I started building Wax Cache after work last December. A few weeks ago, Fanatics reached out to me about it. A demo turned into conversations, those conversations turned into interviews, and now I’m joining @Collect as a Senior Software Engineer!
I’ve been a collector my whole life, so this honestly still feels surreal. I never imagined something I built in my free time would lead to an opportunity like this. Getting to combine my career with an industry I’ve been passionate about for as long as I can remember is a dream come true.
This next chapter also comes with a difficult decision. Wax Cache will be shutting down on November 30. It’s incredibly bittersweet, and making this decision wasn’t easy, but I’m ready to give this new opportunity at Fanatics 100% of my focus.
To everyone who gave Wax Cache a shot, subscribed, shared it, or sent feedback, thank you. You helped turn a side project into something real, and I’m genuinely proud of what Wax Cache became. I couldn’t be more grateful for the support.
If you’re using Wax Cache, please make sure to export your collection and save any card images you want to keep before November 30. I’ve put together a page with everything you need to know about the shutdown, subscriptions, and refunds.

As our marketplace continues to expand and enhance the collector experience, we’re introducing additional safeguards and improvements to protect our community and maintain the trust of our buyers and sellers.
Alongside our existing Premier Auction guidelines, we’ve implemented bidding limits for new and unverified users in our Weekly Auctions.
We’re also requiring collectors to have a payment method on file before placing a bid or making an offer in our marketplace.
Additionally, we’ve enhanced our Vault’s physical inspection processes to better identify potential issues with grading holders and are continuing to strengthen our shipping and delivery processes to provide greater confidence throughout fulfillment.
These enhancements reflect our ongoing commitment to protecting the integrity of our marketplace and creating a more secure collecting experience.
Your trust is at the heart of everything we do.
Thank you for being part of our community.

Still learning on this and full disclosure when I feel comfortable will very much likely become an affiliate if they don’t block me by then. It’s user friendly. Can be used on the go and in office (my personal preference). Affordable as well.

If you don’t have @wax_cache you’re missing out.
If you wanna try it for 50% off your first month, use code “MOCK10”! You won’t be disappointed.
