Pretty new to the trading game here, but have noticed that when I receive a transaction, it adds all the cards to my "main" collection, and not to the collection where the "want list" for that card resides.

Quite possible I'm overlooking something pretty obvious. It would be a big help, as most of my trades span multiple collections and want lists.

According to Bruce Hornsby and The Range, "That's just the way it is. Some things will never change."

I keep my main collection empty so when a trade comes in I can verify I got all the cards and shuttle them off to the correct collection. 

Borderline BRILLIANT... think I'll see if I can make that work as well. Cheers!

One of the reasons we campaigned Admin to create multiple collections was because some of us collect multiple copies of cards. For example, I collect complete sets, Phillies, and HOFers. (HOFers that are Phillies only exist in the Phillies collection.)

Say I'm trying to put together a set (Complete Sets - Baseball collection) and I'm trying to get the Phillies cards (Philadelphia Phillies collection) as well. I have those cards in my want lists twice. Now, I make a deal with someone to get 1 of each of the Phillies cards. Which collection should they be added to? Phillies? Sets? Each person could have their priorities set up differently. Therefore, when Admin implemented the multiple collection feature, he decided that all cards transferred in a trade/sale would go into the "Main Collection" (the first collection in the list, which can be renamed). Those if us who have decided to use multiple collections largely have emnptied the "Main" and use it as a transitional point. I like to look through the cards I have received and move them in to the respective collections I have setup.

Is the main question the one listed first? Because I technically deleted my main collection.

If you go to your collections page, the first one listed in the "Main Collection". It cannot be reordered. It can be renamed.
