Shops and shows: you're already in.
Collectors use CardFinder Live to find cards, shows, and shops — 3,000+ shows and thousands of shops are listed in the app. If you run one of them, there's a free account waiting for you.
See yourself the way collectors do
Download the app and look up your shop or your show. That listing — your name, your address, your hours — is what a collector sees when they're deciding where to go this weekend.
If you run a card shop
Your listing is already live. We built it from public listings and went through them one by one to clean them up — but nobody knows your shop like you do.
Claim it, and two things happen. Your shop's card in the app flips to Verified, so collectors know the listing is really yours. And you can put your own cards in the app, as the store — a collector searching for a card finds yours, sees it's sitting in your shop, and comes in to get it. More traffic through your door is the whole idea.
Your cards do the inviting. A new collector finds one and comes in to get it — or a regular who wasn't stopping by today sees one he likes and makes the trip. And when two collectors make a deal in the app, it points them to a shop or a show in the middle to meet. Either way, people walk through your door.
Something off before you claim — wrong hours, old address, you moved? There's a button to tell us, and it comes straight to us.
Don't see your shop at all? In the app, tap + Suggest or Claim — or email hello@cardfinderlive.com — and we'll add it.
Here's a real shop's page today
Start on the home screen. A collector near you sees the closest shows and the closest shops first — and your shop is already in that row. This is a real one: The Uncommons TCG, in New York.
Tap it, and this is the shop's page — the address, how far away it is, and one tap to call, get directions, open the website, or find it on social. That's already live for every listed shop, and it's free.
Now look at the two things that are waiting. The page says "Not yet verified." And under "Inventory on CardFinder Live," the shelf is empty. Claim your shop — free — and both change: your page shows it's Verified with CardFinder Live, and the cards you tie to your shop fill that shelf, where collectors can find them.
Claim yours — three steps:
- Get the app and make your free account.
- Open your Profile, scroll down to Card Shop Access, and start your request.
- Find your shop, fill in the form, and tap Submit — then tap the link in the email we send you (it's good for three days). We review every request by hand — your status shows in your Profile, and you'll get an email when you're approved.
If you host a card show
Collectors find your show two ways: the closest shows to home, and Plan a Trip when they're traveling — tell the app where you're going and it shows the shows there. Then the cards do the selling. A collector on his couch scrolls what's coming to your show, spots one he wants, messages the dealer, and makes a deal — now he's coming, when he wasn't before. One more person through your door, before your doors even open.
Collectors can save your show, get directions in one tap, and see the cards projected to be there — before they ever leave home.
Something off — wrong dates, old venue, wrong hours? There's a button to tell us, and it comes straight to us.
Don't see your show at all? In the app, tap + Suggest or Claim — or email hello@cardfinderlive.com — and we'll add it.
Here's a real show's page today
This is the map a collector near you opens — every show around them as a pin, the closest ones listed right underneath. 228 shows around New York today, and that's The Big Show sitting on top.
Tap it, and this is the show's page — directions, a search box for the cards at the event, and a live snapshot of what's there. When your dealers go live at your show, the cards they brought land on this page — searchable, with a message to the seller a tap away.
All of that is already live for your show, and it's free. Claim yours so the dates, hours, and address collectors see are the right ones — and so you can message collectors right in the app.
Claim yours — three steps:
- Get the app and make your free account.
- On the home screen, tap + Suggest or Claim next to "Card Shows Near Me," then tap I organize a show.
- Fill in the form and tap Submit — then tap the link in the email we send you (it's good for three days). We review every request by hand, and you'll get an email when you're approved.
What it costs
Nothing. Being listed is free. The account is free. We built CardFinder Live so collectors can find you — that's the whole deal.
The plain fine print
Listing details come from public sources and submissions, and we re-check them. If we ever get something wrong, tell us through the app — or email hello@cardfinderlive.com — and we'll fix it. A listing isn't an endorsement, and CardFinder Live doesn't sell cards or take payments — it just gets collectors to your door.
