I recorded a quick desktop demo of Wax Cache, the card collection app I’ve been building!

This video is just focused on the desktop view and how the main collection workflow works.

In the demo I walk through organizing cards by locations and boxes, selecting and moving cards, viewing card details, checking values, using QR codes, and sharing/listing from the collection.

The goal is to make managing a card collection feel less like a spreadsheet and more like an actual system built around how collectors store and use their cards.

Hey everyone, I’ve been collecting cards for a while and kept running into the same problem: I’d buy, trade, sort, and list cards, then completely forget what was in which box, binder, or stack.

I'm a Software Engineer in Supply Chain with 7 years of experience. I've built/worked on WMS/TMS/CMS systems, etc. I KNEW there was a better way to do this but nothing quite fit my needs. So I started building a side project called Wax Cache to help manage a card collection in a more modern way.

The idea is pretty simple:

You can add cards to your collection, organize them into boxes/locations, track estimated values, add your cost basis, see profit/loss, and generate QR codes for physical storage. So instead of opening every box or binder, you can scan a QR code and see what’s inside.

It also has tools for selling, including eBay listing support, so when you’re ready to move a card, you’re not starting from scratch.

Not trying to replace the fun of collecting. I just wanted something better than a giant spreadsheet, random notes app, or digging through boxes trying to remember where something is.

What would actually make a collection manager useful for you?

Here is my app if you want to check it out!

I’ve been collecting cards for a while, and my spreadsheet eventually became useless.

I had cards in boxes, notes in random places, screenshots, eBay searches, and no easy way to answer simple questions like:

What do I own?
Where is it?
What did I pay?
What’s it worth now?

So I built Wax Cache.

It lets collectors scan or bulk upload cards, organize them into real boxes and locations, generate QR codes, track cost/profit/loss, view analytics, and share public collection links.

I’m launching it on Product Hunt tomorrow and would genuinely love feedback from other builders and collectors
