# Getting your cards into Hoard: pick the right path

> How to get cards into Hoard inventory — CSV upload, Quick Add, or scan and review — and what to do once they're in.

There are three ways to get cards into Hoard, and none of them is more "correct" than another. Pick based on what you're starting with: a spreadsheet, a set to browse, or a physical pile to photograph. All three end up in the same place — your inventory, priced with your current rules.

## Which path fits you

**You already have a spreadsheet.** Upload a CSV. This is the fastest path if you're exporting from TCGplayer, Collectr, or another tool that produces a card list. See [upload your first inventory CSV](/tutorials/upload-your-first-csv).

**You have physical cards to photograph.** Use scan and review. Photograph a stack, upload the folder, and Hoard matches each photo against the catalog while you review anything it isn't sure about. Good for a bulk buy, a trade box, or cards you're pulling out of binders. See [scan a stack of cards](/tutorials/scan-and-review-cards).

**You're adding a few cards by hand, or you don't have a scanner-friendly setup.** Use Quick Add. Browse a set, click the cards you have (or say them out loud with Voice Match), and they land in your picks. No file upload required. See [Quick Add](/features/quick-add).

**You're connecting an existing TCGplayer store instead of starting from scratch.** That's a sync, not an intake path — Hoard reads your live TCGplayer listings directly. See [your first sync](/tutorials/your-first-sync).

Cards added through Quick Add or scan and review land as unpublished "staged" inventory first, so you get a look at them before anything goes live on TCGplayer. See [publish staged cards to TCGplayer](/how-to/publish-staged-cards-to-tcgplayer).

## Once your cards are in, now what

Getting cards into Hoard is the first step. These pages cover the maintenance work that comes after:

* [Add a card without a CSV or scanner](/how-to/add-a-card-without-a-csv-or-scanner) — adding one card, or a handful, by hand
* [List a graded, signed, or photographed card on TCGplayer](/how-to/list-a-graded-slab-or-signed-card-on-tcgplayer) — cards with no catalog match
* [Publish staged cards to TCGplayer](/how-to/publish-staged-cards-to-tcgplayer) — turning Quick Add or scan picks into live listings
* [What to do when Hoard can't match a card to your catalog](/how-to/fix-a-card-that-wont-match-your-catalog) — fixing "Needs review" and unmatched imports
* [Why a card shows \$0 after import, and how to fix it](/how-to/fix-a-card-priced-at-zero-after-import) — custom and photo listings with no market price
* [Run a ghost-inventory audit in Hoard](/how-to/audit-and-fix-ghost-inventory-in-hoard) — finding listings that aren't really on your shelf
* [Add foil and non-foil versions of the same card in Quick Add](/how-to/add-foil-and-non-foil-versions-in-quick-add) — keeping finishes separate when adding by hand
* [Take in consignment cards at your shop](/how-to/consignment-intake-checklist) — deciding terms before a binder or shoebox arrives
* [Import a Collectr portfolio into Hoard](/how-to/import-a-collectr-portfolio-to-hoard) — moving from Collectr instead of starting over

## If something looks wrong after intake

A card with no image, a batch that lands entirely in "Needs review," or a listing you don't recognize on your shelf all point back to the same handful of pages above. Start with [what to do when Hoard can't match a card to your catalog](/how-to/fix-a-card-that-wont-match-your-catalog) if the problem is identification, or [Inventory Trust](/features/inventory-trust) if the problem is a quantity that doesn't add up.
