I love the art design. Assembly is a little precarious. I thought I was going to break some pieces because the final step requires pegs to go into holes and slide to one side, but one of the pegs does not line up with the hole until they are both in and slid over. I was able to assemble without breaking anything though. Overall this has been a good tool to get my MTG collection scanned. I have scanned ~4500 cards in it. It would get five stars but lighting can be a bit of an issue. Some of the images are a little dark. If you have a ring light to set up near the box, I recommend using it. Also, cell phone cameras are not in the center of the phone, so in order to get a good scan and image, the phone has to sit off to one side significantly. This does not really effect the use of the box overall, but the images on the store front are a little misleading.

I ordered this on 2/6 and didn’t receive it until 3/11. That’s not a great experience. If you’re looking for a card scanner quickly, you may want to consider other options.The scanner arrives as flat wooden pieces with laser-cut sections that you push out and assemble. The instructions are clear, but applying the white stickers (which help the camera focus by providing a uniform background) was a bit tricky to get just right.I’ve scanned close to 300 cards with this, and it works… okay. Not great. To be fair, I haven’t found a card scanner that works great yet, but I had hoped this would be the one.Issues with the Scanner:Flawed Card Removal DesignThe bottom panel, which sits under the cards and has a white sticker for contrast, is held in place by friction. After scanning a stack of cards, the easiest way to remove them should be to take out this panel. However, there’s no handle or grip to pull it out, so you have to push up on one side, causing it to shift awkwardly into the stack of cards. This is a big concern because many people scan cards to assess their value, and any risk—no matter how small—of damaging them is a deal-breaker. I ended up not using the bottom panel at all, but that creates another issue: if the scanner is placed on a surface with a visible pattern, the app often mistakes background textures (like wood grain) for cards and adds them to the scan.Lighting and Shadow IssuesThe checkerboard cutouts on the side allow some light in, but they also create square shadows on the cards, which can confuse the scanning app. Proper lighting is crucial for accurate scanning, and these design flaws make it harder to get consistent results.Bottom Line:This isn’t a great scanner, but to be fair, there really aren’t any great card scanners out there yet. If you’re looking for something functional and don’t mind working around its quirks, it might be okay. But if you want a seamless scanning experience, this likely isn’t it.

This company keeps coming out with things that make my life easier. I love them for it. This thing is great and I am very happy to have it.

I've tried over a dozen different phones and can't get it to scan at all. Outside at North on a sunny day, flashlights, incandescent, fluorescent, led, heck, I even took it to photo studio and even that lighting couldn't help, manabox and delver lens don't recognize the cards at all when I use this device. Yes, I tested the apps with cards on a table in various lighting situations. Can any help?

Came across this card scanning stand and thought it seemed really interesting – essentially, it’s a device that allows you to take photos of your collectible (or other game) cards, with relative ease!Item – made of 4mm laser-cut plywood – comes unassembled. Putting it together was a bit of a task, as it required sanding the joints (with the included file) to make it all fit nicely – but overall, had no issues there and found it to be fairly easy. As for design – the stand is covered with MTG-themed engravings (which can be painted); the inside is lined in plain white, resulting in crisp, clear photos.In general – it can be quite difficult to photograph cards or other flat objects, as they’ll inevitably come out uneven or skewed. However, with this device, scanning your cards has never been easier, as it allows you to keep your phone level and provides the perfect backdrop each and every time. I can see how this might be particularly useful if you’re looking to either catalogue your cards (and have a large collection) or perhaps sell them online.In any event, this card tray really is a unique item – great for anyone looking to organize their cards!
