Trade Routes Logo

Trade Routes is a peer-to-peer marketplace for Magic the Gathering cards, built by me and Kyle.

The Marketplace

Trade Routes hits a niche in the trading card market that was previously unfilled. It provides the ability to buy and sell cards peer-to-peer, but with a robust search capable of indexing all listing and card metadata.

Features include detailed card filtering, direct buyer-seller communication, and a data model tuned for accurate card matching, so collectors can find exactly what they want faster.
