01
Import what you have
Use CSV import guidance to move structured collection data into CardCat.
Spreadsheet alternative
Keep the data. Lose the spreadsheet friction.
Spreadsheets are useful until card images, multiple statuses, sharing, listings, sold history, and mobile access turn every update into maintenance. CardCat keeps the structure and adds the collection experience.
Collectors whose spreadsheet is becoming harder to search, update, share, or trust.

Common questions
Before you start.
Can I import a sports card spreadsheet into CardCat?
Yes. CardCat supports CSV import, and its guides explain the fields and cleanup process.
Can I export my CardCat collection later?
Yes. Inventory and sold-history export tools provide an offline copy of your collection data.
Why use an app instead of a spreadsheet?
A collection app adds visual card browsing, dedicated collection views, sharing, workflow statuses, and sales history without requiring custom spreadsheet maintenance.
