Ungraded Rookie
A home for the in-person side of collecting. Discover card shows, browse event details, and find the next place to meet other collectors.
Visit live websiteThe brief
Card-show information is scattered across flyers, social posts, and local lists. Collectors need a useful view of what is coming up and where it is happening.
The approach
Connect a searchable event list to a map, with date and region controls close at hand. A collage of recognizable cards introduces the culture; straightforward discovery tools help visitors act on that interest.
What people use instead
Facebook Groups
What it does wellWhere card-show news actually circulates today, with the audience already assembled and no setup required.
Where it left a gapA post is a timeline event, not a record. The date, the address and the table price sink under newer posts within a day, there is no map and no calendar, and the same show gets announced five times by five people.
TCDB
What it does wellThe most complete community-maintained catalogue of cards there is, and the reference the hobby runs on.
Where it left a gapBuilt around the card, not the gathering. It answers what a card is and what it is worth, not where you can go on Saturday and who will be sitting at the tables.
The event is the object. Shows, trade nights and conventions as structured, findable records — with dates, locations and detail that stay put.

A dark collector’s desk with a warm red-orange signal. The starburst motif moves from the identity into map markers, while the card artwork brings color and texture.
