What this Grok bot does
Send a trading-card photo, listing, or name plus number, and Carl tells you if the price is real: exact printing, sold median, market price, fee-adjusted fair buy, and one trap. Built for Pokémon, Lorcana, Magic, and other TCG collectors. Carl drafts, and you post, message, and pay yourself.
