FAQ

Answers for collectors building with GG.cards.

A practical guide to collection tracking, binders, Wishlist, Trade List, sharing, pricing and account privacy.

Getting Started

What is GG.cards?

GG.cards is a collection workspace for trading cards. It helps you track exact physical copies, build visual binders, manage a Wishlist and share selected parts of your collection.

Is GG.cards free?

Yes. Free accounts can track up to 500 physical cards and create up to 2 binders. Search, Wishlist, Trade List, Messages, Collector Matching, public sharing and core Stats are included. Pro adds higher limits, valuation and Market tools.

Do I need to own a card to put it in a binder?

No. Planned binder spots can represent cards you want to collect. When you own a matching physical copy, you can place that exact copy into the spot.

Can I use GG.cards on my phone?

Yes. GG.cards is designed for modern browsers on desktop, tablet and phone. Some detailed binder-management actions are more comfortable on a larger screen.

Which cards and languages does GG.cards support?

GG.cards currently uses TCGdex as the canonical catalogue provider, with English and Japanese catalogue support where provider data is available. Custom and uncatalogued cards can cover gaps.

Collection

What does exact physical copy mean?

Each owned card row represents one real card. Duplicate copies can have different conditions, photos, grading, locations and listing status.

How does GG.cards handle duplicates?

Normal Collection views show every exact physical copy. The Duplicates workflow groups copies by material printing so you can decide what to keep, trade or sell.

Can I import my collection?

Yes. GG.cards supports Collectr CSV imports and includes review tools for cards that need confirmation or are not covered by catalogue data.

Is there a free collection card limit?

Yes. Free accounts can store up to 500 physical cards. Existing collection data is not deleted if an account is over a plan limit.

Can I add photos of my own cards?

Yes. Owned cards can have front and back photos, while catalogue artwork remains separate from your physical-card photos.

Binders

What is the difference between my Collection and a binder?

Your Collection is the source of truth for the cards you own. Binders are visual layouts where exact owned copies can be placed into physical or planned spots.

What is a generated binder?

A generated binder starts from catalogue rules, such as a character, set, Trainer, Supporter or Trainer Gallery selection. You can then fill or adjust the planned spots.

What are planned slots?

Planned slots are binder spots reserved for a target card or printing. They can be empty, filled by an exact owned copy or linked to Wishlist goals.

Can one card appear in more than one binder?

A card can be planned in multiple binders, but a physical owned copy can only be placed in one physical binder pocket at a time.

What happens if a generated binder is over the Free target limit?

Free accounts can create generated binders with up to 500 planned cards. Larger existing binders remain available, but creating a generated binder over that limit requires Pro.

Can I make a custom binder layout?

Yes. You can create blank or custom binders, add spots, move spots and manage physical pages without changing your Collection records.

Wishlist / Trade

Is Wishlist free?

Yes. Wishlist is included on Free accounts and can include catalogue cards or custom wishlist entries.

Can a card be both for trade and for sale?

Yes. Listing status is stored on the exact owned copy, so one copy can be trade-only, sale-only, both or not listed.

Does GG.cards handle payments or escrow?

No. GG.cards does not provide marketplace checkout, escrow, payment processing or buyer protection. It helps collectors organize and discuss cards.

How does Collector Matching work?

Collector Matching compares your private Wishlist and Trade List against another collector's visible cards to suggest possible overlaps.

Who can see my listings and messages?

Listings appear only through the public surfaces you enable. Messages are account-based conversations and are not displayed on public profiles.

Pricing / Values

Where do collection values come from?

Valuation features use cached provider price rows and GG.cards matching rules. Exact variant matches are treated differently from compatible estimates.

Why does every card not have a value?

Some cards, languages, variants or custom entries do not have trustworthy provider pricing. GG.cards avoids guessing when a safe match is not available.

Are GG.cards values guaranteed sale prices?

No. Values are estimates for collection context, not guarantees of what a card will sell for. Actual prices depend on condition, demand, fees, shipping and buyer interest.

Privacy / Account

Is my collection private by default?

Yes. Account data is private by default. You choose what to expose through public profiles, binder shares, Wishlist shares and listing settings.

Can I control shared links?

Yes. Shared binders and Wishlists use explicit share links that can be stopped or regenerated from your account.

Can I delete my account or data?

Account and privacy requests can be sent through the Contact page during beta. GG.cards is designed so your collection records remain yours.

Does age affect account setup?

GG.cards collects age-related account information during setup so privacy defaults and account policies can be applied appropriately.
