Site Forum

On this evening of debates I thought I'd lobby the membership for their support for one of my proposed new features listed on the new feature tracker tool listed under the title subject  "Unopened Material Card Quantities".

I'd greatly appreciate your support by considering to move it up on your own feature rankings.  Great feature for those who collect unopened product (as i do) or may have aspirations to do so.

For unopened material collections, this would add the ability to enter the quantity of trading cards contained within the packaging type (Pack, Box, Case, etc.).  This would allow the collector and other members to see how many individual cards are contained in the pack/box/case as not always is this information discernible from the photos of these products.  In many instances, this information was not marked on the packaging.  This information would also allow users to track the total number of cards in their collection that are of the unopened variety vs the standard opened product.

This feature would allow the user to detail the number of cards within each pack as well as the number of packs within a box, tray, case, factory set, or vendor box.  Combined, this enhancement would enable users to track the grand total number of cards in their unopened inventory regardless of the type of unopened material that is entered in their collection. 

Currently, the site only allows collectors to track the quantity of unopened package items and not the number of cards within each package type.

Thank you!  I approve this message. :)

I have just been entering in to my collection complete wax boxes with all unopened packs and had the same exact thought as mentioned by steelcityauctions. Having the grand total number for collectors who have items like this would be nice to be able to see. Great post and suggestion!!

Have been browsing the forums about this a little more. My first response on here was related to the first topic I clicked on. I know that packs come in different quantities and have some of them myself. I'm not positive if all packs list the number of cards anymore, but packs from older years say the quantity on them. 1989 Topps Baseball and 1989 Topps Football for 2 examples. Each of those came with 15 cards per wax pack and says that right on the wrapper. Examples could go on and on but can there be a way created to list known packs/ quantities?
