Maine-based startup opens early access to developers and strategic partners, delivering accurate trading card identification API with baseball card coverage

We're placing our bet on the belief that with today's advancements in AI, anyone with a great idea is now enabled to be a builder—and we want to provide the infrastructure that makes that possible.”

PORTLAND, ME, UNITED STATES, November 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CardSight AI, Inc. today announced the launch of its invite-only beta program, offering app developers and strategic partners early access to the company's AI-powered trading card identification and data platform. The API delivers visual card identification and catalog data designed to power the next generation of collecting applications.

Built on advanced computer vision and generative AI technology, CardSight AI provides enterprise-grade card identification capabilities that previously required millions in development costs and years of specialized expertise. The platform's visual identification achieves 99.5% accuracy across more than 1,500 distinct baseball card sets from 1934 to present, while the catalog database contains detailed data for over 3 million cards including all parallels and variations.

"Modern AI has reached an inflection point where technology that once required massive teams and budgets can now be accessible to anyone with a great idea," said Eric Nusbaum, CEO and Co-Founder of CardSight AI. "Our visual identification technology can recognize cards across over 1,500 distinct sets, including sophisticated parallel identification that's essential for serious collectors. Combined with our comprehensive catalog data covering 3 million cards, we're putting industry-leading capabilities into the hands of every developer and entrepreneur. We're placing our bet on the belief that with today's advancements in AI, anyone with a great idea is now enabled to be a builder—and we want to provide the infrastructure that makes that possible."

The beta program targets app developers building new collecting tools, existing apps and marketplaces seeking to enhance their offerings with automated card identification while reducing development costs, and sports card publishers interested in making their catalogs more discoverable. CardSight AI's developer-first approach includes REST APIs with full OpenAPI specifications, native SDKs across multiple languages, and comprehensive documentation for rapid integration.

Key Platform Capabilities:
* Visual Identification: 99.5% mAP accuracy with sub-second response times, supporting multi-card detection, graded slabs, and real-world lighting conditions
* Comprehensive Catalog: 3M+ baseball cards spanning every major brand and manufacturer from 1934 to present
* AI-Native Integration: Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoints enabling Claude and ChatGPT to understand and work with trading card data
* Developer Experience: Native SDKs for Node.js, Python, Swift, Java, and .NET, plus complete Swagger documentation

CardSight AI has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception program, which supports startups revolutionizing industries through AI and computer vision. The company's infrastructure-first positioning emphasizes accessibility and developer experience, with pricing designed to support builders from individual hobbyists to enterprise platforms.

"The collecting space has incredible innovation happening at the investment and portfolio management level," Nusbaum continued. "Our goal isn't to compete with existing platforms—it's to give them the infrastructure to do even more. Whether you're an established app looking to add visual identification without building an AI team, or someone with a completely new idea for serving collectors, we want to provide the technology layer that makes it possible. When platforms can focus on their unique value rather than rebuilding foundational technology, everyone benefits."

The beta program begins with comprehensive baseball card coverage, with basketball, football, and Pokemon TCG support planned for future releases. All expansions will be available to existing API customers at no additional cost, ensuring applications built today automatically gain new capabilities as the platform grows.
