How to replace a card inventory spreadsheet

Decide what the spreadsheet is doing today

• Identity: year, player or character, set, card number, variant, rarity, team, game, or publisher.
• Storage: location, box, binder, shelf, case, or show inventory.
• Money: value, cost, sold price, profit/loss, and listing state.
• Media: front image URL, back image URL, and public sharing context.

Import without losing structure

Spreadsheet imports are paid Hobby workflows. Free users can add cards one at a time within Free limits.

1. 1

   Export or save the sheet

   SpreadsheetCSV / XLSX

   Keep a backup copy before import so the original source remains available.

2. 2

   Open Upload Cards

   HomeUpload Cards

   On Hobby, use the Home quick action or the upload control from Collection.

3. 3

   Choose a fallback box

   Fallback box

   Rows without a box column need a safe destination. Create a temporary review box if needed.

4. 4

   Review mapping and import

   Review mappingImport Cards

   Map common headers, fix mismatches, import rows, then spot-check several records immediately.

Use Wax Cache for what spreadsheets struggle with

• Scan cards from mobile and clean up records later on desktop.
• Attach front and back images to card records.
• Print QR labels for boxes or individual cards.
• Search across card identity, storage, notes, value, and seller state.
• On Hobby, export CSV when you need analysis, backup, or migration.

Wax Cache should not trap paid-plan data. Hobby import gets you in; CSV export gives you a backup and exit path.
