Jamie Budesky.
Working card dealer. Founder of AI Card Vault. Building the inventory and listing tool he wanted to use on a Saturday afternoon when the existing options ran out.
What I actually do
I run an active eBay store with 10,000+ cards in working inventory. Pokemon-first, with sports and Magic in the mix. The store ships every day. The software you’re looking at is the daily-driver tool I use to run it.
Why I built the vault
For two years I paid for every card-dealer tool on the market. Each one made me wait, type, or upgrade for things I felt I’d already paid for. After enough Saturday afternoons spent fighting software instead of listing cards, I built the alternative. The full story is in the manifesto.
How I write
Every blog post on this site is something I’ve learned running the store. Set guides, comparison posts, the founder’s notebook entries — all written from inside the workflow, not from outside it. The voice is dealer-first because the audience is dealer-first.
How to reach me
Email is the right channel: [email protected]. I read every message. As long as the vault is operated by one person, the inbox is the support team.
