General Forum

New to the site. I did search the forums and the FAQ first.  I like this site and I think I'm settling here to enter my collection for tracking purposes.  But, I figured, I'd start with all my sets.  Easy enough to figure out how to add all the cards for a set at once.  But, how can I set a baseline condition for the cards in the set.  As an example, 1977 Topps Baseball set in EX-MT condition.  It seems like it has me "Add all cards" from the set to my collection, but then it never asks for condition and populates the condition as blank.  Is it really telling me to then enter the condition 660 times?

I can see doing it card by card for my singles when i get there.  But, for sets, I'd think you could set a baseline condition for all cards in the set and then edit any outliers as needed after.  Really hoping there's an answer to this.  Thanks!

Welcome to the site!

That's a good question, but I don't know if there is a good answer.  I'm not sure how many people pay attention to the condition of cards they have marked as in their own collection.  Even when trading, I'm thinking that most people are like me and consider it to be Near Mint to Mint unless otherwise specified.

But if it is important to you (and knowbody else knows where the magic button is) then you can always request that Admis adds the feature.  There is a long-running post that is the repository for various site improvement requests:

The "To Do" List

Welcome to the database. There's nothing else like it. :) I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here.

There are still some struggles in getting cards in here. I know I haven't listed all my For Sale/For Trade cards because it's too tough to enter the amounts for individual cards. As far as condition, I personally, haven't really played with it, so I can't help you on this one. From my experience with adding sets (my main collection activity here), I don't see a way to add details (which is what condition is considered on this site) when doing a mass add.

Thanks for reading the FAQ and forums before asking. :) You'll do fine here. The Admin here is very active, involved, and helpful. You can always send a private message using the screen name "Admin" and ask if there is a way to do this. Even if there isn't today, doesn't mean there won't be one soon!

Thanks, Guys!
