A trades marketplace with a binder, for the card games that never get their own app. Keep your collection, follow the collectors you like, and trade real cards with people across the country.
Magic and Pokémon have a dozen apps each. Everything else gets a spreadsheet and a group chat. CardCuteCollect is for the rest of it: My Little Pony, Sanrio, tokidoki, independent CCGs, and the whole cute, strange, overlooked side of the hobby.
The marketplace is the front door. You post what you want to trade, browse what everyone else has up, and follow the collectors whose binders you want to keep an eye on. Your own binder sits behind it as the record of what you actually own.
The app is free and there is no subscription. It is on iOS and Android now.
Trades are in early access right now, let in by invite while the group is small enough that I can watch every one of them go through.
The app used to have a second, softer kind of trade where collectors exchanged pictures of cards instead of the cards themselves. It was safe, and it was also beside the point. People did not want a picture of the card. They wanted the card. So that feature is gone, and what is left is the harder one.
Mailing a real card means the agreement is the beginning, not the end. Two packages still have to get where they are going, and the app has to be honest with both people about what has actually happened versus what has only been promised. Every screen in that flow has to answer one question: what do I do next, and what am I still waiting on?
That is also why trades are invite-only for now. A marketplace that handles other people's property should earn the right to get bigger, and the only way I know to earn it is to keep the group small enough to see every trade through.
CardCuteCollect is the one app the studio has out right now, so it gets all of the attention. If you collect something the big platforms ignore, or you want into the trades early access, email me.
