So I have a bunch of old Magic cards entered - some of these sets with my notes, purchase prices, purchase dates, etc. are part of my collection within sets now labeled with (DUPLICATE, TO BE DELETED).

Is there a way to transfer collection details, other than owned or not owned, from these duplicate sets to associated original sets?  Also - I'm not sure why those cards I added to these sets are called the 'duplicate' set, since they were the only version of that set available as a checklist when I added my cards to the collections?

Any workaround?  Thanks.

I believe that before the "DUPLICATE, TO BE DELETED" set is removed from the database, all personal collection information, including your have/wantlist information, will be moved to the set that will remain.  Those members with the authority to do these types of edits have the ability to move collection information over for you without you needing to ask or do anything else.

Yes, when a set is marked as such all collection data is migrated to the new listing. The only time when this wouldn't happen is when a set is completely deleted because it was not eligible for listing in the DB. 

Normally, this marking is used when a new set listing is created because the old set had numerous issues to includes set naming conventions, checklist errors or other major items where creating a new set/migrating info is easier than fixing the current set. Al note that sometime DUPLICATE is used when the same set is uploaded in two different places (i.e., through naming differences) when it's the same exact set. These listing will need to be reconciled and merged. Again, collection data is normally transferred when this happens.

That's great to hear!  Thanks for the reply - this is very helpful.
