Hi All,

Got a couple questions as I progress with organizing my collection on here....As a relatively new member to this site I have been adding new cards as I go to the default "main collection" category.  I would buy packs/blasters/boxes/etc. and dump all the cards into that "main collection" and sort my keepers/wants/for trade accordingly.

I recently decided to add new collection categories such as "personal collection - sets", "personal collections - singles", and "personal collections - for sale/trade" to help better organize everything on here.

As I move cards from the "main collection" to each respective category I was wondering the best way to go about this?  I've started with a couple smaller subsets such as T52 redux & T65 redux so if I screw something up I only have to go back and correct my mistakes with a few cards instead of hundreds.

Current method of reorganizing is as follows - I will pick a set from my "main collection" such as 2021 Topps T52 Redux, choose the action from the top drop down box - move all items to "personal collection - sets", then go to that collection and click on each individual dupe and click on the drop down button to send to my "personal collection - for sale/trade".  I now have my keeper set in a collection and dupes to trade in a separate collection.

My first question is - I was wondering if there is a way to select all dupes in a set at once and send to a different collection or if this has to be done individually via the drop down box.

My second question/observation is - I selected the "move all cards in for sale/trade to collection" from the choose an action drop down box at the top and all the cards that were marked "for sale/trade" disappeared and I can't find them in any of collections.  This is exactly why a picked a small subset to start with lol.

Any feedback/advice you all have is appreciated and moving forward I have a better idea of how I want/should organize cards as I go.

My final thought as I type this is how many different "collections" can we make?  I guess I should go a step further and make one each for Football/Baseball/Basketball/Garbage Pail Kids....c'mon you know you like GPK lol.

Thanks in advance everyone!

To answer second question - you moved them from the status of "FS/FT" to the status of "in collection". They'll be in the same collection they were in before but now as part of your collected cards, not your FS/FT cards.

First question - I don't know, as I haven't played with moving dupes around (I moved a bunch of stuff around when the multiple collections were introduced, but not FS/FT dupes). If you have the complete set, and you have dupes listed as well, you could do the following steps:

Move the entire set's contents to another collection
Move all duplicates to FS/FT
Remove your "collection" cards from that checklist, leaving the FS/FT cards

Anf then re-add the set to the collection you want it to be in.

A little convoluted, but much less time-consuming that doing it all over again.

You're answer to my second question makes sense lol...I had all these collections swirling in my head and forgot that it would just move them from for sale/trade to the current collection.

I hear what your saying about moving the entire set to a different collection then selecting all dupes to for sale/trade and moving to a different collection....I guess the issue I run into there is some dupes I trade others I keep and I just gotta go back thru and figure out the quantities of each I want to keep or trade.  I was hoping there was a way to move cards already marked for sale/trade to another collection, but I'm thinking there isn't.  Not the end of the world and glad I'm making these changes early on.

Thanks for feedback!

If in the Collection, you have both cards in your collection and dupes that are listed for trade, you can isolate just the Traders and move those items to where you want them to be. I do it all the time.
