Collection Tracker

[Kuma]

Can anyone recommend a good collection tracker? I'm trying to catalog my collection to track its value for insurance purposes and for my own benefit. The more bells and whistles, the better.

Deckstats (http://deckstats.net/?lng=en) is your friend (it shows the price of TCGplayer and MiracleGames (a German store), also it is an awesome side where you can store your decks). As guideline you can say, that the MKM price is around 20% lower (they had once the average MKM price in there, but since they get sponsored by MiracleGames they had to remove this).

Deckstats gets the low price from MCM - this is the good point :)

But I cannot set the card version / language / foil status. I.e. I cannot see how it can helps me with tracking my portfolio value. :(

I use this webpage (http://mtgcollectionbuilder.com/collections/view.php).
When inserting the cards you can only specify the expansion and if it's foil or not, but at any time you can download your collection into an excel file, and it already has 'signed', 'foil', 'condition' and 'language' columns. The main problem is that once you have modified the downloaded excel file, when you import it again it loses all information that is not shown in the webpage (such as language, it will turn all the cards to english again the next time you download the excel file).
So it's a good way to manage a collection of foil/nonfoil cards, but for languages, signatures and conditions you'll have to modify your excel file every time you download it.

I'm liking echomtg.com (http://echomtg.com) so far. I like to track the price I acquired the card, and the price I sold it, which this site lets me do.

I settled on deckbox.org and it's fantastic. Very easy to add cards and manage your collection and decks. Only issue is that for prices they use their own marketplace, making some of their prices kind of wonky. However, you can export your collection as a .csv, so you can probably easily import it to a website with better price information.

This thing was buggy as hell and gave way too high prices when I tried it. Has it been fixed? It looks like it has potential.

I don't rely on the prices that much. The feature I like the most is where is provides buy prices from several dealers for your collection. It's great.

I use deckbox as well. Outside of the price oddities, they've gotten all of the weird editions in there and become a lot better over the last 6 months.

My only problem with deckbox is you can't associate the edition/printing with a given card in a given deck. For example, I'd love to specify that most of the cards in my EDH deck are foil just to get a ballpark of the value of the deck even if the marketplace prices can be a little wonky. It seems particularly odd to me because this functionality exists for the wishlist they have...so I'm not sure why they haven't ported it over.

I don't like that it lists every card individually instead of just 4x tarmogoyf. This is actually important because when I spec on a cheap card I'll buy dozens of them and I don't want to see them take up so much space. Otherwise I like the fact that you can list how much you got it for etc. I don't like that it's pay to use for the full version either, but seems like it's worth it.

So I bit the bullet and got a $3/month subscription to echo mtg and it's really sweet. They send weekly emails, have spec lists, watch lists, etc. Really liking it, and they're really responsive. I've submitted some changes and they replied quickly. Even got the app for free with a redemption code from them since I'm a paying customer, and they gave me a few extra codes for anyone else with iOS.

The app is sweet for trading since I can use it to easily track prices, spec lists, inventory, and even has a life counter (although I use paper/pen).

If you have iOS and would like the echo app for free pm me and i'll hook you up. I have 4 codes for now.
