Backers! We are over the FRICKIN' MOON that we're in the final fifteen hours of the CardMill Kickstarter and we're on the cusp of hitting $2 Million! Not in our wildest dreams when we launched the Kickstarter did we think we'd hit $2M! But here we are...and in celebration, here you go!

If the CardMill Kickstarter hits $2M before 9am CT tomorrow morning on August 21st, then CardMill will surprise 30 backers with a bonus gift bundle as a big thank-you! Thirty backers for the thirty days it took our Kickstarter to reach $2M. What’s included in the surprise gift?

EVERYTHING.

We're calling it the Golden F$(*&#$'n Ticket Bundle! And thirty lucky backers will be gifted one of everything in the Kickstarter in addition to their own pledge! And yes, that includes a Ghost Edition CardMill!

The Golden F$(*&#$'n Ticket Bundle will include:

• One Ghost Edition CardMill
• One Standard Color 27-Slot Sorting Tray
• One Standard Color 13-Slot Sorting Tray
• One Standard Color Unslotted Sorting Tray
• One Set of Sorting Dividers and Perfect-fit Sleeves
• One CardMill Card Column
• One Hopper Extender
• One Alphabetical Sorting Mat
• One Tony Moy Alphabetical Sorting Mat
• One Tony Moy Standard Playmat
• One Tony Moy Deck Box
• One Aaron Miller Alphabetical Sorting Mat
• One Aaron Miller Standard Playmat
• One Aaron Miller Deck Box

EVERYONE ELSE...

30 lucky backers is one thing, but we're just overwhelmed in celebration that we want everyone to get a little something! So in addition, we're also giving everyone else a 20% discount on the Ghost Edition upgrade! This means if you choose to upgrade your CardMill unit to the Ghost Edition, the upgrade will only be $40 instead of $50. That, combined with our 30 lucky backers, is our way of saying "thank you" for getting us to where we are today! You'll receive a coupon code via email to apply toward the Ghost Edition upgrade when backer surveys go out in 6-8 weeks.

Will we hit this $2M milestone? We have no clue! But we're close and that's pretty exciting! And if we hit it? Then we also want to host a livestream celebration event (date announced soon). We hope we get to do this!

Thank you for all your support, all your energy and all your belief in the CardMill! We can't wait to get it into your hands!

* This is not a sweepstakes, raffle or contest. There will be no entry process or drawing. Recipients will be selected internally in a fair and unbiased way. These are surprise thank you gifts we're sending directly to backers as a way of showing our appreciation. We'll send out gift emails during the livestream event (date announced soon)!

⏳ 24 Hours Left – Last Chance!
10 months ago – Wed, Aug 20, 2025 at 07:00:59 AM

This is it. The final 24 hours of the CardMill Kickstarter!

We know some of you have been waiting until the very last minute — and we get it. But today is your day to act. After 9:00 AM CT on August 21, the campaign will close and the chance to back CardMill at the lowest price ever will be gone.

After the campaign close, late-backing will be available, but it’ll cost more. So if you want the early adopter price, today’s your last chance.

Secure your CardMill now, and let it do the hard work of scanning and sorting your collection for you — while you get to relax.

Please be sure to make your final selections for any add-ons to your order before the Kickstarter campaign officially ends. Prices for CardMill™ devices and most add-ons will go up after 9:00 am CT August 21st.

• Select your core add-on items like extra trays, hopper extenders, card columns, sleeves, dividers, tubes, or CardMill™ alphabetical sorting mat. Items will be available post campaign items will still be available but pricing will go up on August 21st.
• Prices on artist related items like artist play mats, artist alphabetical sorting mats, artist deck boxes etc. will not go up as the art won’t be revealed until you do the backer survey.
• Please note, in about 8 weeks, we'll send out backer surveys so you can choose your CardMill color, tray colors, artist options, and if you want to upgrade to the ghost edition for $50.

We’re down to the last 48 hours of the CardMill Kickstarter! What a month this has been — the excitement, the feedback, the stretch goals, and most importantly the incredible community of backers who’ve made CardMill a reality.

New Videos: CardMill in Action!
10 months ago – Mon, Aug 18, 2025 at 11:43:21 PM

You’ve been asking for more demonstrations — and we’ve delivered! We recorded three brand-new videos showing CardMill handling real cards in different scenarios.

📹 Check them out here:
1️⃣ Alphabetical Sort – Watch CardMill sort ~100 cards from a prerelease pack of 6 fresh MTG packs into alphabetical order with 97% accuracy. No jams, no damage.

2️⃣ Sorting by Type (with Perfect-fit Sleeved Cards!) – See CardMill handle Perfect Fit–sleeved cards and sort them by type. Yes, it works even with sleeves!

3️⃣ Condition Testing – We take a closer look at the condition of the cards after a sort.

CardMill is built to be flexible, accurate, and durable — whether you’re sorting for play, cataloging for your collection, or pricing for trade. These videos give just a small taste of what the system can do, and we can’t wait to share even more as we keep testing and refining.

This is CardMill V1 prototype. We are actively in process of developing V2, our production model, and are exploring increasing speed, tray capacity, card handling, accuracy and much more. Currently V1 takes 1 hour to process 300 cards. We are targeting to get that down to 30-40 min per 300 cards. Thanks to our Kickstarter backer’s support we can invest more and push this product to new heights.

Thank you all for the amazing support, feedback, and ideas. Keep them coming! 💬

🎉 Ghost Edition Stretch Goal Unlocked! 👻
10 months ago – Fri, Aug 15, 2025 at 08:27:32 AM

We are thrilled to announce that CardMill has reached its $1.5M stretch goal, and what an amazing goal it is!

Since we announced it, the Ghost Edition of the CardMill has gotten a lot of attention and hype. And we get it! There's so much that happens within the CardMill unit as it scans and sorts your prized cards. The transparency we've revealed in its design lets you see what's going on inside the walls of the CardMill as it moves your cards from the hopper to the sorting tray. 

Now, with this unlocked stretch goal, you'll be able to select the Ghost Edition version of the CardMill during the post campaign backer survey. The Ghost Edition will be an optional $50 add-on, per CardMill you wish to have in the Ghost style (to cover the different materials and manufacturing costs).

If you purchased multiple units, you don't have to upgrade them all. Want one in green, one in red, one in blue, and two Ghost Editions? No problem — you can mix and match however you like, and you’ll only pay the $50 upgrade for the units you select as Ghost Editions.

This is your chance to make each CardMill your own and secure the transparent, limited-run Ghost Edition for the ones you want.

As previously announced, the Ghost Edition will only be available for this Kickstarter - we will not offer it again after Kickstarter orders are fulfilled!

One of the best ways to say "I was in on the CardMill from the very beginning!"

Thank You -- for helping us get here.
