I 100% am on board with this idea. I don't think it would add too much additional load time as it would be a simple linear O(n) search through whatever cards are listed on the screen (for all cards in list(if cardA == cardB then combine; else continue;)). This may take a few more milliseconds, especially if you have 1000 cards listed on your screen, but beyond that I can't see it adding too much time to the wait.

But Dan is correct that the more exceptions you add, the longer the runtime will take. For example, just an extra check to see if the card is serial numbered has a worst case run time of O(n), which bumps the total runtime of the routine to 2n -- still linear and probably not too bad, but you don't want to go overboard.

I am going to pile on here , what if it showed the number you had in parenthesis on the checklist and if you clicked on the card it would list all the cards you had with the condition of each card . On the checklist page it could just show the highest condition/grade of the card you own .

I would absolutely love this.

I would echo the concern of others that it could slow things down. I am not knowledgeable when it comes to programming but this would be great.

I have mentioned this before, and it was not a very popular idea, but I would like to float the notion again of having the option, to have your cards come up with a quantity in parenthesis, rather than list the card several times over. When looking through lists for trades, you could see that a trader had (#272 Joe Smith (17)) seventeen cards of this player, rather than having his name listed 17 times or having to scroll down through 17 images to get to the next card. this would make trading easier, and checking card quantities in your collection easier. Some like the listing option to show a grade and value for each card, perhaps it could be an option to have it either way? Any Thoughts?

The Sun is finally shining on the TCDB. I have brought this topic up many times over the years, and am 100000000000% in favor of the idea. I usually am not this vocal on the boards but am fairly active on the site. I was checking in this morning, and lo and behold here is the topic again. I started reading and went down the line and even to the 2nd page. It appears almost all are in favor. TO ALL MY FELLOW MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, PLEASE LET'S NOT BE CONGRESS AND USE OUR COMMON SENSE, AND GET THIS DONE NOW. Admin, if indeed you are our Santa Claus please bring your kids an early X'mas present. I think the time is now. Sorry for the long rant, I truly believe in this. Wayne !!! (family1)

I'd support this as well.

Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox.

Hmmm, very happy for the support for the idea. I know it has been mentioned by others before (I don't claim this as my idea), just wanted to revisit the subject. I understand there are logistical problems in programming that I have no clues about, but, hopefully with advances in programming, it might be an option someday. Now, about the development of the transporter beam to simplify trades.......
