🟢search_cards(query, category, limit)
Find a sports or trading card and its current sold price. Describe the card the way a collector would, for example "1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr 1", "2018 Topps Update Acuna US250" or "Charizard Base Set". Returns up to 5 matching cards with the raw (ungraded) and PSA 10 price, a card_id, and the link to the card page. Use get_card_prices for every grade of one card. Needs a HobbyCardIndex API key.
