A Story About Cards.

It started at 7-Eleven.

My friends and I would go in, grab the price guide off the shelf, flip through it to see what our cards were worth — and put it back. We never bought it. We just wanted to know the number.

I grew up a Lakers fan. Kobe was everything.

The cards weren't just cards — they were moments. Something you could hold. Something real.

Then life moved on, the way it does.

I got into tech. I've been designing and building apps for years — products that feel good to use, experiences that make people feel something. Cards stayed in the past.

Then Caitlin Clark happened.

And just like that, I was back.

I started going to card shows.

Hundreds of tables. Thousands of cards. Little kids wide-eyed at displays. Old heads who've been in the hobby forever. Everyone talking, trading, dealing. The community is alive. The energy is real.

But standing at a table, trying to price a card — I'm on my phone, the seller's watching, cross-referencing three tabs, doing math in my head, and still making gut calls.

I tried everything.

130pt. CardLadder. Others. All great apps. Genuinely useful. I just wanted something different.

“I wanted a partner. Not a tool. Something that knew what I had, knew the market, and could tell me the play — like a great dealer friend standing next to me at the table.”

I love Robinhood. The way it makes investing feel intelligent. You know your positions. You know your momentum. The interface doesn't make you feel like you're working. Cards deserve that.

So I built it.

Not because it was a business idea. Because I'm in this space. I love this hobby. I have the background to build something worthy of it. It felt like a calling.

Slabfy is the AI operating system the hobby deserves. Evaluate for instant card pricing at shows. Grade Ladder for cross-grade ROI with real data. Flip Finder for automated eBay arbitrage. Card Show POS. Consignment management. QR-code storefronts. And Ask Fy — an AI agent with 46 tools that knows your cards and can physically operate the app.

Every competitor does one thing. Alt tracks portfolios. CardLadder shows charts. Card Dealer Pro does bulk scan. Slabfy is the only product that combines proprietary market intelligence, full dealer business operations, and an AI agent — all built on data that gets smarter with every transaction.

The vision is bigger. A real marketplace where buying and selling cards is as fast, smart, and trusted as trading a stock. That's what we're building.
