### 5/5 — No better tool for vendors

*2026-10-29*

CardForge revolutionized the way I vend. It has allowed me to provide better service - faster, become more profitable, organized, and offer a clean professional look at my tables. If you are using a pen and stickers or find yourself winging it at your shows, now is the time to make a change, you’ll notice it, and so will your customers.

### 4/5 — Great App for Vendors

*2026-10-27*

Went in on this at the start and they have made a lot of good changes and are growing all of the time. It helps our vending days a lot and love that we can scan our inventory to see exactly what we have. Pricing seems consistent with Collectr and TCGPlayer. They’ve added a lot of great features and adding more card categories all of the time.

### 1/5 — Early review

*2026-09-28*

Awesome concept needs some serious work

### 1/5 — Customer service horrible

*2026-09-22*

I signed up and it doesn’t work as advertised. When I contacted customer service I got blocked on Facebook and no return to my emails. Buyer beware.

### 2/5 — Promising but leaves much to be desired

*2026-08-27*

I subscribed for a whole year but the scanning is terrible, you can’t set for the pricing to be based on TCGPlayer only, it takes data from both EBay and TCG Player even though eBay sales can be all over the place based on misnamed listings. You can’t add cards based on the set even though the search feature doesn’t always work. And adding the collector number of the card makes the search think you’re looking for sports cards. They just started so hopefully they fix a lot of these issues but it should still be in beta mode if I’m being honest.

### 1/5 — Got the year subscription and it’s horrible

*2026-08-24*

Doesn’t work as advertised and won’t refund your money. Only recognizes half the cards you scan in, prices are correct. Graded cards comped low with old data

### 1/5 — Missing Data

*2026-08-20*

I was going to subscribe to this app to track the value of my collection of baseball cards, but it is missing too much data. For example I entered a PSA cert into it and it showed me what the card was and verified the cert - but wouldn’t let me at it to my portfolio or show me any pricing data on it. 

Pass for now. Maybe once the app has better support I’ll try it again.

### 5/5 — Davy DE

*2026-07-23*

Great product and awesome support! Always adding new features and making the product even greater! Saves my team hours every week!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-07-11*

Great app, love the printing! Makes life much easier. Only issue I have is that once I scan my cards in it takes a long time to load in

### 1.3.5 — 2026-11-05

Transactions
- Log every sale, buy, trade and expense at your booth, and see where your money and cards went
- Scan a label or a card while you negotiate to see the lowest price that still makes your margin
- Void or edit a transaction if you got it wrong
- New cards now need a cost when you add them ($0 is fine), so your profit is always accurate

Scanning
- See your Buy % and Trade % amounts while you scan, using the percentages from the Calculator
- Set the condition once for a whole Scan to Print batch
- A spinner shows while a scanned card's price is still loading

Prices & Portfolio

Printing
- Give your printer a nickname so you can tell it apart from others nearby. Only you see the nickname, on your phone. Other vendors still see the printer's original name

Fixes

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-13

Better Prices

Cards We Can't Price
- A new screen gathers every card we can't put a price on, grouped by what each one needs
- Set a price on a whole group at once, instead of hunting them down card by card
- Cards with no price are shown as unpriced rather than counted as $0, so your total is honest

Scanning
- Scan a slab and we identify the slab itself, not just the card inside it
- Faster, more accurate matches on cards and parallels

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-25

Scannable Card Pages
- Label QR codes now open a card page — a customer can scan a sticker with their phone camera and see the card, your asking price and its market value, with or without the app installed
- The price on the page is locked to the price you printed, so it can never disagree with the sticker in their hand
- You stay in control — turn public card pages off anytime in Settings

Stock Scanner
- The sold scanner is now Sell, Add and Remove — sweep your camera over labels to mark cards sold, restock copies, or pull copies off the shelf
- Add and Remove only change how many you have — no sale is recorded and your profit is untouched
- Undo brings a removed card back with its original label still working

Sales by Show
- Start a show and every card you sell is filed under it automatically
- See what each show actually made — sold minus what you paid, plus your booth cost
- File past sales under a show after the fact, and set the cost on sold cards in bulk
- Exports now include a Show column

Scanning
- Noticeably faster scanning — cards identify sooner after the shutter
