Just read in my local paper that Roca Robotics (local company ) was purchased by TCGplayer. It stated they were a card sorting machine manufacter. I checked out the sites an it appears that it is set up for Magic Gathering cards.

I have E-mailed them asking about sports cards. Sorts 1000 cards in under 2 hours. Several ways to sort them.

The machine is probably great for Magic and Pokemon cards with the rounded playing card like corners. I'm sure most sports card collector concerns would be it the machine could cause damage to corners, or surface abrasion.

I Have always wanted to do this for sports cards. Sort by hundreds place, then by tens place and then by ones place. The one issue I have always been worried about is destroying cards. I am glad to see this on the up-and-coming. ------------------------------- When life has you down buy a pack of cards and realize you overpaid.
