Quick question - does adding sets to your collection duplicate the amount of cards in "my collection"? In other words, I added the 1988 Fleer baseball set to "add sets", but the individual cards are still in "my collection - does that make 1,320 cards? I feel like I should be removing all the "haves" from my collection so the numbers aren't combined.

Thanks!

I'm not sure that it adds to the number, but it should be easy to check. Just keep the Collection page open and remove the set, open the Collection on another page and if it changed, then it keeps track of them that way.

The total cards are added in, they just show up in the details in a separate place. I tried this out with my first set ever made, the 1979 Topps baseball set. You can see how it looks in my collection for Complete Sets - Baseball found here: https://www.tcdb.com/Collection.cfm/member/vrooomed/collection/8

So, you just "removed all cards from collection", and once you added the set, it added them back in - correct?

You find having a "Temp" collection handy. I use mine a lot for testing certain functions out. ------------------------------- Please, no PWE trades!
