Hey there!

Mikah, the founder of SortSwift and MTech Cave, comes onto the Manaverse Podcast to talk about his journey from running a phone repair shop to building cutting-edge tools for the collectible card game industry.

Mikah shares how his business evolved from selling Magic: The Gathering singles to creating a Kickstarter for card drawers that raised over $150K, eventually leading to the development of his own card sorting machine—one of the first new production machines in over 20 years.

We dig into how the Super Sorter works, how the SortSwift software suite can make managing the TCG side of your business easy and help you scale up by leveraging multiple marketplaces and sales channels while also increasing your capacity to buy collections and grow your inventory.

But hardware is just part of the picture.

SortSwift also offers an integrated software suite for game stores and at-home sellers that includes:

  • Inventory management

  • Auto-pricing via TCGPlayer

  • Buylist management

  • Shopify and marketplace integrations

  • Chaos-style organization (bin-level card tracking)

  • POS and customer kiosk systems

  • CSV tools and fuzzy match imports

  • Plans for a vetted seller marketplace and fulfillment network

If you're tired of dealing with legacy systems like BinderPOS that aren't performing as promised and want something more responsive, modular, and affordable, you should take a look at SortSwift. Many game stores are already switching, and growth is accelerating.

Best,

Tom Traplin
