Getting Started with Wax Cache

Wax Cache is a digital inventory for physical collections: boxes, cards, photos, and share links.

What is Wax Cache?

Wax Cache is a digital inventory management system for physical card collections. It helps you:

  • Organize cards into digital boxes that mirror your physical storage
  • Track box locations (shelf, closet, room, etc.)
  • Search and retrieve cards instantly
  • Generate QR codes for physical boxes
  • Share read-only views of your collection

Quick Start Guide

1

Create Your Account

If signups are open, create an account. Otherwise, sign in with an existing account.

2

Create Your First Box

Click "New Box" and name it after your physical box (e.g., "Bedroom Closet - Baseball"). Set its location.

3

Scan Cards

Use the Scan screen to capture sports or TCG cards, then review and save the suggested details.

4

Generate QR Code

Print a QR label and stick it on the physical box so scanning opens the public box page.

5

Search & Retrieve

Search by player/character, set, year, and notes. Use QR labels for quick access.

Pro Tip: Start with your most valuable or frequently accessed boxes first. You can always add more boxes later as you organize your collection.
