What is the Card Slinger? 

This tool is designed to assist in scanning a large number of MTG, Pokemon, other TCG cards, sports cards and more, rapidly, by using the card scanning app of your choice on your phone. 

The card slinger is the first of its kind, patented device, don't accept imitations!

The card slinger fits both sleeved and un-sleeved cards, and accommodates standard sized MTG, Pokemon cards and more. Apps for scanning that work with this device are ManaBox for mtg, Delver lens for mtg and Pokemon, Dex for Pokemon and many more! As of July 2025 you can also now scan in sports cards using Hobby Scan, a new and developing app for scanning in all types of cards.

The Card Slinger funnels cards as you toss them into the scanning zone, centering the cards so that the scanning app can do its job quickly and efficiently, allowing you to scan card after card faster than any other manual method. This is a significant improvement over moving cards in and out of the frame one at a time by hand, and you can scan over 180 cards before needing to empty the drawer, the sleeved drawer holds about 80 cards single sleeved. The card slinger is strong, fits cards precisely, and makes short work of large quantities of cards in need of scanning. 

The Card Slinger comes in 3 versions, Standard, for sleeved and un-sleeved cards, the Adjustable Model, featuring an articulating stand, and Lite, the most basic model, with a single tray and non removable base.

The Card Slinger Standard model fits sleeved cards, and just pop in the drawer of choice and scan to your hearts content! The Adjustable model comes with a multi position stand, and removable drawers for both sleeved and unsleeved cards. The card slinger lite only fits unsleeved cards, and does not have a removable drawer as our most basic option. 

** Scanning in sleeved cards successfully is dependent on lighting conditions, angle, sleeve type, and application, some patience and experimentation is required **

** as these photos are of the preproduction unit, the final item shipped may have a slightly different surface finish and appearance **

Most all! if it lays flat, and has a camera of set to the right of the phone, or center, it will work great. The better the camera, the better the apps will work. Some miscellaneous android phones do perform as well as iphones do.

Hell yeah its sturdy! Its made to be as tough as possible. It will support MOST every phone.
