The ONLY app I'll be using for scanning cards!

Battle of the card scanner apps! I already tried Dragon Shield's app as well as TCGPlayer's. Delver Lens and ManaBox are far superior in my opinion but please use what you like. I am testing out Delver Lens and ManaBox side by side.

Check out my other videos!

Sorry I had to reupload y'all! 😭The video was copyright for the music although I got it on epidemic sounds 😅 dang I was really enjoying that song! My apologies for the lack of music...I'm still learning how YouTube works

Heads up, with Manabox as you take the picture you can tap the "normal" button and it switches to foil without having to navigate away from the camera. ❤

I leave all my cards, cases, boxes, counters, dice, splayed and scattered all over my house to impress the ladies when I bring them home. (they all run away)

Taalia out here doing the real work for us lmao - thank u for your service to the community

I still cant believe anyone could say anything positive about a ten dollar motor in a ten dollar print being sold for two hundred. The disconnect is insane

I prop my phone up with a deckbox or book to maintain the focus when using delver lens. The little camera button with the arrows down at the bottom cycles the lens being used on your phone camera, I've had the most luck with the 0.6 (ultra wide) lens when scanning cards. I'll have to give mana box a try though

Tips for delver Lens: when on camera screen, open settings and set bounding box and toggle it to allow promos. Once a card is scanned you also hav options for the card on top of screen.

Based on that test, Manabox definitely performed better! However, you missed out on covering a few key features of Delver Lens.

1. The settings menu at the bottom of the scanning screen offers a robust set of features to help the scanning process. You can specify set, condition, language, foil. You can place a border on the screen to align your cards within, you can adjust how quickly or slowly it scans.

2. As you scan, there are buttons at the top to adjust set, language, foiling, and quantity as you go.

3. This one is the biggest one for me is the exporting options. You can export your list in every possible way, including CSV formats that can adjust to the specifications of any other platform. I log my collection on Moxfield, and with Delver, I am able to export a CSV that Moxfield will recognize. Manabox, you can only save your lists to your collection or a deck list, and the only export options are a txt file.

I have over 100 commander decks and have scanned every single one using mana box. A bit finicky by hand sometime but still hands down one of the best apps out there!

[jasonyu-gi-oh]

Cool. I use almost all of them. Both manabox and delver lens

[bartman]

I’ve used delver lens ever since I bought 2 boxes at once, and got tired of hours and hours of manual entry. DL has been decent, but I’ll have to give Mana Box a shot.

in Delver Lens after you scan a card a menu ion bar shows up and you can pick if its foil or not and other options
i just recently found you can pick what edition as well. yes it can be slow, when i tried out the Manabox app there was no sound at all don't know if it was a glitch or not did reinstall but nada. *TIP* do not stack your cards you want to scan. one at a time on a piece of paper (even a return envelope will work)

I recently tried scanning a slew of cards. That Archivist looks dope! I definitely think I might pick up one.

My experiences scanning with Delver vs. Manabox were similar. Too many errors from Delver! Manabox was more consistent.

[ShifuDaxiongmao]

Suggestion for another test. The apps recognize cards, but what is the hit/miss on the right print of the cards? I have noticed that with my own collection, if there are multiple versions with the same art, Manabox sometimes defaults to the newest version and I have to manually correct that. (I can see this being an issue for people with collections that involves more than a few older versions of cards)

[TheGrimKeeper]

Can the mana box list be uploaded to TCGplayer?

[Tornven]

I wish I had an archideckt! Usually struggle too much with ManaBox lol that seemed to keep the position and lighting perfectly!!

[Ryan_Dye-r]

How does one find your card listings on Whatnot?

[UltimateComicsS]

Hi, nice video, sorry, do you have the link to that TCG Archivist?

[SteveWisey]

Well I am sold on ManaBox and that machine

[birdie]

Manabox is great, but it struggles to scan withe borders cards and some full arts too. I solved this by using black sleeves (with a white table ofc).
