I am wondering if adding details for a card being listed in my for sale/trade can be seen by those interested. For example I have 1 83-84 OPC hockey #104 Tim Higgins (who?) up for trade and have added the details "off center 70/30 L-R". Most of the cards I am making availabe are in great condition, but for a few I feel obligated to be upfront about things. If someone were to click mentions in collection link, then on the For Sale/Trade link would they be able to see that note? Is there anyway someone would be able to see that ... or am I just wasting my time? 

I believe you can add the note to the "Comments" section when viewing the individual card and it will then show up to people who are interested in trading for it within the trade menu. Not 100% sure but I think this works.

That's not a waste of time. It's actually a very useful tool, especially for vintage. Hopefully more members will use it.

This is what I see when I click on the "Mentions" link.

Did you remove the note?

I would see the condition if it was in a transaction between you and me. The actual note would transfer once a trade is marked received, but I cannot say that we'd see the note otherwise.

I think I submitted a new feature request to create a blank section under the grade dropdown or somewhere to show a note (filled in by the person listing) that could be used to show things like Marked/unmarked for CL's, glow or non-glow for cards with that variation and other such variations not listed on the site or that do not exacly match the presets in the dropdown menu.

To answer the ? I do not think comments show to anyone other than the person who lists the card.

No not removed. I seem to only be able to see when I view my collection within the set. Shows I have 3 blue & 1 green (for trade). On the far right of the green I can see the comment. I wish I could cut & paste it here to show you. How did you paste that screenshot to your message?

You are correct, I seem to be the only one who can see it. Bad enough I sometimes talk to myself ... now this 

if  i go into your trade collection and open 83-83 o pee chee for sale/trade. I then scroll down to your  104. Click on the blue square. Your personal image shows in small frames with price..If i scroll the mouse over the front picture. A comment box opens with  "Front off center 70-30 L-R. " Only if mouse is scrolled over it.  I put it on my wantlist , did a match trade. Its not showing anything at all. Just the TCDB image.

I think that you can add your own images that people can see when looking at it. It would be faster to snap a pic and upload if on your phone than making percise notes.

I put comments on any of my For Sale/Trade cards that I think have condition issues worth mentioning. I did not realized the comments are not very readily accessible by other members. I think it would be ideal for the comments to pop up in some way when those cards are involved in transaction proposals.
