Site Forum

It can be daunting to a person looking to start a mega collection of somebody and see there are thousands upon thousands of cards for their favorite player or team. It feels like I can be in the "reddit all" section with my personal collection. The TCDB is great, and I love to know what cards are there to chase after, but is there a way I can...not always know what cards are there? 

I guess I'm asking for something that is the opposite of what this site strives for at it's core lol, the full and complete list.

But like it is on ebay, when there are 25,000 cards of some guy I'm interested in, but I can filter by memorabilia, numbered, etc and parse my selection down. I just want the option to view it this way (sometimes) if possible

Especially the printing plates (to talk on myself)

Have you played with the filters on the profile page?

Yes. But the filters are more for tracking down cards. 

Taking Stephen Strasburg for example on every single page going though there are 25-30 or more 1/1 card options there out of the 100 displayed, and while there are platinums and super fractors and stuff, printing plates seem to be a big % of the first 15 pages at least. 

Of course I'm not going to get to 100% complete, but if I can eliminate some of the things I can at least have a more blue list haha

As of now when you go to a player's name and then to ad/update.  You will see a pull down, not sure why it is located just there.  Several members would like it in other places.

On the pull down there are lists:

All,     Haves,   Wants,   For Sale/Trade,  in-Transaction,   In-Transit  and No Status.   

Before the No Status was made the Wants had all your wants and other cards of the player that you have not marked.  Now the No status shows only all the cards you have not marked in Haves or Wants.

The plan was to have a Do Not Want list also, but Admin stated that is farther down the road.  Then we can put cards we are not interested in (so 1/1s, var) in it and we will not see them on our want lists or No Status lists.  Not sure if he would have them on the ALL list.

As stated above it is Only in one area.   Several members have brought it up wanting it in other areas, but I do not know if they have put in a new feature request.    Like you filter a card by notes and then just look at your Wants.
