PFU America, Inc. and Kronozio Introduce Document Scanner-Powered Bundle to Turn Trading Card Collections into Cash

PFU America, Inc., the U.S.-based subsidiary of PFU Limited and the leader in document scanning solutions, today announced a new partnership with Kronozio, a trading card inventory management software company, to launch the “Trading Cards2Cash Professional” bundle. This new bundle combines Kronozio’s trading card inventory management and selling software with the award-winning RICOH fi-8170 high-performance document scanner, and is designed to help trading card sellers streamline their workflow, enabling sellers to scan high volumes of cards, automatically capture card details, and generate online listings faster.

The global trading card market has surged in recent years, fueled by online marketplaces and growing collector demand. The “Trading Cards2Cash Professional” bundle was designed to meet this demand and features:

• RICOH fi-8170 Document Scanner: The compact, high-performance document scanner comes with an auto-feeder that can process 2,500 cards per hour (front and back) with best-in-class image quality to show buyers the condition of the cards.
• Risers and Catch Bin Manufactured by Laskis Innovations: Risers elevate the scanner by two inches, maximizing the number of cards that can be processed at one time. The Catch Bin comes with foam strips and protects the cards into a neat pile of ~140 loose cards or ~27 cards in 3” x 4” top loaders.
• Kronozio Software License Key: A 12-month license for one user, with capacity for 3,200 AI card documentation jobs per month, as well as the ability to manage 2,500 online listings at a time.
• 25 Ultra Pro Top Loaders: Pack like a professional with 25 hard plastic rigid card sleeves with super clear PVC. The 3” x 4” is designed to safely ship standard size cards (2-1/2” x 3-1/2”) up to 35 points in thickness.
• 100 Ultra Pro Penny Sleeves: Protect trading and gaming cards during sorting and handling. These sleeves are designed to hold 2-1/2” x 3-1/2” (63.5mm x 88.9mm) standard size cards up to 35 points in thickness. They are made with clear non-PVC, acid-free, and archival-safe polypropylene film.
• 10 Bubble Envelopes: 10 4” x 8” mailer self-seal bubble paper envelopes, inner size 4” x 7”—ideal to ship cards in top loaders.
