You can now organize cards into collections to help you keep better tabs on your own personal collections, or share inventory lists on Discord, Facebook, X or wherever else you sell cards!
Now inside of whuppit, you have the ability to add cards to a "collection". Each card can belong to any number of collections—from 0 to as many as you would like.
Each collection has a public link that you can choose to use if you want to share your collection with anyone—whether to show cards you have for sale, or simply to showcase some of your favorites.
I've been using the feature myself for awhile to try to iron out the wrinkles. Here are a couple of examples of how I've used them.
Showing off some favorites
Ok, look, sometimes you're just really excited about some cards and it feels good to let someone else enjoy them too. I am obsessed with this year's Topps Black & White baseball cards and have graded a fair share. I was chatting with someone and found myself sending a few individual pics, so I put together a collection of what I currently have (meaning, I haven't sold them yet) and shared the link with them instead, letting them look through the collection for themseles.
Showing Available Inventory
One thing I've noticed in Discord groups, Facebook, Twitter—really any location people are trying to buy cards—is that people will often post specific players they're looking for and ask what is available.
I've also seen sellers, on Discord in particular, provide spreadsheets showing their current inventory.
Using the new collections functionality, you can create your own inventory collections for sharing. Each card can now have an "Asking Price" that you can set. Whenever a card has an asking price, that price will be displayed within the collection. Each collection also has an optionally shareable public link, so instead of answering with a list or spreadsheet, you can now provide a nice visual way for buyers to quickly see what cards you have available and for how much.
For example, someone was looking for De'Von Achane cards, so I created a quick collection of Achane's I had available and sent them the link. As cards are sold, I just remove them from the collection and keep that inventory accurate and up to date.
Keeping track of what's posted where
I sell almost everything through eBay, but I've started testing the waters on Discord and Facebook a bit more. Because Discord and Facebook postings get buried over time, it's a LOT harder to keep track of what you posted. So I started a little "Discord Inventory" collection for myself.
When I post a card for sale on Discord, I add it to that collection so I can go back and remind myself which cards I've listed there.
Whatever you want?
Collections are really kind of open-ended, and I'm sure there are a ton of different ways to use them. I know several people have wanted this feature for keeping tabs on their own personal collections
in a more visual way, or tracking set progress.
Collections are in beta, which means there's a lot more I'm expecting to add here over time. I'm already exploring different ways that grading population data might be useful here, how we could make things like tracking a particular set easier, or how we could make it easier for a potential buyer to contact you with interest. As always, user feedback is very appreciated—I pay close attention to what folks are suggesting (this one came directly from a conversation with a user).
So please, keep the feedback coming and reach out at any time—I'm excited to see how people use this!
