One collectible database for trading cards, Funko Pops, vinyl, and more
Most collection trackers pick one hobby and bolt everything else on as an afterthought. Shelf Life treats trading cards, Funko Pops, vinyl records, and six other collectible types as first-class citizens — each with fields actually built for it, not a generic catch-all form.
Trading cards, Funko Pops, vinyl records, comics, books, DVDs, VHS, CDs, and video games — set/expansion, card number, and grade for cards; series/line and Pop! # for Funko; artist, label, format, and pressing for vinyl. Not one generic form pretending to fit everything.
For Pokémon trading cards specifically, "See master set" pulls a genuine per-set checklist from TCGdex — including which cards have Reverse Holo, Holo, or 1st Edition prints — not just a guess built from what other Shelf Life users happen to have logged.
Mark a Funko Pop as a Chase, or a trading card as a parallel/insert, with a details field for what makes it special (glow-in-the-dark, gold refractor /50, whatever it is) — distinct from your regular copy on your shelf.
Type a card name and Search looks it up against free Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering databases to fill in set, card number, cover art, and publisher.
Check current eBay asking prices for any item with one click — current active listings, not a guaranteed sale price, but a real read on what something's going for right now.
A public profile showing your full collection across every type, a leaderboard, trophies for real milestones, and a shelf mosaic view — or keep it all private.
Frequently asked
Does it support Pokémon cards specifically?
Yes — "See master set" on a Pokémon trading card pulls a real per-set, per-variant checklist from TCGdex's database, not just a crowdsourced guess from other users' collections.
Can I track Funko Pop chase variants?
Yes — mark a Pop as a Chase/special variant and note what makes it one, so it shows as a distinct entry from your regular copy.
What collectible types does Shelf Life actually support?
Video games, comics, trading cards, vinyl records, books, DVDs/Blu-rays, VHS, CDs, consoles, and Funko Pops — nine types, each with its own tailored fields.
Is my collection private by default, or public?
You choose — every collection can be public (shows on your profile and the leaderboard) or private, and you can change it any time in Profile Settings.
