I am attempting to determine the proper format to import my large list of sports cards and have found it difficult to use. For example, each of these will not work, although they display results when using them each in the search results:
"#30 1956 Topps Baseball"
"Jackie Robinson #30 1956 Topps Baseball"
This is great, thank you for the clarification - I appreciate the quick reply!
It's too bad the "import" algorithm couldn't share the same used by the "search" as with both my prior examples, search will displays multiple results if the submission is ambiguous.
If the import tool could share this, it wold be simple for me to choose one of the results (if they match), or choose another option for "None of these".
Just a thought - love the app & site; keep up the great work! Thanks!

Great suggestion on the "suggest" options if the result is ambiguous. I'll make a note of that for future development. So glad you love the site. It is really fun to work on, and great to hear other people like it too.
Sorry for any confusion. Thanks for giving the example though. The syntax you gave with "Jackie Robinson #30 1956 Topps" will work with most cards but that particular card does not work because there are two versions of it, gray back and white back. We don't have enough information from what you entered to know which one you wanted to import so we skip that card instead of adding the wrong one.
If you add "Jackie Robinson Gray Back #30 1956 Topps" it should work.
The player name and card number are both required. So "#30 1956 Topps" would not work. Neither would "Jackie Robinson 1956 Topps". We require the card number too because many sets will have multiple cards for the same player so we need to remove ambiguity by including both player name and card number.
I hope that helps.
