Creating a collection binder on MythicHub is an essential feature for managing and categorizing your Magic: The Gathering cards. To utilize this feature, you need to be logged into your MythicHub account. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

How to Create a Binder:

1. Go to the Collection Page:
   • Ensure you are logged into your MythicHub account.
   • Navigate to the Collection page.
2. Add a Binder:
   • Click the "Add Binder" button to begin creating a new binder.

There are three types of binders available to categorize your cards:

• 📗 Collection:
  • Use this binder to store cards you own.
  • The assigned price is the purchase price.
  • Collection totals show total value for all cards, plus tracked value, paid total, and unrealized P/L for cards with purchase prices.
  • Cards without purchase prices still count toward total value, but their value is shown separately as untracked value.
• 🎁 Wishlist:
  • Use this binder for cards you want to buy.
  • The assigned price is the desired price.
  • You will see red/green indicators showing if the market price is higher or lower than your desired price. Blue indicator is shown if the desired price is set without market price.
• 📦 Tradelist:
  • Use this binder for cards you want to sell.
  • The assigned price is the sell price.
  • If the sell price is set, it shows on the binder page regardless of the marketplace. It defaults to the market price if not set.

When creating a binder, you can also set the following properties:

• Game Type - New binders track physical cards:
  • 🎴 Paper: For physical cards and the default binder type you create manually on the Collection page.

  Existing Arena and MTGO binders remain available, but new digital binders and digital collection imports are not supported.

• Visibility:
  • 🌐 Public: Everyone can see the binder, and it is listed on your user profile page.
  • 🔍 Hidden: Not listed on your profile, but viewable if someone has the direct link.
  • 🔒 Private: Only accessible by you.
• Marketplace - Choose from four supported marketplaces for price tracking:

  • TCGplayer

  • Cardmarket

  • Mana Pool

  • Card Kingdom

Combined binder views let you open multiple compatible binders as one read-only view. This is useful when your collection is split across several physical binders, wishlists, or tradelists, but you want to browse, filter, sort, and check value data in one place.

How to Combine Binders:

1. Go to the Collection page and click "Combine binders".
2. Select at least 2 binders. You can combine up to 10 binders at once.
3. Pick binders with the same binder type, game type, and marketplace. Incompatible binders cannot be selected together.
4. Click "Open combined view" to browse them together, or save the view if you want to reuse that binder selection later.

Combined binder views are owner-only and read-only. To add, edit, or delete cards, open the source binder directly.

The auto-assign prices feature streamlines the process of tracking your purchase prices for Collection binders.

How It Works:

• Enabling the Option: When creating or editing a Collection binder, you can enable the "Auto-assign prices" option in the binder settings.
• Adding New Cards: When this option is enabled and you add new cards to the binder, the current market price is automatically set as the assigned price (purchase price).
• Importing Collections: When importing a collection with this option enabled, all imported cards will have their current market values assigned as purchase prices.
• Manual Overrides: You can still manually adjust or remove these auto-assigned prices as needed.
• Missing Purchase Prices: Cards without a purchase price still count toward total value, but are excluded from profit/loss calculations until a purchase price is added.

This feature is especially useful if you typically purchase cards at market value or want to establish a baseline purchase price for tracking future value changes.

Note: This feature is only available for Collection binders and is not applicable to Wishlist or Tradelist binders, which use assigned prices differently.

You can also mark a card as Pack-opened in a paper collection binder to indicate that you opened it from a pack or box. This does not assign a purchase price automatically.

The condition-based pricing feature adjusts card market values based on their physical condition, providing a more accurate valuation of your collection.

How It Works:

• Enabling the Option: This feature can be enabled when creating or editing a Collection binder by selecting the "Adjust prices based on condition" option.
• Condition Adjustments: When enabled, market prices are adjusted using the following percentages:
  • Near Mint (NM): 100% of market price
  • Lightly Played (LP): 90% of market price
  • Moderately Played (MP): 75% of market price
  • Heavily Played (HP): 50% of market price
  • Damaged (DMG): 25% of market price
• Visual Indicators: When this feature is active, the condition adjustment is shown next to the market price in the card details.

This feature ensures that your collection's valuation reflects the actual condition of your cards, rather than assuming all cards are in Near Mint condition.

Note: This feature is primarily useful for physical card collections and is not applicable to digital formats like MTGO or Arena.

MythicHub provides privacy options that let you control who can see the value details of your binders.

Available Privacy Settings:

• Show Collection Value Publicly:
  • When enabled: Other users can see the total value and value trend of your binder.
  • When disabled: Only you can see the value statistics and trend chart.
  • Applies to: Public and Hidden binders (Private binders are never visible to others).
• Show Purchase Prices Publicly:
  • For Collection binders: Controls whether others can see your purchase prices.
  • For Wishlist binders: Controls whether others can see your desired prices.
  • For Tradelist binders: Always enabled, as asking prices are fundamental to the tradelist concept.

Use Cases:

• Collection Showcase: Enable value visibility to showcase your collection's worth.
• Privacy Preference: Disable value visibility if you prefer to keep your collection's value private.
• Trading Transparency: For tradelists, showing asking prices helps facilitate trades by clearly communicating your expectations.

These privacy options give you fine-grained control over how your collection data is shared with the MythicHub community.

Adding cards to your binders in MythicHub is a straightforward process designed to give you full control over the details of each card entry. Follow these steps to add cards to your binders effectively:

How to Add Cards:

1. Open the Binder:
   • Navigate to the binder you want to add cards to.
2. Click "Add Card":
   • In the binder view, click the "Add Card" button to open the card addition dialog.
3. Search for the Card Name:
   • A dialog with a search input will appear.
   • Type the name of the card you want to add.
   • Select the correct card name from the dropdown list. This selection will lead you to the next step where you specify the card details.

MythicHub provides a safety feature that allows you to recover accidentally deleted binders within a 30-day window.

How It Works:

• 30-Day Recovery Period: When you delete a binder, it's not immediately permanently deleted but instead kept in a recoverable state for 30 days.
• Deleted Binders Counter: On your collection page, you'll see a "Deleted" button with a counter indicating how many binders were deleted in the last 30 days.
• Accessing Deleted Binders: Click on the "Deleted" button to open a modal showing all your recently deleted binders.
• Restoration Options: For each deleted binder, you can:
  • Restore the binder to your active collection
  • Permanently delete the binder (this action cannot be undone)
• Automatic Cleanup: If no action is taken, deleted binders are automatically and permanently removed after 30 days.

This feature provides peace of mind, especially if you accidentally delete an important binder or change your mind after deletion.

Once you've selected the card name, you will proceed to a detailed dialog where you can specify various attributes for the card:

• Card Print:
  • List all card printings by set code and collector number.
  • Select the desired printing; an image of the card will be displayed on the left.
• Language:
  • Choose the language of the card. Changing the language will update the card image accordingly.
• Finish Type:
  • Select from available finish types: nonfoil, ✨ foil, or 💫 etched.

  • 📦 Tradelist: Sell price, displayed regardless of the marketplace.
• General Notes:
  • 🗒️ Add any general notes about the card (optional text area).
