Questions and answers

Is House of Holos free?

Yes. Tracking your collection, binders, your wishlist, rip logs, sharing, importing and downloading your data are all free.

Do I need an account?

No. You can browse every set and add cards without signing in; they’re kept in this browser.

Sign in with your email to keep your collection in your account on every device, and to use binders, the wishlist, rip logs, sharing and import. Cards you added before signing in move into your account.

Does House of Holos show market prices?

No. House of Holos does not provide market prices or collection valuations.

You can record what you paid for each card and set your own wishlist targets. Those are your records, not market quotes. Your portfolio shows the total paid for items with a recorded cost.

Can I import my collection from Collectr, TCGplayer or another app?

Yes. Import reads exports from Collectr, Dex, TCGplayer, PriceCharting and Dragon Shield, spreadsheets saved as CSV, and lists you paste in. You check every match before anything is saved. Undo reverses eligible changes; cards you changed afterward stay as they are.

Each app has a page with the steps: see switching apps.

Can I export my data?

Anytime. Your account page has CSV downloads of your collection, binders, wishlist and transactions. The collection file uses the same columns our import reads, so it doubles as a backup.

Is my collection private? What does sharing show?

Your collection is private: only you can see it unless you make a share link.

A share link for your collection, a set or a binder shows the cards in it, how far along your sets are and your display name. A shared want list shows the cards and printings you want. Links never show your email, notes, purchase costs or wishlist targets. Signed-in visitors can privately check which wanted cards they own. You can turn a link off at any time.

You can also delete your account and everything in it from your account page. The privacy page has the details.

Is there an app?

An iPhone app is on the way. Leave your email and we’ll tell you when it’s out.

Until then the website works on phones, and you can add it to your Home Screen like an app.

When do new sets appear?

The catalog checks for new English sets daily. Cards and printings appear as the source catalog adds them, so a set can arrive gradually after release.

Before that, announced sets have a coming-soon page with the dates, and the release calendar lists what’s next.
