Co-Founders
Stephen Patterson & Arthur Datangel
Steve grew up in The Bronx, and entered many NYC comic-con halls hoping to convince editors he was ready to pencil the next great book. Fortunately, he had a back-up plan: Computer Programming. This led to Game Producing, which led to Mobile App Production, then Collectionary. Favorite Comic Artist: John Byrne
Art grew up in San Francisco, CA. Much of his past is shrouded in secrecy, but we do know he was a American Lit major at UC Santa Cruz -- Go Banana Slugs! His career includes Game production with his own Development Studios, Biz Dev, and Mobile App Production. Favorite Comic Writer: Neil Gaiman
Collectionary Contributors:

WHAT'S IN STORE FOR 2021
-
Our biggest update for 2021 will be "In-app shopping" -- Providing a fast and easy way to check if a book is currently available for purchase online. Collectionary will show prices, condition, and the grading company (when slabbed).
-
Text Search will be expanded to allow creator names to be included, and to allow searches for the key events we currently shown on the app's MORE DETAILS page, such as "cameo" and "first appearances". This will allow users to more easily build their personalized list of desirable books.
-
Some books only sell infrequently, so we'll be adding Historical Price charts. This will give users a broader view of price trends on a book, and be especially useful for those books that don't have "Recent Sales".
-
Cover Image camera search is a core feature for Collectionary which will be updated to make it faster & more accurate, and moved out of Beta.
-
Optimally, the Android version will be released by end of year.
