How to Update a Pokemon Card Variant in Eyevo

By Eyevo Team

The scanner can’t always tell a holo from a reverse holo from a glossy normal in bad lighting. That’s fine — fixing it takes one tap. This is the practical walkthrough.

The three places you can change a variant

1. Right after scanning (the drawer)

The scanner drawer shows every card you just scanned with a variant chip on each row. Tap the chip, pick the right variant, done. The price updates instantly. The AR overlay re-renders with the new price. If you add the card to a collection, it saves with the correct variant already set.

2. From the collection list (long-press)

Long-press any card in your collection → Change Variant → pick the right one. The collection row, the pricing, and every scanned entry linked to this card all sync.

3. In the card detail sheet

Open any card. Tap a price to cycle variants directly — holo, reverse, 1st edition, PSA. The card detail is variant-aware: when you change the variant, the whole sheet reflects it.

Why it matters for your portfolio

  • Holo-only cards no longer get under-counted as normals.
  • PSA slabs show graded comps, not raw.
  • 1st edition vintage finally gets the multiplier it deserves.
  • Reverse holos in modern sets stop disappearing into the noise.

When the scanner guesses wrong

Usually:

  1. Low light — reflective foil patterns don’t register cleanly.
  2. Sleeved cards — the sleeve glare confuses the camera.
  3. Trick printings — cosmos holo vs standard holo on the same set.

All three are fixable in under two seconds with the drawer picker.
