Everything you might want to know about how MyTCG Collection works. Still stuck? Reach out.

What is MyTCG Collection?
MyTCG Collection is a cloud-based application for tracking your trading card game collection. You scan or quick-add cards, and it keeps them organized, valued with live market prices, and ready to build decks from — all in your web browser, with nothing to install.
Which games are supported?
Magic: The Gathering is fully supported today. The app is built on a game registry with per-game scoping, so additional trading card games are planned in future updates.
How does card scanning work?
You photograph a card and the app uses OCR to read its name and set, then image-hash matching to confirm the exact printing — including alternate arts and foils. You review the match before it is saved, so nothing is added without your confirmation.
Where do card prices come from?
Pricing and card data sync from Scryfall, a well-known Magic: The Gathering data source. Values update over time so your collection total stays current.
Is my collection data private?
Yes. Your collection data is yours — we never sell it, and you can export it at any time. The free plan is ad-supported; paid plans are ad-free. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Can I export or back up my collection?
Yes. You can export your collection at any time, on any plan, so it is never locked away.
Do I need to install anything to use it?
No. MyTCG Collection runs entirely in your web browser — there is nothing to install or maintain. It works on desktop and mobile browsers alike.
How is this different from ManaBox and similar apps?
MyTCG Collection gives you the same core tracking, scanning, and valuation, but treats your data as yours: exportable at any time and never sold. The free plan is ad-supported, and paid plans remove ads entirely.
