Andrew Backes

Creator of ScryDex

We owe an immense debt of gratitude to Andrew Backes, the brilliant creator of ScryDex. When Andrew graciously invited us to integrate his remarkable system into our platform, he transformed our vision into reality. ScryDex provides us with unprecedented access to a comprehensive database containing detailed information, images, and pricing for hundreds of thousands of cards across multiple Trading Card Games. Without Andrew's generosity and the incredible foundation that ScryDex provides, our platform wouldn't be a tenth of what it is today. His innovation and willingness to share his creation with us has been absolutely instrumental in making HatakeSocial the comprehensive TCG platform we are proud to offer our community.
