If I was close enough to you, I would donate this 5000 count box of 89 Bowman I just chucked into the recycle bin tonight! That would be the right test subject (other than the unusually larger size, but 90 Donruss would work too).
Sounds like a good idea if it could be perfected to avoid any damage and cheap enough for the average card collector to afford. Good luck to you.

Sure, you're right there but that's why we're focusing on the protection on the cards. We're looking at a roller system that only makes contact with the card once. Some games even use something like this already; like the uno attack game. We have one that has been used for a couple of years now and all damage to the cards are from play not the machine. The roller is on the exact same spot on all cards and it doesnt even leave a mark on it. No rips, wear, or even discoloration. But we hear you and we're making it so now sleeves are needed but can be if wanted.
How big would it be?
We're thinking something of a cylinder base maybe 1 to 2 feet in diameter, then hight wise again 1 to 2 feet, but we'll see. we would like to make it small and convientent for the individual user to use easily.

initally i think it would be best to do by the numbers. and also have a battery back up that would let it run for one or two cycles and then shut down incase of power loss, (being plugged in) and if we wanted portability maybe since your desiging this thing have a portable rechargeabel battery pack. also maybe after you get this more in the line of up and running think of this, since we here all have computers, maybe allow us a user interfae program that will allow us too choose otehr options like color numbers or letters or a combo of all. this could also bring the size and weight down in your design too. kepp up the work will be intresting to see what ya come up with.

I have over 500,000 cards...still haven't been able to sort them all!
Sure! And yes that would be down the line and we'll see how far we get this. We're starting to design the unit and have to think about materials and what we can actually get. But we do like the idea of an individual component of "you" programing or adjusting settings.
Thanks!
Comparing speed to effectiveness, look at the corresponding ROC curves to determine that. You just have to estimate the average user. If you ask, you will always get 100% correct with 100 times speed up. As a note, not everyone is a perfect sorter either. You can easily determine the ROC's.
2ft diameter by 2ft high is HUGE. Probably ok for a store or major case buster but probably not for joe blow collector.
You got that right ! When I attack a big stack of cards I start by sorting by card # into piles of say 0's to 30's and 40's to 70's and then attack each pile by sorting them down to 0's and 10's and 20's etc. Then i start collating them into proper #'d order (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11.......) and it never ceases to amaze me how often I find #77 in the stack of 20's or #11 in the 90's.
