With the recent faiulres of my favorite site, it is time to move to another site.  I recently exported my cards form Zistle and have settled in here.  

is there an easy way to import all my cards to the TCDB or do i have to do each card line by line?

thanks,

Ben

Don't think I've heard of an easy import. For full or nearly complete sets you can use the available drop downs to add all cards to your collection and remove cards as needed. There is also a "add multiples" function if you have a lot of cards to add to your for sale list or collection. If using that function make sure the drop down is set to add them to the correct spot.

I wish there were an easy import.

yeah...i was afraid you would say that...

i dont have many "complete" sets so i guess line by line it is

I'm still holding out of entering my entire FS/FT list hoping for an import feature. However, I have not looked at the new tools in a while. There are some improvements that have been made over the last couple years to really quicken the process.

Took me months to log in my entire collection - 90,000+ cards.

I've been working on it or almost a year and have almost 24,000 cards out of about 32,000 logged.  From their I will work on wantlists and sell lists, etc.  It is a long process, however, I do have to admit, I am finding it very satisfying and fun.  There may be something wrong with me.

This has been a big roadblock for me as well, since I spent so much time entering all my St. Louis Cardinals cards into Zistle. (or, rather, doing a lot of mouse-clicking). I'll probably get around to jumping into it one of these rainy days or thirty. In the meantime, I've been slowly adding my Blazers stuff and getting used to the interface.

I have found that the fastest way to add all cards from a specific set to different parts of your collection (FS/T, Collection, Wants) is to checkmark all of your traders first and then use the dropdown box at the top of the checklist to move all of them to your For Sale/Trade List. Then just clicking the checkmark box for the cards you want to keep will automatically add them to your collection. To add wants, you can use the dropdown menu at the top of the CL page to add everything that's missing to your wants list if you want to complete the set OR use the dropdown menu for each individual card that you do want (if you only want certain players/teams) to add it to your wants list.

If you go to the Colletion Summary page - available for set, person or team- it'll go quicker. I entered my entire collection, around 130,000 cards, in 5 weeks in October-November 2012.
