Built by a Collector, for Collectors
The story behind the app that helps collectors organize their passion.
How It Started
My grandfather and I collected cards together when I was growing up. We started building a collection of every Pittsburgh Steelers autograph we could find. After he passed, I got back into the hobby and kept that collection going.
Along the way I took on another project: an NFL Hall of Fame collection with an autograph, rookie card, and jersey card for every member. As the collection grew, managing it became a real problem. I tried using a database system, but the UI wasn't built for cards, the data entry was painful, and the costs were adding up.
I needed something better, so I built it. That's SetScribe.
What Drives SetScribe
Every feature in SetScribe is something I wanted to use myself or something a SetScribe user suggested. This isn't a product built by a team trying to figure out what collectors want. This is my hobby.
The goal is simple: help collectors have fun in the hobby. View your cards, share them, and track what you're building. No clutter, no aggressive upsells, no advertising. Just a clean, simple tool that does what it's supposed to do.
Long term, I want SetScribe to be the place where collectors can showcase their cards for the world. Your collection deserves to be seen.
Your Data Is Yours
Your collection is private by default. We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and you can export or delete everything at any time.
Works Everywhere
iOS, Android, and web. Your collection syncs across every device so you always have it with you, whether you're at a card show or at your desk.
Built by Users
Features come from real collectors. If you have an idea or something isn't working, it goes straight to the person building the app.
Simple and Beautiful
No clutter, no noise. SetScribe is designed to be clean and easy to use so you can focus on the cards, not the app.
My favorite card is a 1984 Topps Andy Van Slyke rookie. It was the first card my grandfather got me.
