- Browse or search for cards on the left
- Click any card to add it to your selected collection

Managing Card Quantities & Conditions
Adjusting Quantities
In the Collection Builder’s right panel:
- Click + to add another copy
- Click − to remove one copy
- When quantity reaches 0, the card is removed entirely
Card Conditions
Track the condition of each card entry:
| Code | Condition | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NM | Near Mint | Perfect or near-perfect condition |
| LP | Lightly Played | Minor wear, still excellent |
| MP | Moderately Played | Noticeable wear, fully playable |
| HP | Heavily Played | Significant wear, still legal |
| DMG | Damaged | Major damage (creases, tears, water damage) |
Why track condition? Card condition affects value. The Collection Tracker uses condition data for more accurate value calculations.
Adding Notes
Each card entry can include personal notes — useful for tracking:
- Where you acquired the card
- Trade status or asking price
- Specific details about the card’s condition
Collection Value & Pricing
Real-Time Value Calculation
The Collection Tracker calculates your collection’s total value using market price data:
- 💰 Estimated Value — Displayed in collection views
- Per-card prices — Shown on individual cards
- Auto-updated — Prices refresh from market data
Set-Aware Pricing
The system understands that the same card number can have different values depending on the set:
- Edition Beta cards (promotional) have different prices than Newtype Rising reprints
- The tracker automatically uses the correct price based on your card’s set
Price Priority
When calculating value, prices are selected in this order:
- Near Mint (NM)
- Lightly Played (LP)
- Foil Near Mint
- Foil Lightly Played
