Collectivus Holdings brought [trading card game collection management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passcollect) into one app with ‘Sorted,’ now out of beta for players and collectors. The app combines tracking, card valuation and [deck building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardmaster), while its ‘Bulk Scanner’ lets users catalog large stacks of cards much faster than manual entry.

Sorted works across major TCGs, including Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon, so a collector can keep one searchable portfolio instead of juggling separate tools. Its new ‘Wishlist’ feature also helps users track the cards they still need for decks and full sets. The app is available on the App Store and Google Play.

Collectivus shows how Sorted can turn [card management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mantel) into a single workflow rather than a set of disconnected tasks, while broader consolidation makes the app more useful for serious collectors who want scanning, pricing and planning in one place.

- **Mobile Software:** Specialized hobby utilities demonstrate how niche mobile apps can gain relevance by solving complex organization and discovery problems.
- **Collectibles Marketplaces:** Accurate digital inventories and valuation data strengthen connections between personal collections, resale activity, and demand forecasting.
