About CardCore
Built by collectors and players who wanted something better.
CardCore started the way most side projects do -- someone got frustrated. Local game stores were juggling spreadsheets for inventory, pricing cards off memory, and running trade-ins on napkin math. Players had no easy way to see what was in stock, check prices, or trade with each other outside of Facebook groups.
So we built something. What started as a tool for one store and one game (Star Wars Unlimited) grew into a platform that handles inventory, real-time pricing, trade-ins, peer-to-peer trading, store credit, and analytics. All of it designed to work on your phone at the game store counter.
We are not a big company. We are three people who play TCGs and think the local game store experience deserves better tools. Every feature we ship is something we actually wanted to use ourselves.
