Log a weekend show without retyping it

Photograph the batch

One overhead photo covers 9 to 12 cards from the show.

Review the read

The photo fills in the card name, line, set, grade, and condition. Anything unsure is marked so you can shoot a closer photo.

Post the deal

One offer percent prices every card you bought. The expected sale is filled in on the same row.

Record the sale

Enter the amount the card sold for and the wire date. The row changes from estimated to sold.

MCP on Elite

Elite lets an assistant upload card info onto legs. You still review the row. A sale is marked sold only when you enter the amount and the wire date.

Month-end profit, counted two ways

One number for everything bought this month. One number for sales that have settled.

Profit, all cards

20.8% markup, weighted by cost

$1,684.13

Profit, sold only

34.8% markup, weighted by cost

$791.50

Example month. Markup is weighted by what you paid. A $0 buy counts in profit and does not inflate markup.

How each price was set

Each dealer keeps their own markup, calculated from what you paid.

Sticker priceTimes your offerBuy priceExpected sale at 15%Actual saleProfit and markup

The expected sale is saved when you post the card. A later markup change does not rewrite old rows.
Each dealer has one open deal, with their own markup.
Creates, edits, voids, and the change from estimated to sold are logged with who did it and when.

Card shop bookkeeping

Books for a card counter

A dealer hands you a stack and a percent of sticker. A Prizm basketball card, a Pokémon holo, a Yu-Gi-Oh secret rare, and a Magic: The Gathering serialized card can all sit in the same buy. The sale may not clear until next week. Ordinary accounting software does not record that wait.

cardsrm stores the buy, the expected sale, and the final sale on the same card. At month end you get profit on everything bought, and profit on what has sold. You can hand that to a bookkeeper instead of rebuilding the weekend from texts.
