Tags & Organization

Overview

Tags are flexible, color-coded labels you can apply to any card in your inventory. Unlike collections (which group cards together as a unit), tags are metadata you stack onto cards to filter, sort, and find them later.

Tags are managed from the Collections sidebar on the Cards page (sidebar drawer on mobile, persistent panel on desktop) and surface as filter chips in the Cards filter bar.

Creating Tags

You can create tags two ways: explicitly from the Collections sidebar, or implicitly when bulk-tagging cards.

Bulk tagging

Apply tags to multiple cards in one shot:

1. Go to the Cards page.
2. Select multiple cards with the row checkboxes.
3. Open the bulk action bar and pick Add Tag.
4. Choose existing tags or jump to Create Tag inline.

The bulk endpoint replaces the card's tag list with the tags you pick — make sure you've toggled the right ones on before applying.

Tag Limits by Plan

Limits are enforced server-side via the tags_limit count check — try to create one more than your tier allows and the API returns an upgrade prompt.

Filtering by Tags

Tags integrate with the Cards page filter bar:

1. Go to the Cards page.
2. Open the Tags filter chip in the filter bar.
3. Toggle one or more tags — the inventory list filters live.
4. Stack with other filters (sport, status, price range, set, year) for precise selection.

Combined filters compose with AND — picking two tags shows cards that have both.

Managing Tags

Renaming

Open the Collections sidebar, click the pencil icon on the tag, and change the name and/or color. Renames apply to every card the tag is on instantly.

Deleting

Delete a tag from the sidebar. Confirmation prompt warns you how many cards currently have it — deletion removes the tag from every card. System tags can't be deleted.

Color

Each tag carries a hex color used as the chip background on cards. Pick a color that makes sense to you visually — it's surfaced everywhere the tag appears.
