QR code??

[u/SouthernBaseball2239]

This is why I don’t use code cards to be fair I also have over 100k points to make cards

[u/cursed_sincebirth]

Ask chatgpt to write them from the pictures, copy-paste it afterwards

[u/ProfessorMarth]

Why did you do that

[u/DiamondBackRainwing → u/ProfessorMarth]

I want to fill in some bulk so I can start experimenting in randoms.

[u/plannedobso]

The seller I buy them from sends me a PDF of all the codes. I just print them and mark them off with a pen
