Tags & Organization
Use tags to categorize your cards with flexible, custom labels for source tracking, personal notes, and workflow management.
Overview
Tags are flexible labels you can apply to any card in your inventory. Unlike collections (which group cards together), tags are metadata that help you categorize, filter, and find cards based on any criteria you choose.
Creating Tags
Open a Card
Click any card to open its detail page.
Add Tags
In the tags section, type a tag name and press Enter. If the tag doesn't exist yet, it's created automatically.
Bulk Tagging
Apply tags to multiple cards at once:
- Go to the Cards page
- Select multiple cards with checkboxes
- Click Add Tag in the bulk action bar
- Choose an existing tag or create a new one
Tag Limits by Plan
| Plan | Tag Limit |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 tags |
| Collector | 50 tags |

Filtering by Tags
Use tags to quickly find cards:
- Go to the Cards page
- Click the Tags filter in the filter bar
- Select one or more tags to filter your inventory
- Combine with other filters (sport, status, price range) for precise results
Managing Tags
Renaming a Tag
Currently, renaming a tag requires removing the old tag from all cards and adding the new one. Bulk tagging makes this manageable.
Deleting a Tag
Remove a tag from all cards by filtering for that tag, selecting all results, and using the Remove Tag bulk action.
Tags vs. Collections
| Tags | Collections | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Flexible categorization | Grouping cards together |
| Per card | Multiple tags per card | Card can be in multiple collections |
| Creation | Type and create inline | Explicit create from Collections page |
| Best for | Source tracking, workflow labels, metadata | Organized groups (PC, for-sale, by team) |
| Limits | 5βUnlimited by plan | 1βUnlimited by plan |
Use Both
Tags and collections serve different purposes. Use collections for logical groups ("Yankees PC", "For Sale") and tags for metadata ("Card Show 2026", "Send to Grade").
