Reprocessing Cards
Re-run AI identification on cards that were misidentified or need updated data.
Overview
Sometimes RocketAI gets a card wrong — maybe it identified a refractor as a base card, or mixed up two similar-looking players. Reprocessing re-runs the full AI identification pipeline on a card, giving RocketAI a fresh attempt with the same images.
Reprocessing is also useful when RocketAI has been updated with improved models — reprocessing older cards can yield better identifications.
When to Reprocess
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|---|
| AI identified the wrong player or set | Reprocess for a fresh identification |
| Parallel was missed (e.g., refractor detected as base) | Reprocess — the AI may catch it on a second pass |
| Card was uploaded with poor images, but you've since swapped in better photos | Reprocess so the AI analyzes the new images |
| You want to benefit from RocketAI improvements | Bulk reprocess older cards |
| Pricing is stale but identification is correct | Use Refresh Pricing instead (faster, doesn't re-run AI) |
Reprocess vs. Refresh Pricing
Reprocess re-runs the full AI pipeline: OCR, identification, parallel detection, AND pricing. It's a heavier operation. Refresh Pricing only updates the market price without touching the identification. Use this when the card is correctly identified but the price is outdated.
Single-Card Reprocess
Open Card Detail
Navigate to the card you want to reprocess by clicking on it from the Cards page or Needs Review queue.
Click Reprocess
Click the Reprocess button in the card's action bar. The card status changes to Processing while the AI runs.
Review the Result
After 10–30 seconds, the card will be re-identified. If the new identification has high confidence, it goes to Ready for Listing. If not, it returns to Needs Review for your verification.
Tip
Before reprocessing, consider swapping in better images first. Go to the card detail page and use Swap Image to replace a blurry or poorly lit photo. Then reprocess — better input images give better AI results.
Bulk Reprocess
For batch corrections, you can reprocess multiple cards at once:
Select Cards
Go to the Cards page and select the cards you want to reprocess using the checkboxes. You can filter first to narrow down to the cards that need it.
Click Bulk Reprocess
Click Reprocess in the bulk action toolbar. All selected cards enter the processing queue.
Monitor Progress
Cards are processed in the background. You can continue working — the status column updates in real time as each card finishes. A notification appears when the batch is complete.
Review Any Flagged Cards
Cards that come back with low confidence will appear in your Needs Review queue. Check there after the batch completes.
What Changes During Reprocessing
When a card is reprocessed:
- OCR runs again on the original (or swapped) images
- AI identification starts fresh — all metadata fields are re-evaluated
- Parallel detection re-runs with the latest detection models
- Pricing is refreshed based on the new identification
- Previous edits are overwritten — if you manually corrected fields, those changes will be replaced by the new AI result
Manual Edits Are Overwritten
Reprocessing replaces all card metadata with fresh AI results. If you've manually corrected fields (player name, parallel, etc.), those changes will be lost. Only reprocess if you want a completely fresh identification.
Canceling a Reprocess
If you accidentally trigger a bulk reprocess, you can cancel it from the Cards page using the Cancel button that appears in the bulk action bar while processing is underway. Cards that have already completed processing will keep their new identification; only queued cards are canceled.
Common Questions
How many cards can I reprocess at once? Batch sizes follow the same limits as bulk pricing — up to 50 cards on Collector, 500 on Seller, and unlimited on Pro.
Does reprocessing count against my card limit? No. Reprocessing doesn't create new cards — it updates existing ones. Your card count stays the same.
Will reprocessing affect my active eBay listings? Reprocessing updates the card data in RocketVault but does NOT automatically push changes to eBay. You'd need to manually update the listing or use the re-enrich feature to push new titles/descriptions.
