Adding cards

Adding a card by hand

Type in a card's details with + Add card, including graded cards, quantities and what you paid.

For a card you'd rather type in (or one the scanner can't read), choose + Add card at the top of the screen. A new card window opens with the cursor in Player.

A new card window, with the Player, Year, Card #, Set and other fields — Every field saves as you go. There's no Save button to forget.

The fields

Field	What to put
Player	The name on the card. For a team card, the team.
Year	The set's year, such as 1989 or 2025.
Card #	The number on the back, including any prefix (US99, BCP-1, 98T).
Set / brand	The set name, such as Topps Series 1 or Upper Deck.
Parallel / variant / insert	Anything that makes it different from the base card: Gold Refractor /50, Purple Geometric, an insert name. Leave blank for a base card.
Team	The team shown on the card.
Quantity	How many copies you have.
Grading company and Grade / condition	For a slab, such as PSA and 9. Leave both blank for a raw card.
Paid (each) and Purchase date	Optional. Used for gain and loss.
Notes	Anything you want to remember: where you got it, who signed it.

The more exact the details, the better the prices. Card Cabinet prices a card only from eBay listings that match its player, year, set, number, parallel and grade, so "2023 Topps Chrome Gunnar Henderson #21 Gold Refractor /50" gets a much better price than "Henderson Chrome".

If you close a new card while it's still blank, it's discarded.

Then

Choose Add a photo to upload a picture, paste one, or find one on eBay. See Card photos.
Choose Check eBay prices to see what it's listed for. See How prices work.
If the card is in one of the checklists, a Set checklist button appears, which opens the whole set with your cards marked.
