There are a few cards (only one that i have found so far but i would assume that it is all the oversize promos from avacyn restored) that arent really identifiable in the database as not being the normal card. take Avacyn, Angel of Hope for instance. i chose/ won the oversize version of her at the pre release/ opening of the hellvault. now when i go to add her to my collection here on deckbox the only options i really have are the normal card then the promo/foil/textless/signed optiions and no alternate option when choosing the card name initially.

whould it be possible to add it as a second card that is selectable wheninputting the card name? i know that is how tcgplater does it when trying to search for avacyn. when you type in Avacyn, Angel of Hope in their search box, the drop down portion of the box has 2 options; "Avacyn, Angel of Hope" and "Avacyn, Angel of Hope (Oversized).

i am requesting this due to the fact that the value of the standard sized cards vs.the value of the oversized cards is very different. with my example of avacyn the regular sized card is currently valued at $27.19 non foil median price, whereas the oversized card is at $18.97 non foil median price. in my opinion that is a significant price difference and if you have several of these discrepancies, then the total price that you can get from under the view dropdown menu is'nt even close.

thank you for your time

TL;DR
need oversized card option in card lists like tcgplayer.com (deckbox's pricing agent) to keep overall collection value accurate.

Over the past few months i have been adding my entire collection of MTG cards into the database just so that i could have a searchable list and easier way of building decks with what i have. Well i took a break from entering cards over the hollidays and went to start adding more a couple days ago. I found the new, updated UI and started entering cards. and got very confused very quickly. the old advanced card input was really user friendly and i could do multiple copies of the same card at the same time (foil/ non foil, different sets, etc). with the new layout it isnt as easily done having to enter the card multiple times for each different set. also it took me a couple of cards to figure out how it worked with cards that i already had in the database, their is nothing to tell you which row is being added and which is your current count.i understand that you all like the new layout, hence why you rolled it out, but would it be possible to make that a user defined setting?. possibly the ability to choose your input method on the settings page? personally i would greatly appreciate it.


thanks for reading smile
