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 Use this when the card is correctly identified but the price is outdated.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
Step 01
Open Card Detail
Navigate to the card you want to reprocess by clicking on it from the Available tab. Filter to Needs Attention to find cards that hit a review threshold.
Step 02
Click Reprocess
Click the Reprocess button in the right-side action column on the card detail page. The card status changes to Processing while the AI runs.
Step 03
Review the Result
After 10–30 seconds, the card will be re-identified. If the new identification has high confidence, it transitions to Ready. If not, it stays on the Available tab with an attention chip flagging the unresolved fields.
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:
Step 01
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.
Step 02
Click Bulk Reprocess
Click Reprocess in the bulk action toolbar (it pins to the top of the viewport while you scroll). All selected cards enter the processing queue.
Step 03
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.
Step 04
Review Any Flagged Cards
Cards that come back with unresolved review reasons keep their attention chip on the Available tab. Filter to Needs Attention after the batch completes to triage them.
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 AVAILABLE tab using the Cancel button that appears in the pinned bulk action toolbar while processing is underway. Cards that have already completed processing 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.
