There's button, an almost unnoticeable one as one flies through familiar site pages, that I've seen for a few weeks but have until today simply ignored. It's this one found on any Set Collection Summary Page.
Once there you'll find some interesting and probably very helpful organization tools. Look at the options!
When added you'll see it this way.
And it can be accessed via the Main Collection page.
I'm surely late to the party, but is anyone else already using this? Would you share what you're doing?
I've only just begun to consider its potential, and will be playing around with it in between completing my collection reorganization project.

Thanks for the heads up. This is a great tool, now you can finally list sets for trade (although I haven't figured out yet how other users can find sets for trade). Hopefully the feature can be tweaked so you can add multiples of the same set at once. Now who wants to trade for my 90 Donruss set lol?

I've been using this for a little while. It is a tool I've used to keep from viewing trade matches involving the Donruss factory sets I own and don't want to break up. As there are different versions between factory and pack cards, I was getting matches for the factory singles from some PC or team collectors. It also allows me to see how close I am to completion of the pack version I own.

I'm thrilled about this addition! I've begun adding my sets to my collection, and removing the individual cards from the sets. I am leaving cards that I have For Sale Or Trade.
I have some sets that I've added to my wantlist, and I have some sets for trade. Nothing major as of yet, but they are there!

That is an interesting use for it and I'm going to consider removing individual cards once sets are completed.

I've just used this to note that I've got the 1990 Topps Uncut Sheets available on my Trade/Sale List. It shows on the Main Page just as I noted on the OP, but this particular one will be grouped with the rest of my Trade/Sale List.
Just wanted to share that for any others that are trading/selling complete sets. I don't know if the notes are visible, but if they are one can note information such as Sealed or Hand Collated in the description, or if a partial set is available one can note what key cards are included/excluded.

I like this concept, but I also like individual card tracking. It would be a great way to track complete sets.
I tested a theory and it adds the total number of cards to the total in the collection which would throw my numbers off if I have them in individually. I think for my collection this won't work for me... May need to mess with it more.
For trade/sale stuff this is genius! I have a ton of 1993 Topps (for example) and being able to build a set and list it as a trade item is perfect.

That is cool. I do find it odd we have to run into changes and updated things to the website. Most wedsite informs you in their forums of changes & updated things. Communication is the key that makes things better.
It was annoying to find a change in a dropdown menu and not know the change had happened. I got in the habit of clicking on it, then going 3 down and clicking again to get where I needed to be. I thought the website was having a problem at first until I saw the order had changed.
On the art website I'm on. When you see the info bar telling you there is a change or update to the website, you click on it to get the info so you can keep up with new features and you are up to date with the website. We have no head-up on changes and have to stumble across them and then work out what they do.
I find this odd. It builds a mental wall between the user of the website and the creators and the people that manage it.
Great job on the post Commish, very informative with the images and what you wrote. Straight ahead and to the point.

What is that behind you!?! Oh, It's me! Looking at the cards you have, That I want. :)
