Private beta · Invites in small waves

From shoebox
to sold.

You have cards. Buyers have money. Everything in between — identifying, pricing, photographing, writing, listing, promoting, shipping — is the part that eats your nights.

Cardrama runs that part.

Every card starts somewhere

Four beginnings. One ending.

Nobody's collection starts in a spreadsheet. It starts in a closet, at a table, or on a live break at eleven at night. Cardrama picks it up wherever it actually begins.

The shoebox

Twelve hundred cards. No idea what's in there.

Scan a stack, or point Cardrama at your document scanner's folder and go make coffee. New photos come in on their own, get identified, priced, and land in your inventory ready to list.

The show floor

A card in your hand and thirty seconds to decide.

Snap it on your phone right at the table. The phone reads the player, year, brand, set, and sport, and gives you a price on the spot — so you know before you hand over the cash.

By the time you're home, it's already on the PC waiting for you.

The pull

Break night. The hits keep coming.

Nobody wants to stop and type. Capture and keep going — cards queue up with their photos and get worked out in the background while you're still ripping.

The store you already run

Listings live, and no idea which ones are dragging.

Connect eBay and Cardrama pulls your live listings in, watches views and watchers, syncs sales back automatically, and tells you which cards have gone cold.

Shoebox. Show floor. The pull. The store. It all ends the same way:

scan → price → list → sold.

Let's be clear about one thing

We don't sell your cards. We make yours sell.

Cardrama is not a marketplace. There is no Cardrama storefront, no consignment desk, no queue to wait in, and no cut of your sale.

You sell on eBay — your store, your listings, your buyers, your feedback, your money. What Cardrama does is make the store you're already paying for work a great deal harder.

  • Your account, your money. Cardrama never touches a payment. eBay pays you the way it always has.
  • We do the hour you hate. Identify, price, write, photograph, list, follow up, chase the sale. That hour is the whole product.
  • We show our work. Every price opens into the actual eBay listings behind it. No black box, no "trust the number."
  • Nothing moves without you. Cards don't list themselves, prices don't change themselves. Cardrama recommends; you press the button.

Scan to sold

Six steps, and the app does five of them.

This is the whole pipeline, start to finish, in one app on your own computer. Not a scanner that stops at "here's the value" — the entire trip to a sold listing.

  1. Scan it

    One card, a hundred cards, or a folder you never have to open.

    • Front and back get paired automatically — and if two photos turn out to be two different cards, it splits them and rescans both.
    • Watch a scanner folder and cards arrive by themselves.
    • Scanning a run from one set? Type a hint like the year and set name and every guess gets sharper.

  2. Know exactly what it is

    Player, year, brand, set, card number — and the details that actually move the price.

    • Parallels, inserts, short prints, serial numbering, on-card vs. sticker autos, game-used vs. player-worn relics. Getting the variant wrong is how a $200 card gets priced at $4.
    • When it's sure, it saves the card. When it isn't, it stops and asks you — it never quietly guesses.

  3. Price it against the real market

    Grounded in live eBay listings for that exact card — not a number pulled out of the air.

    • You get a best estimate plus a low and a high, so you can see the spread you're working inside.
    • One button shows you the eBay listings it used. Check the market with your own eyes any time.
    • Pick how hard it works, card by card. Free eBay math costs nothing. Save the deep searches for the cards that deserve them.
    • If the AI's number and the eBay listings disagree badly, you get an orange warning instead of a bad price — usually it means a detail on the card is wrong.

  4. Set the ask, not just the value

    What a card is worth and what you should sell it for are two different numbers.

    • The asking price is filled in for you, picked from inside that low-to-high range.
    • One slider runs from sell fast to top dollar — set it for your whole store, or override it on any single card.
    • Autographs and low print runs get nudged up on their own.

  5. Write it, clean it, list it

    A finished eBay listing — description, photos, condition, and all — without you typing a word.

    • AI writes the eBay description from the card's real details.
    • Optional clean photos: background cut away, card straightened and centred, so every card in your store matches in search results. Your original photo is never changed and never thrown away — buyers see both.
    • List straight to eBay from your inventory, in bulk, or drop cards in a daily queue and let it post a set number every night.

  6. Then work the store

    Listing a card is the start of the job, not the end of it. This is where the money is.

    • Sales sync back from eBay on their own — cards move themselves from Available to Listed to Sold.
    • Every morning you get a short list of what's worth doing today, and why.
    • See it all below.

A store doesn't run itself. Now something runs it with you.

Scanner apps stop at a value. Cardrama keeps going: it watches your market, ranks your next move, and grades its own advice so you can tell whether to trust it.

Market heat

A 0–100 score of how badly buyers want that card right now — built from real eBay activity for the card and the player, and which way prices are moving.

It refreshes itself in the background, so your whole collection stays current without you asking.

The daily call sheet

Once a day, a short list: what to list next, what to delist, what to bundle. Ranked best-first, with the reason on the row.

Nothing changes on its own. If there's nothing worth doing, it says so — an empty list is a good day, not a broken screen.

It keeps its own report card

Every call is saved with what actually happened next. A "list this" counts as a win only if the card sells within 14 days.

Delist calls are shown but never scored — there's no honest way to know what a card would have done, and guessing would be cheating.

Season awareness

Football cards in July and basketball cards in September are two different businesses. The advisor knows the sport calendar and shifts what it pushes you to list as seasons turn.

Stop burning listing slots

eBay gives you a fixed number of free listings a month, and a 50¢ common eats one exactly like a $300 rookie does.

Cardrama finds the cheap cards that belong together and packages them into one eBay listing with a drop-down. Ten cards, one slot. The good cards stay on their own, where buyers can find them.

Know who's circling

Watchers and views on your live listings, pulled from eBay. Five watchers and no bid is information. Zero views in three weeks is a different kind of information.

Deal levers

Run a sale event across a group of cards, mark listings down, offer an order discount, or sweeten shipping — set up in Cardrama, applied to your real eBay store.

Pay to be seen — deliberately

eBay's Promoted Listings work, and they cost you a cut. Cardrama helps you pick which cards are worth advertising instead of blanketing the store and eating the ad rate on everything.

Never ship late

Cardrama reads eBay's ship-by date for every sale and shouts before it's a problem — amber a day out, red the moment it's late.

Late shipping risks your Top Rated Plus discount, and that's 10% off your final value fee on every sale. Worth shouting about.

The number that actually matters

Know what you keep — before you list.

Sale price is a vanity number. Cardrama reads left to right like a receipt, so you can run your eye down a column and spot the cards that aren't worth the padded envelope.

Sale total$24.00
eBay takes−$3.30
Shipping−$1.24
You keep$19.46

Set your store level, fee percentages, ad rate, shipping costs, and Top Rated Plus discount once, and every figure in the app is your math. Raw cards can price to eBay Standard Envelope by weight — the service that makes cheap raw cards worth shipping at all. (These are illustrative figures, not a promise about your store.)

On the way

What's coming next.

Cardrama is in open beta and moving fast. Here's what beta testers get to watch land.

In build

Scan while you break

Live breaks are the fastest card intake in the hobby and the worst possible time to stop and type. We're building for exactly that moment — keep the camera rolling, keep pulling, let the cards land themselves.

Coming

iPhone and Mac

The Android companion is live today. iPhone and macOS builds are next, so the show-floor half of Cardrama works whatever's in your pocket.

By design

An advisor that earns the keys

Right now it only suggests. Once it's been right 8 times out of 10 across at least 20 scored calls over 60 days, you'll be able to let it act on its own — inside rules you set.

It has to prove it on your store, with your cards. Not ours.

Coming

The Hype Report

What's heating up, what's cooling off, and what it means for the cards actually sitting in your inventory.

Private beta

Ask for an invite.

The beta runs in small waves so every tester gets real support. Tell us a bit about yourself and we will email your download link when a spot opens. It is free — the Rookie plan stays free, and you bring a free Google AI key the app walks you through getting.

You will need Windows 10 or 11 (or macOS 10.15+) and a free Google AI key — the app walks you through getting one. We only use your details to run the beta, and we never share them.
