Here are some frequently asked questions concerning Sportscard Organizer 2.0.

How do I enter my cards into the software?

  • Cards are first entered into the Catalog.  All you enter is the year, set, card number, the quantity you have, and the condition.  If you choose to keep track of a card individually, including price and even a photo, then the card is entered into the Tracking List based on the player's name.

How do I keep track of my card's prices?

  • Sportscard Organizer keeps a history of all the prices you enter for a card.  From the Tracking List, click on the Price History button for the card you want and a screen will appear showing in a graph, the change in that card's price over time.

How do I update the price of my cards?

  • Sportscard Organizer allows you to enter the price of a card over time.  Once the card is entered into the Tracking List, you give it an initial price.  Then, when you are ready to update the card's price, you click on Update Card Price, select the card from the list, and enter the new price and it's corresponding date.

Are checklists provided?

  • No.  However, Sportscard Organizer does come pre-loaded with the name of over 900 sets.  And if you don't see a set in the list, it can be added easily.

Are price updates provided?

  • No.  The beauty of Sportscard Organizer is that you are not forced to buy expensive price updates or spend hours downloading prices.  You enter prices when you want, from whatever price guide you want.

Is there a way to tell what cards I need to complete a set?

  • Yes.  One of the several reports you can generate in Sportscard Organizer is a Missing Cards report.  When you select that report, you will be asked to select the set you want from the list, then you will be prompted to enter the total number of cards in the set (using a 3-digit number - 600 or 048 for example).  There are limitations however.  If you enter a card with a prefix, such as 123A for an error version, the report will show that you still need that card.  Also, some insert sets (especially memorabilia cards) are coming unnumbered and are listed in the price guide under the player's initials.  In those cases, Sportscard Organizer is unable to determine what cards are needed to complete that set.

I have complete sets that I would like to enter.  Do I have to enter all the cards in the set?

  • No.  Enter the complete set into the Catalog as one item.  When you enter the complete set, enter the year and the set name.  The 'Card #' should be '000' or some other high number like '999' so it won't get confused with a regular card, and the quantity (#) as 1 (or how ever many complete sets you have).  Then Add a New Player and call the First Name "Complete" and the Last Name "Set".  Then enter it in the Tracking list.  In the 'Cards in Set/Box' field, enter the total number of cards in the set.

I have unopened boxes of cards.  How do I enter them into the software?

  • Enter the unopened box into the Catalog as one item.  When you enter the unopened box, enter the year and the set name.  The 'Card #' should be '000' or some other high number like '999' so it won't get confused with a regular card, and the quantity (#) as 1 (or how ever many unopened boxes you have).  Then Add a New Player and call the First Name "Unopened" and the Last Name "Box".  Then enter it in the Tracking list.  In the 'Cards in Set/Box' field, enter the total number of cards in the unopened box.

What about non-sports cards or memorabilia?  Can I enter them into the software?

  • Yes you can!  Sportscard Organizer is flexible enough to allow you to enter non-sports cards as well as memorabilia.  All you need to do is create a unique Set (like "Autograph Baseball" or "Star Wars") and enter a player or character.
