How it works

Three steps. No laps around the hall.

CardRelay doesn't replace the card show — it removes the repetitive searching so you can enjoy the rest of it.

1

Send what you’re looking for

Card, set, condition floor, budget — as much or as little detail as you want. It takes under a minute.

2

Vendors check their tables

Every participating vendor sees your relay at once. Anyone who has it responds — with condition, price, and booth.

3

Visit the vendor who has it

Compare responses, pick one, and walk straight to the table. The deal happens in person — the way shows should.

For collectors

Stop asking the same question at every table.

Keep enjoying the show — we'll let you know if a vendor spots it.

  • Find specific cards faster, without walking every aisle
  • Compare vendor responses side by side
  • See condition, grade, booth, and optional price up front
  • Your relay stays active while you browse, trade, and talk

For vendors

See what collectors are looking for and respond when you have it.

No inventory uploads. No listings to maintain. Just a live feed of what the room wants — answer the ones you can.

  • Catch buyers you’d otherwise never meet
  • Respond in two taps, only when you have the card
  • Optionally share price before the collector walks over
  • Build relationships with local collectors, show after show

For show organizers

A better show, for both sides of the table.

CardRelay gives attendees an easier way to navigate your floor, gives vendors an extra reason to book a table, and gives you a private view of what your room actually wanted.

Happier attendees

Less overwhelm at large events, fewer collectors leaving empty-handed when the card was in the room all along.

A vendor sales tool

Participating vendors get a live line to interested buyers — an extra reason to book your show again.

Private demand insights

Aggregate, anonymized demand and missed-opportunity trends — internal reporting for your show, never a public feed and never sold.

Announcements that reach the floor

Pack wars, end-of-show deals, schedule changes — pushed to everyone who joined, right on their phone.

Bring CardRelay to Your Show

CardRelay doesn't replace the hunt.
It removes the frustrating parts.

The show is still the point — the conversations, the trades, the binder you didn't expect to see. CardRelay just makes sure the searching doesn't swallow the day.

More time browsingMore conversationsMore discoveriesLess repetitive searchingFewer missed boothsEasier connections
Keeping it honest

What CardRelay is not

The card show is the product. CardRelay stays out of the way of the parts that make the hobby worth showing up for.

  • Not an online marketplace
  • Not an auction platform
  • Not a payment processor
  • No inventory upload required
  • Not a replacement for vendor conversations
  • Never ranks vendors by price alone
