Export your Collectr collection to CSV
Export from Collectr’s Portfolio menu, then preview the first 200 rows of your Pokémon collection without a House of Holos account. Review quantities, printings and portfolios before deciding what to import.
Collectr lists exporting your collection as part of Collectr Pro. House of Holos’ preview is free; it does not unlock Collectr’s export.
Try your file before signing upCheck the first 200 rows without an account. No export yet? Paste a small list of your cards, or use the sample to see an example. The sample does not check your collection or unlock another app’s export.
1. Export from Collectr
- In Collectr, open Portfolio, tap the three dots at the top right and choose Export.
- Enter the email address where you want the export delivered, then save the CSV attachment where you’ll import it.
Exporting makes a copy; it does not remove cards from Collectr. Keep the original file. Menu names can change, so use the official reference if your version differs.

Can I export from Collectr for free?
Collectr’s help lists export as a Pro feature. House of Holos’ preview and import are free, but they do not unlock Collectr’s export. You can try an older export you already have, paste a card list you prepared, use our sample, or make your own spreadsheet.
Alternative to Collectr: what carries over
House of Holos is a free Pokémon card collection tracker. From a Collectr file, the importer reads your quantities, printings and folders where the file has them. It does not show market values, so those columns are not carried over.
- Pokémon cards matched by set, number and printing details
- Quantities, condition and supported grading details when present
- Sealed products only when the product and set match clearly
- Average Cost Paid, when supplied; market-price and price-override columns are not purchase costs
- Portfolio names, with the option to make binders in the signed-in importer

What to check in your Collectr export
Our signed-in importer recognizes these fields when they are present in a supported layout. Missing information is not recreated from another app’s totals.
- Count copies across portfolios
- Compare exported rows with the number of copies, not just the number of different card names. Keep track of which portfolios you exported so overlapping files do not add the same copies twice.
- Treat a clean preview as a first check
- Our Collectr reader follows a sample layout built from public parsers, not an official Collectr specification, so import is not guaranteed for every export. Compare a few cards you know against the original file; rows marked Check or No match need your decision.
- Check Variance and Grade
- Normal, holo and reverse-holo copies can share a number. Review the selected printing and any slab’s grading company and overall grade; a matching Pokémon name alone is not enough.
- Keep unsupported items separate
- Mixed exports can include other games, Japanese cards or sealed products outside our catalog. Those need separate attention; an ordinary retail box is not a substitute for a Pokémon Center edition or case.
2. Preview before signing up
Start with a few known cards: a normal card, a reverse holo and a row with several copies. Compare rows and copies separately: one row with quantity four represents four cards. Review the set, number, language and printing before accepting a match.
The public preview matches the first 200 rows. For a larger file, that is partial coverage: the remaining rows still need full review. The complete file or list continues to the signed-in importer. A preview does not add cards to a collection. Our catalog is English Pokémon for now; other languages and games remain unmatched. A file opening successfully does not mean every row can be imported.
Matching runs in your browser with a limited catalog lookup of card-identification hints. That lookup excludes the CSV, filename, quantities, costs, notes, folders and cert numbers. The tool explains its file limits and temporary storage before you start.
Use a CSV export, not an Excel workbook, PDF, screenshot or JSON backup. For an unfamiliar layout, see the spreadsheet and column guide. You can also paste a card list into the public preview when you have no usable CSV.
3. Sign in, review and save
Keep this tab open when you continue. The preview holds your source and review choices temporarily in this tab, then starts a fresh full review for your signed-in account. If the draft is unavailable or you change browser or device, open the signed-in importer and reselect the original file or paste your list again. With browser storage blocked, keep that importer tab open too; reloading requires your source again. Nothing saves automatically.
Saving happens in the signed-in importer. Check its final preview against your source and your existing collection; cards you already have start unticked. Select the rows you intend to add and choose whether folders should become binders before confirming the import.
To replace existing counts from a newer export, deliberately choose Update cards I already have to this file’s counts and review the changes before applying them. Cards absent from that file stay as they are. Undo reverses eligible changes and tells you what it kept after later edits.
Read the full import guide for unresolved printings, count updates, folders and Undo. Purchase costs are your own records; House of Holos does not provide market prices.
