The short answer
Pick CollX if you want to scan a big pile of cards, see a value and sell them inside the app. Pick Midpoint if you want to know what grade a card could get before you pay to grade it: CollX says in its own FAQ that it does not assess condition, while Midpoint measures centering and estimates the grade from your photos.
Choose CollX if
- You want to buy and sell cards inside the app
- You need a 20+ million card database with deep parallel matching
- You want slab certificates verified with PSA, SGC and CGC
Choose Midpoint if
- You want centering measured and a grade estimate before submitting
- You want the raw and graded price side by side to see if grading pays
- You want to scan a whole binder page in one photo

Switching to Midpoint
CollX Pro exports a CSV with prices and image links. Midpoint has no CSV import yet. The quickest way to move a collection is Bulk → Multiple Cards: photograph each binder page (or a scanner bed of cards) and Midpoint finds every card, identifies it and adds it to your portfolio with its price.
Questions
Can CollX tell me what grade my card will get?
No. CollX’s FAQ says it does not assess the condition of cards. Midpoint estimates PSA, BGS, CGC and TAG grades from front and back photos and measures centering.
Which is better for selling cards?
CollX: it has a marketplace built into the app with a 10% seller commission. Midpoint does not sell cards; it links to live eBay listings.
