Built by a dealer. Not a software company.
Card Shepherd is the operating system for card sellers. Scan, stock, break, grade and sell — with real cost basis behind every number, so the profit you see is the profit you keep.
Whether you move sports cards or TCG, Card Shepherd tracks the whole business from your phone — cost, sales, breaks, grading and real profit. One app, every card, both worlds.
Money comes in from Whatnot, eBay, shows and DMs. Money goes out for wax, shipping, grading, fees and supplies. Somewhere in the middle is your actual profit — and a spreadsheet you stopped updating in March.
Ten spots sold, one case bought, platform fees off the top. The stream was fun. The math never got done.
It came from a case, in a trade, in a lot of forty. Its real cost basis is buried three transactions back.
April arrives and you rebuild a year of buying and selling from screenshots, payout emails and memory.
Hold your phone over any card — sports or TCG. Card Shepherd reads it, fills in the details, and shows what it's selling for right now.
Sports and TCG side by side — Charizard next to your rookie auto. Each with its own cost, asking price, and profit at a glance.
After product cost, platform fees, shipping, grading and supplies come out — Card Shepherd shows what you actually kept.
Log a sale from any channel and Card Shepherd builds the recap — revenue, card cost, and the net profit you actually pocketed. Send the receipt in a tap.
Sell spots, log the product, let the platform take its cut — and get a recap that tells you whether going live was worth it.
No trial clock, no card to begin. Move up when the business does.
You scan cards into an inventory that remembers what each one cost you. You sell them anywhere — Whatnot, eBay, a show table, a DM — and log the sale in a few taps. Card Shepherd subtracts the cost of the card, the fees, the shipping and the supplies, and tells you what you actually made. Breaks, grading submissions and expenses all feed the same number.
No. The free tier is built for collectors tracking a personal collection and checking values. The paid tiers are for people moving enough volume that guessing starts to cost them money.
The opposite. A spreadsheet needs you to remember what a card cost when it came out of a case, what Whatnot took, and what shipping ran you. Card Shepherd already knows, because it tracked all of it as it happened.
Player, year, set, card number, brand and sport on raw cards. On graded slabs it also reads the grading company, the grade and the cert number straight off the label.
It was built phone-first, because that's where the work happens — at the table, at the show, mid-break. Add it to your home screen and it opens like a normal app.
It stays yours. Downgrade and your records remain; you keep access to what you've built and can export it. Nothing is deleted because you stopped paying.
Free forever tier. No card required. Your first scan takes about ten seconds.
