Roca has officially hit a huge milestone: 1,000,000,000 trading cards sorted through Roca! That’s one billion cards sorted, sifted, digitized, and made easier to manage for sellers around the world.
One billion cards is a lot of cards –– to put this into perspective, if you were to place the one billion cards end to end, the line would wrap all the way around the Earth nearly four times. Or, if you stacked them on top of each other, the pile would be taller than 600 Empire State Buildings.
The Seller Behind The Billionth Card 
The one billionth card was scanned by John P of Untapped Cards, who just purchased his Roca Sorter this September. That momentous card was none other than Magic: The Gathering’s Run Over.
John recently began selling on TCGplayer and is already a graduate from the Growth Acceleration Program (GAP), a free program where sellers work 1:1 with a Growth Advisor to help reach their full business potential. He credits GAP with helping him take his operation to the next level, which came full circle when just last month, he invested in a Roca Sorter.
“As a one-man operation, the addition of a Roca sorter has been an absolute game changer,” John shared. “Now that my new robot handles basically all of the scanning and sorting, I have more time to focus on sourcing new inventory and other revenue generating work –– or just to step away and take a break while my new machine keeps working!”
Since John purchased his sorter on September 18th, 2025, he has already sorted 54,750 cards.
Why This Milestone Matters
One billion cards isn’t just a number –– it’s proof of the what automation and technology can do for local game stores and online sellers.
That’s one billion times sellers skipped the tedious stuff and let Roca do the heavy lifting. One billion workflows cleaned up, one billion hours given back, and one billion reasons to never go back to hand-sorting again.
Every card sorted with Roca is:
- Time saved, turning manual labor into automation.
- Workflows simplified, making inventory much easier to manage.
- Reduced labor cost, making acquiring bulk a profitable strategy versus a risky one.
One billion cards behind us, and many more ahead. Whether you’ve sorted one hundred cards or one million cards, you’ve been a part of this journey.
