Title: Trade Binders
Post by: MacheteMable on February 07, 2014, 11:00:06 PM
Is there any way it's easily update your binder with a million cards? I haven't done anything with mine because of the insane amount IOC time it will take to put every card in it.

Generally only put rares and mythics in your TB unless the card is worth money, that should help.  Also helps other people when they see it not to have to scroll through 1000 cards worth $.10 each.

That's the problem though. I have a rather extensive collection of rares for standard, modern, legacy and commanderp

If you have literally that many, it's slightly faster to add cards by going into the card database from the home screen, look up each card one by one, and at the bottom of the card page tack up how many of each you have in the "trade binder" folder.  Rinse and repeat.  Other than that, you might want to ask dirtymustacio how he set his up.  I wish you luck though!

I made a word document with every card copy and pasted to my private page
It may take more than one post

Just post the $5+ stuff

Nothing wrong with that, but going through my entire collection and looking up each rare was just as mundane so I did it all. And who knows what somebody may want/need

Only problem with manually updating your private page is that potential trades won't work. People will have to actually scroll through your binder to see what you have.

If that's the only way you can see yourself doing it due to collection size then its fine. Just wanted to point that out.

Astute point, the other reason i went that direction was also being that I was on droid at the time and not iOS.

I've been meaning to scrap it and re-do it all it's just so grueling.

In any case there is another disadvantage to doing it manually.

Once it's in there, it's there, meaning when you trade cards or add cards it's wayyyy easier to alter the binder with a simple search vs manually going in and looking for everything again. Goes for needed as well.
