Don't know if this has been proposed before, but this is what I am thinking.

When a new set comes out, I would like to be able to add all of the cards from a particular team to my wantlist with 1 click. For example...2022 Topps Chrome Update comes out. I would like 1 click to add all of the Houston Astros cards from that set including base, inserts and parallels to my wantlist.

That would be beneficial to many people here who like to collect a certain team,

You already can do this.  Go to the set you want, Collection Summary, Add / Update, narrow down the field to just the team you want to add, and then under choose and action, Add all missing cards to want list. This should only add those cards listed by the filters to your wants.

Seeing now that you want to include parallels and inserts, you can still do most of them by using the filters from the Team's page. Click on Collection Summary, Add / Update, Filters, select the year you want, and the brand, e.g. Topps.  Click on Apply and there is your list. You can then "Add all missing cards to Wantlist"

I would like that too.  Some sets these days have 200-300 insert/parallel sets.  Adding all the Pacers, one set at a time, takes more time than I am willing to spend.

As a Reds only collector, I wanted to do just that. When I look at the Reds from a particular set, it gives me the option of looking at all the insert and parallel sets for the Reds. However, when I update my collection, only the base set appears. So I made a new feature request to allow updating the inserts and parallels from a team all at once. It is on the to be voted on list.

Thanks for the responses.

In sandy's example, maybe after narrowing down to  just your team, the first option (or last) could be Base Set + all inserts and parallels.

I think if you try my method, you will find it actually does exactly that.  I just experimented with the Toronto Blue Jays, Filters: 2008, Topps.  I left it at all sets and all set types.  I got everything from the base set, parallels, printing plates, and inserts.  I did not get any other of the Topps issues such as Opening Day or Update.

Bruno is correct. The option is already available from the team's page. It is not availabe from a set's page.

Good info.  I didn't follow that when he said it the first time.  I thought he was on the set page, not the team page.  Very useful, thanks Bruno!

As stated, go to your team/player and under your collection you will have pull downs.   The "Wants" pull down shows what you have listed that you want.   The "Do Not Have" pull down shows what you want and cards you have not listed any place. (new cards listed)

The New Feature Request   New Feature Tracker | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com).   Changes that so the "Do Not Have" only shows cards what you have not place on any other list.   Also would have a "Do Not Want" list so if you do not want said card(s) you can put it on the list.  That would take care of members not wanting the 1 of 1 or other card(s) of the team/player that you are not collecting showing up on other lists.  

If that feature is approved and done a member can check it (say) once a week and there should only be a few to go through and verify if you want them.   That would also go for players.

As of now if you look at the "Wants" and the "Do Not Have" lists the number should be the same.  If the "Do Not have" list has more, you know there are cards added that you have not put into your "Want" list.   Then you have to look through all of that list to find what card is missing from your want list or just add all missing cards without looking. That is the work around.  If the "Wants" list has more cards you know you have listed a card(s) more than once.
