Introducing Portfolio: See What Your Collection Is Worth

Portfolio adds up the prices you save on your cards to show what your collection is worth, whether you are up or down, and what you made on cards you sold.

Tools and news4 min read

We’ve all been there. Someone at a card show asks what your collection is worth, and you give the honest answer: “No idea.” You probably know what you paid for your best cards. Maybe you looked up a few comps last month. But adding it all up? That’s a spreadsheet, a calculator, and a free Saturday.

That’s exactly why we built Portfolio.

What Portfolio Does

Portfolio takes the prices you’ve already saved on your cards and adds them up for you. Tap the Portfolio button in your collection’s toolbar on iOS, Android, or the web, and you’ll see:

  • Collection Worth - the total Current Value of the cards you own
  • Your gain or loss - how that compares to what you paid
  • What you paid - your Purchase Prices, totaled up
  • Sales - your profit on cards you’ve sold
  • Collection insights - your average card value and a few other quick stats

It works for My Collection or any collection you’ve made, so you can check your graded rookies separately from the vintage binder.

It Starts With Your Cards

Portfolio doesn’t guess. Every number comes from two fields you fill in yourself: Purchase Price (what you paid) and Current Value (what the card is worth today). Both live in the Buying & Selling section of every card.

The Buying & Selling section of a card with a Purchase Price of $120, a Current Value of $185, and a Gain of $65

Fill in both and you’ll see that card’s gain right there. Portfolio takes the same numbers from every card you own and adds them all up.

Not sure what a card is worth right now? Tap one of the eBay buttons on the card to pull up recent sold listings, then update the Current Value. Prices move, and you decide when to update yours. SetScribe never changes your values for you.

Am I Up or Down?

Collection Worth of $6,526 with a gain of $1,656, and Paid and Worth bars

The top of Portfolio answers the big question. Your Collection Worth sits up top, with your gain or loss and the percentage right under it.

Below that are two bars, Paid and Worth, on the same scale. The longer bar is the bigger number. If Worth is longer and green, you’re up. If it’s shorter and red, you’re down. You can tell at a glance, before you read a single number.

Where Your Money Went

What you paid: $4,870 on cards with a value, $790 on cards without one, $5,660 in total

Most collections have a few cards without a Current Value. Maybe you just pulled it, or it’s a tough card to price. Those cards can’t count toward your worth, because there’s nothing to add up yet.

So instead of quietly leaving them out, Portfolio shows you where all your money went: what you paid for cards with a value, what you paid for cards without one, and the total. The numbers add up right there on the screen. Give those cards a Current Value and they’ll move into your worth.

Sales and Insights

Profit from Sales of $695 with sale totals, and collection insights like average card value

Sold a few cards? Portfolio totals what they sold for against what you paid for them, so you can see what you actually made. A sold card counts here once it has a Sale Price, and Portfolio shows how many of your sales are recorded so you know if any are missing.

Collection insights round things out: your average card value, how much of your collection has a value, and your average sale price and profit.

What Counts (and What Doesn’t)

The Portfolio info window explaining Collection Worth, the Paid and Worth bars, What you paid, and Sales

Tap the info circle next to the Portfolio title any time you want a refresher. Here’s the short version:

  • Only cards you own count toward worth. Sold cards show up under Sales instead.
  • Want List cards aren’t counted at all. You don’t own them yet!
  • A card needs a Current Value to count toward worth and gain.
  • A blank Purchase Price counts as zero.

Same Numbers on the Web

Portfolio on the SetScribe web app

Portfolio works the same way on the web app, and everything stays in sync. Update a value on your phone at the show, and it’s waiting for you on your computer when you get home.

Included With Premium

Portfolio is included with Premium, Pro, and Max, alongside unlimited AI scans and more room for your collection. Premium starts at $3.99/month. If you’re already a subscriber, Portfolio is in your collection’s toolbar right now. You can compare plans on our features page, or read more about tracking card values with SetScribe.

We built Portfolio because we wanted it for our own collections. Whether you’re tracking a handful of graded rookies or a closet full of binders, we hope it helps you enjoy them a little more.

Happy collecting.
