If i have 3 of the same of the card, what is the proper way to enter that into the datebase? I would like to keep one and trade the other two. Would I add one card to my collection and two cards to for sale trade? Or three to my collection and two to my for sale trade? I would like my collection to be as accurate as possible before i add to many cards. Thank you in advance!

One to your Collection and two to your For Sale/Trade. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Not sure why I didn't know this. I have been trying to get every card I own into the site, and then I was going to move things to For Sale/Trade. Is there an easy way to move all doubles to the For Sale/Trade list? Oh well, I enjoy my time on the site, so I actually look forward to fixing this mistake on my part.

Within a set, you can move all duplicates to trade list, from the drop menu above the checklist. I don't think you can do the whole collection at once though. One set at a time, I think. But with new features being added so frequently, it's possible I missed something.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

No matter how many doubles I have to tradee, I only enter one in the For Sale / Trade list so as not to clutter other people's searches or matches from their Want List to my Trade List. If someone asks for a card in trade, when I pull the cards in the trade, I add another one to my For Sale Trade list at that time. When the ongoing transaction is complete, one of the cards get transferred out leaving once again, just the one in my For Sale Trade list.

I enter all at same time but then my problem is I forget to manually to remove one when I send it out in a trade as a "THANK YOU" to the trading partner or in a PAY IT FORWARD or birthday present

“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.”
