Because of the large amount of singles i have, it is incredibly hard for me to put them in my inventory on here. Does anyone have any tips for how i can submit my collection on here easier?

This is an excellent post by one of our more prominent members who entered almost 100K cards much more quickly than I thought possible:

Great 😃👍 link 

It also seems I have a million to list also (maybe not a million but a large overwhelming lot)

My best advice (is actually member sandyrusty's advice) is to get organized FIRST before even attempting to log it all. But yes, I entered (and needed to sort in about 10,000 cards along the way) around 90,000 cards, including the Donruss dot/no dot, UD hologram, and other VARs.

I have been struggling for years. I do have limited time because I still work. I have strongly been considering starting over and adjusting what I want on the site. I was trying to log my entire collection. I am considering instead logging what I have available for trade and my wants and keeping my collection blank. I don't know that having my collection in the database is important to me.

I do agree that taking the time to organize before entering anything is important.

I probably also need to quit buying and creating more work for myself.

I'm into the second month or so of logging all my wantlists and have plowed through 1½ of the 20 monster boxes of tradeable stuff I have.  Unless there is a big chunk of the same set, it takes me a whole evening to get through half a row of misc. singles.  But I'm also stopping and dropping any card that is missing an image on the site through my automatic scanner.  The shiny ones always take some editing.

Some sets (mostly inserts) have been easy to fill in what I have and what I need, but others are just my wants because entering the rest takes extra work.  I have no intention of cataloguing the rest of my 275K collection otherwise.
