The real incumbent is a sticker gun.
Most dealers don't run dealer software. They run a marketplace app in one hand, a spreadsheet at home, and handwritten stickers on the case. Here's how the tool categories stack up on the jobs that keep a case honest — and where Slabfactor stands.
Categories, not companies — and the landscape moves. As of August 2026.
| The dealer job | Marketplaces & listing repricers | POS & channel-sync platforms | Label-first vendor tools | Collector apps | Spreadsheet + sticker gun | Slabfactor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price the case from live market data | card-by-card lookups | online listings, not the case | yes — young, sports-first | collection estimates | by hand, card by card | yes — dated market price, your ask |
| Print market-priced price labels | no | no — receipts and shipping only | yes | no | handwritten stickers | yes — compact labels at the table |
| Price source + as-of date on the label | no label to carry it | no | thin — price, rarely provenance | no | whatever got written down | yes — source and date, printed |
| QR on the label to a live card page | no | no | no | no | no | yes — every label links out live |
| Reprice the case without rescanning | listings reprice, cases don't | online stock only | yes — drift and reprint | no | pull every card again | yes — stale labels surface themselves |
| One inventory for the whole crew | one seller login | yes — store-shaped | single-dealer today | personal collections | whoever has the file | yes — staff share one record |
| Independent of marketplace custody | no — it runs the market | some are marketplace-owned | yes, today | not their fight | completely | yes — no cut, no custody |
Where we stand
The difference is the label contract.
Printing a market-priced label stopped being unique in 2025 — good. Slabfactor's difference is what the label carries: the price's source and the date it was pulled, printed next to your ask, and a QR that opens the card's live page. Behind it, one record built for a whole crew. And the stance: no marketplace, no storefront, no checkout — we take no cut of anything you sell.
