Upload your first inventory CSV

You don’t need the sync agent to start using Hoard. Upload a CSV export from TCGplayer (or Collectr), and your dashboard fills up with your inventory, market values, and pricing data. Takes about 30 seconds.

​
What you’ll end up with

  • Your full card inventory visible on the dashboard
  • Market values, price gaps, and profit tracking for every card
  • Access to search, filters, movers, and competitive position data

​
Step 1: Export your inventory from TCGplayer

Log into your TCGplayer seller portal and export your inventory as a CSV. The exact steps depend on TCGplayer’s current interface, but generally:
  1. Go to your seller portal at store.tcgplayer.com
  2. Navigate to Inventory or Pricing
  3. Click Export and download the CSV
Save the file somewhere easy to find.
If you use Collectr to manage your collection, you can export from there instead. Hoard auto-detects the format.

​
Step 2: Open Hoard and find the import panel

Go to your Hoard dashboard. If this is your first time, you’ll see a welcome screen with an import area front and center. If you’ve been here before, open the Cards tab, expand Import inventory CSV, and choose your file there. Manual CSV import is meant for setup or recovery. If your agent is already syncing the store, you usually do not need it.

​
Step 3: Drop your CSV

Drag your CSV file onto the import area, or click to browse for it. Hoard reads the file and processes your cards. This usually takes a few seconds, even for large inventories. Hoard auto-detects whether it’s a TCGplayer export or a Collectr export based on the column headers. You don’t need to tell it which format you’re using.

​
Step 4: See your dashboard come to life

After the upload finishes, you land on the dashboard with your full inventory loaded. You’ll see:
  • Stats bar at the top showing total listings, your price, market value, and the spread between them
  • Competitive position showing how your prices compare to the lowest listing on TCGplayer
  • Top movers showing which cards in your collection are changing in value
  • Cards tab with your full inventory in a searchable, sortable table

The numbers update every time you sync. For now, this is a snapshot of your inventory at the moment you exported.

What the numbers mean

StatWhat it tells you
Your PriceThe total value of your inventory at your current listed prices
Market ValueWhat those same cards are worth at TCGplayer’s market price
SpreadThe difference between your price and market. Green means you’re priced above market overall.
UnderpricedHow many cards are listed below what Hoard thinks they should be

​
What to do next

You can explore your inventory right now without setting up the agent:
  • Cards tab — search, sort, and filter your entire inventory
  • Movers tab — see which cards are gaining or losing value
  • Competitive position — find out where you’re leaving money on the table
When you’re ready for automated syncing and repricing, pick a plan (Standard, Pro, or Reserve) and set up the Hoard Desktop or CLI agent. Hoard will keep your inventory fresh and update your prices automatically.

​
Troubleshooting

“Unknown CSV format” — Make sure you’re uploading a TCGplayer inventory export or Collectr portfolio export. Other CSV formats (like order exports) go to a different import page. No cards showing after upload — Check that your CSV has data rows, not just headers. If you exported with filters active in TCGplayer, you might have gotten an empty or partial export. Upload seems stuck — Files up to 50 MB are supported. If your file is larger, try exporting a single product line at a time.
