Hi everyone,

Excited to be trading here.  Might hit 50 trades in my first month.  A few questions...and if the answer is no, are there any work arounds?

- Can you make a custom list?  For example, I recently collected every topps flagship rookie gold cup card (not so humble brag).  I created a spreadsheet to track but is that something I could have done here?

- I've noticed some people are not accepting trade proposals.  Is it possible to do that by set?  If I want to put my 2022 Stadium Club list in but don't want to trade until I've ripped a few more boxes, can I turn off proposals for just that set.

- What do you know now that you wish you need when you first started here?

Thanks in advance!

Chris

Welcome! I'll take a shot.

- You can create multiple collections, so you could have a separate collection for your gold cup rookies.

- I don't think so; at any given time, a member is either open to all trades, or closed to all trades. Probably best to simply not put your needs on your want list until you're ready to trade for them.

- The prices/values attached to each card are mostly unreliable, and more to the point, some (many?) members loathe them and specifically ask that they are not used to balance trades. I figured they were probably unreliable and speculative, and they have gotten a bit better with the inclusion of SportsLots prices, but it took some time to realize just how unpopular they are.

SeventhSon basically covered what you asked, but I'll just add you can create a list that all members can see under a specific section that isn't your collection. The cards would still be in your collection, but the ones you want in particular would be on display in a more public fashion. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of any page, you'll see a list of links that are shortcuts to many parts of the site. Under account, you'll see one that says lists that you can create what I am talking about. Something that is important to know now, is that when submitting an image for a card that needs it, it is not an actual image that is allowed but a scan. If you have a printer scanner, that would work. A scanner on your phone still counts as an image. All I can add.

I second SeventhSon.

In reply to your second question, I suggest to add all your 2022 Stadium Club cards to your collection (highlighted in blue), then when you'll be ready to trade cards from that set, you can go to that set and select "Move duplicates to my For Sale / For Trade list". Meanwhile, just make sure that you turn off " Allow other members to match their Wantlist to your Collection?" on your profile page.
