How to add a card to your TCGplayer inventory manually

If you’ve got one card, or a handful, adding it to your inventory manually is faster than building a CSV or photographing anything. Hoard’s Quick Add is a browse-and-click set picker: you find the card, click it, and it’s in your picks with a condition and a price.

​

Step 1: Open Quick Add

Click Add Inventory in the left sidebar, or go to tryhoard.com/collect directly. On mobile, it’s under More → Add Inventory.

​

Step 2: Pick the game

Tabs across the top cover 22 games, including Magic, Pokemon, Pokemon Japan, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, and more. Hoard remembers whichever game you used last, so most of the time you won’t need to touch this.

​

Step 3: Find your card

You don’t have to open a set first. Type the card’s name straight into the search box — “greninja,” “lightning bolt” — and Hoard searches every set in that game at once. Each result shows the set and collector number, so you can tell near-identical printings apart. If several printings come back, filter chips for rarity, variant, or game-specific facets (type, energy, color) narrow the list. If you’d rather browse a specific set, type the set name instead, or tap it from the list. Sets are grouped into five-year eras you can collapse or expand.

​

Step 4: Set the condition and click the card

The condition pills at the top of the picks sidebar (NM, LP, MP, HP, DMG) set the default for anything you add next. Pick the right one before you start clicking if you’re working through a stack that’s all the same grade — you can still adjust individual cards afterward. Not sure how to grade a card? The Condition guide link at the top of the page walks through it. Click the card to add it. It shows up in the Picks sidebar (a tray at the bottom on mobile) with a running count and estimated value. If your hands are full of cards, tap the mic button (Voice Match) instead and say the card name out loud — you can pack condition, printing, and quantity into the same phrase, like “two lightning bolt near mint.”

​

Step 5: Review and add

Click Review & Add to see everything in your picks with thumbnails, conditions, and quantities before committing. This step is auto-saved as a draft, so closing it doesn’t lose your picks. Click Add to inventory to finish. The cards land in your inventory already priced with your current rules — but as unpublished, staged inventory. Nothing goes to TCGplayer yet. See publish staged cards to TCGplayer for that step.

​

Undoing a mistake

Misclicked the wrong card, wrong quantity, or wrong condition before you’ve added anything? Press Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac) to undo the last action — it works for adds, quantity changes, and removals, and it’s wired globally so you don’t need to be focused on a specific field. If you already clicked Add to inventory and the card is now staged, open the Staged filter in the Cards tab toolbar to find it, then correct the quantity or condition directly on that row, or remove it if it shouldn’t be there at all.

​

What if the card doesn’t come up in search

Cards with no TCGplayer catalog match — a graded slab, a signed card, something with a photo attached instead of a barcode — don’t go through Quick Add’s set browser. See list a graded, signed, or photographed card on TCGplayer for that path instead. If the card should exist in the catalog but nothing is matching, see what to do when Hoard can’t match a card to your catalog. For the full feature reference — layouts, keyboard shortcuts, Voice Match phrasing, and foil handling — see Quick Add. If you’re building a list without an account, or want a plain CSV to upload yourself instead of adding to Hoard, build a list and price it covers that flow.
