ISO Card Finder

Hunting for a card you can't find? Tell us what's on your list and we'll do the searching. ISO stands for "in search of", and that's what this is: Sprunger Originals searches the sites you don't have time to check, and we check every match ourselves — including against our Lost & Stolen registry — before it reaches your inbox.

For sports cards, Pokémon cards and TV and movie cards: single cards, complete sets and uncut printed sheets.

What you get that a saved search doesn't

• Our search runs automatically across 30+ sources, and we check every match ourselves before it reaches you. We look at condition, fakes and stolen cards (our Lost & Stolen registry). If a listing matches the registry, we won't recommend it, and we handle it privately.
• Every match is screened. We check that it's the right card: the right year, card number and variation (including corrected and error versions), and the right printer, for example O-Pee-Chee versus Topps. We look at whether the condition in the photos matches the description, and we flag red flags for trimmed, altered or fake cards.

Where we search

We search 30+ sources across marketplaces, auction houses, dealers, card shops and collector communities in Canada and the US.

• We don't search Facebook Marketplace or Facebook Groups, as transactions on that platform can be high risk of scams.

We only search public pages. We never sign in, bid, message sellers or buy on your behalf.

How it works

1. Choose your search. Pick the ISO type, the era (by the year the card was printed) and how often we search. One search covers one era.
2. Send your list. The form is right on this page, below the options. It appears when you pick a search size: fill in one row per card, or use the CSV or Excel upload button in the same spot. This is all on this page, before Add to cart. Please double-check your list: it can't be changed after purchase.
3. We search and screen. The first search runs as soon as your order is confirmed, and the first results email follows that search. Searching then continues on the schedule you picked (weekly on Mondays, daily, or twice a day) and runs for six months.
4. You get updates by email. Your first results come right after you order. After that, weekly searches get an update every Monday, and daily and twice-a-day searches get an email whenever we find something new. Each update lists the seller's name, a link to the listing, the price and our screening notes. A seller's phone number or email is only included when the seller has posted it publicly.
5. You decide. You deal with the seller directly. We don't buy, bid or negotiate for you, and we don't take a cut.

The three ISO types

Single cards (One card, or Up to 10 cards)

Tell us the card type (sports, Pokémon, TV/movie or other), year or season, printer or manufacturer, card number, variation number if there is one (for example the TCDB variation for a corrected or error card), the subject (player, character, checklist and so on), team if applicable, the condition you want (PSA 1–10, or Good, Fair, Near Mint or Mint), your budget, graded or raw (and which grading company), autograph yes or no, and Canadian or American issue.

Complete set

Card type, year or season, printer or manufacturer, whether to include inserts, condition, budget, graded or raw, and Canadian or American issue.

Printed sheet

Uncut printed sheets of 132 cards. One search covers up to 3 sheets from the same set, for example all 3 sheets of a 396-card set like 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee hockey. Tell us the year or season, printer, which sheets, the condition you'll accept (uncut, any damage), budget and Canadian or American issue. Sheets come up rarely and sell fast, so we recommend daily or twice-a-day searching.

Pricing (CAD, six months of searching)

The era is set by the year the card was printed: Modern is 2000 and later, Junk-wax is 1981 to 1999 and Vintage is 1980 and earlier. Each search covers one era, so every card on your list has to be from that era. Looking for cards from different eras? Place a separate order for each era.

Daily searching costs about 1.5 times the weekly price, and twice a day about double. Choose your options above to see the exact price. For example, a vintage printed sheet search (up to 3 sheets) is $39.99 weekly, $59.99 daily or $79.99 twice a day.

Renewals

Every search runs for six months. Before it ends, we'll email you a renewal code: returning ISO customers get 25% off their next ISO search.

Your list is final

We start searching as soon as your order is confirmed, so your list can't be changed after purchase: no swaps, additions or edits. Please double-check every card before you add it to your cart. Want to search for other cards? Place a new order.

Protect yourself when you buy

Found the card, but not sure about the seller? Have them checked with Seller Verification or Pre-Paid Verification before you pay. Once the card is yours, give it a Trading Card Digital Twin so it's in the Lost & Stolen registry if it ever goes missing.

We can't promise a card will turn up within your six months, and we don't guarantee any listing, seller or price. Screening is a photo-based review of the listing, not an authentication of the card or autograph, and no COA is issued. Some alterations, such as trimming, pressed creases or recolouring, can't be reliably detected from photos. Any purchase is between you and the seller.
