Beekn is built for one job: getting you to the card first. It's not a price guide, grading service or marketplace.
Save what you're chasing once and Beekn watches eBay, Fanatics Collect, Goldin and independent card shop fronts for you. Matches land in your Inbox — instant, daily or weekly, your call — with auction or Buy It Now, bids, watchers and ending times.
Snap a photo or upload one from your library. Beekn identifies the year, set, card number, player or character and rookie status, suggests precise keywords and sister parallels, and links real manufacturer pack odds. One tap turns it into a live radar or a search of what's listed right now. No valuations, no grade guesses.
Follow the eBay sellers and specialist shops you trust. When they list something new, it shows up in your Inbox and on your Home radar — so you see fresh inventory before it's picked over.
Reprints, customs, digital cards, box breaks and "you pick" lots are filtered out automatically — unless your alert asks for them. No complicated minus-keyword strings required.
Follow a whole checklist in one tap — from 1984–85 Star Basketball to 2026 Topps Chrome F1. See live supply across every card in the set, plus a custom-alert shortcut when you want something narrower.
Add your ZIP and Home highlights card shows within 75 miles over the next three weeks, with a "This weekend" tag so you never miss one close by.
Post a bounty for a chase card, share what you're bringing to a show, or ask the community a question. Publish a shareable want list anyone can view, and let collectors who hold your card message you directly.
A swipeable feed of hobby headlines from trusted sources — theft and fraud warnings, checklist drops and release news — refreshed automatically and kept short.
Keep a private list of what you own with CSV import. Plus, no account needed: the card show calendar, grading directory, pack odds from manufacturer sheets, counterfeit red flags and a hobby glossary.
Saved searches and price apps do their own jobs well. Beekn is built only for the hunt.

Yes. Scout, our free plan, stays free — no card, no trial clock. It carries 5 keyword alerts and 5 want lists. A paid plan called Signal is coming soon for collectors who need more than that, but nothing is priced or published yet.
Four sources are live: eBay, Fanatics Collect, Goldin, and independent card shop fronts we ingest directly (those are individual shops, not a marketplace).
We notify you the moment we catch a match on a scan cycle. In practice, that means minutes, not hours — eBay is scanned on a rolling cycle every 15 minutes, so a new eBay match typically reaches you within that window. We won't quote a guaranteed delivery time we can't hold to, but if you're used to eBay's daily email digests, the difference is night and day.
Yes. Beekn is built by a collector of 30+ years who got tired of alert tools that vanished. There's a public roadmap we ship against every week, and our rule is simple: under-promise, over-deliver.
You control the frequency: instant, a daily digest, a weekly digest, or off entirely, from Profile → Notifications. Change it whenever the chase heats up or cools off.
Collectors chasing specific cards — completionists finishing a set and people hunting one grail — plus dealers sourcing inventory, breakers tracking sealed product drops, and resellers watching for underpriced listings.
