I have already scanned a few hundred cards in a very short amount of time with very little effort. I think the only problem that’s still remains is some kind of lighting situation because I can’t seem to get it perfect without some help with other tools. What I ended up using was one of those selfie LED rings and it seemed to help a lot. This is an amazing product and I can’t wait to see what it does with hopefully eventually getting to Pokémon and Lorcana, etc..

Awesome!!! Works great!!

I would 100% recommend this to someone who collects trading cards. I have had mine about a week and it has saved me close to 12 hours.

Great value scanner for the individual collector. So far, I’ve scanned in 10k+ cards since receiving the unit.

I have now operated all three versions of the TCG Archivist. I am thrilled with this unit. I use it every day. It operates flawlessly, accurately and is convenient. The support has been attentive and helpful. You guys have gotten things right, Bravo!

App frequently crashes and lacks support since restarts rarely fix it, otherwise a huge improvement over previous version. The ability to verify scans from app is amazing.
Edit: creator contacted me for more information on the error and resolved it in an update

Well, I’m still ironing out some of my technique with this machine. This has save me so many hours cataloging my collection. Great product, recommending it to all my friends.

Tiptop

I have at the tcgarchvist for a week and it has made scanning my bulk super easy. And would definitely recommend it.

I can't say enough about how easy it was to work with customer support. I reported an issue with my TCG Archivist and was quickly chatting directly with a member of the team on discord. Not only did they work to solve the problem I was having, but they implemented a fix to the hardware and replaced my unit for free. I have been using my Archivist without any issues since this and I could not be happier.

If you want to archive your collection quickly this tool helps.

This scanner is awesome! So much easier than manually sliding cards over and over again! I scanned thousands of cards with ease!

I have thousands of cards laying around. I try to keep them organized, but every so often the new cards coming in make the system a bit frail.

TCG Archivist makes keeping the system up-to-date super easy. As long as the lighting in the room is good enough, I can scan a huge stack of cards in no time.

Zero regrets with this purchase.

*FOR THE PRICE*, compared to the scanners that cost way more than I'm willing to spend. This with manabox is the best you can get if you're not an actual store.

Thousands of cards in hours instead of days.

If you're having issues, lighting and phone positioning are absolutely key, I use a bendable phone holder over the plastic phone holder provided and once I get dialed in, lighting doesn't even matter, just minor tick adjustments as it scans.

Some nit picky suggestions.
- Attachments, such as:
a 4 point telescoping phone holder with microscope like dials for fine tune and fast
tuning (think framing your phone with a 5mm border).
- Quick swap trays, for continuous motion, or larger trays.
- A Pulse button, exactly like a food processor's.
- Have card count always be speed, I've found the count to be not relevant, personally.
- Toggle on/off over push button, combined with the pulse button of course.

If I could wave a wand and change 1 thing right now, it would be the phone stand, better stability for minor poking so scanning doesn't get messed up while making quick adjustments (Foil/QTY/Set).

Product works great. Unfortunately, none of the apps that work with it can recognize when there are 2 of the same cards in a row, without moving the camera away from the card. By no means is this the Archivist’s fault, but it is something to be aware of when buying.
