Card show inventory discovery tool

[brunswickreeves]

I would have loved this for the recent GBSCC show I attended, although would have taken the fun out of the hunt. I was on a mission for one single card. A life long desire for it and a tragic event in my state prompted me to take action and make the dream come true while I still had time on earth. Instead of using such an app, I researched hundreds of sellers websites and social media platforms to get a flavor for what they specialized in. Then printed the floor map and created a flow diagram and timetables of booths to visit in hot pursuit of the card, from most likely to least likely vendor to carry it. After two hours walking the floor I finally came upon a seller I overlooked who had the card. I negotiated a deal and walked out feeling on top of the world!

That's a great story! You can't post all that without showing the card though!

I think it's a cool idea. For seller's that have spreadsheets it should be easy to upload their stuff and for those that prefer to keep it old school, they can just decline to use it. Seems like a win for buyers.
