Final Bump

Hello Everyone,

I am Fred Barnes, crazed sports card collector, vintage card dealer, T206 addict, and the founder and owner of sportscardscanner.com. Sportscardscanner.com is a website and mobile app that takes images of sports cards, matches them to a database, and then allows you to do some cool things like automatically document all of the card details, add to your collection, automatically update your checklists, see eBay comps and listings, sell...etc. We even have browser extensions that allow you to right click on a card image and instantly see its details and ebay comps to save you the time of manually searching!

I built Sports Card Scanner because as a dealer, I was always frustrated with how long it took me to scan and document the details for cards to list them for sale. I focused on vintage cards, and while there is a great market for vintage commons, the time it took to list them versus what they sold for drained me. I always wanted software that would take the image of a card, and then load in all the details for me. Since the software didn't exist, and since I have a background in software development, I decided to build it.

We are now done with our first version of the software, the website is up and running, and the mobile apps are waiting on Apple and Google to approve to become available in the app stores (hoping to be publicly available in 1 week). I think a lot of people will love the app and am hopeful that the commercial potential for this is as great as I think it is. I have a lot of money invested, and even more time invested to get to this point.

I am now seeking strategic partners to join me in the business. Individuals who have industry experience that can help accelerate the success of the site and the app. I am very open to they types of experience and backgrounds people have, and am most interested in finding people I enjoy to work with who are as passionate about the collecting hobby as I am, and who are interested in building tools for collectors and dealers that will add to the hobby's enjoyment and solve problems that exist within the industry.

If you are interested in playing a role in SportsCardScanner.com and would possibly want to partner up and join me on this exciting journey as we launch the company, shoot me a message and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks, and happy collecting!

- Fred Barnes

Hi Fred, I don't really have the bandwidth to contribute to the project, but it sounds like fun. I do work as a data scientist though, and write similar machine learning code for work. Is this your area of expertise as wwell or are you hiring out the coding to someone else? I'd be happy to share my thoughts about the challenges you'll likely encounter, where it would be most likely to perform well, and some possible ways to improve the model's accuracy, if you'd like. If you're interested in that feedback, feel free to send me a PM.

Cool project though. Good luck!

It looks like a great idea and I wish the OP the best of luck...
