Learn how to export your collection data to sell cards to various vendors through their buylist programs.
Overview
CardRouter supports exporting your buylists in the quickest formats compatible with major TCG vendors. This allows you to quickly submit your cards to vendor buylists and get the best prices for your collection.
Getting Started
1. Access Vendor Buylists
Many vendors require you to create an account before accessing their buylist. Follow the links in your optimization report.
2. Export Your Collection
CardRouter provides two main export options:
CSV Export (Recommended)
The CSV export generates a spreadsheet-compatible file that most vendors can import directly:
- Navigate to a vendor section
- Click “Download your Vendor Name CSV”
- Click “Visit Vendor Name Buylist”
- (optional) Log into the vendor, if required
- Upload the CSV
Manual Entry
For vendors that don’t support CSV imports, you can use the manual entry option:
- For each card, click ”→ Add to sell cart”
- (in newly opened window) find the card and quantity from the short list
- Click the “add to sell cart” button (or equivalent)
Tips for Better Results
Accurate Condition Assessment
Ensure your card conditions are accurately set in CardRouter:
- NM (Near Mint): Like new, minimal wear
- LP (Lightly Played): Minor edge wear, slight scratches
- MP (Moderately Played): Noticeable wear, some scratches
- HP (Heavily Played): Significant wear, major scratches
- DMG (Damaged): Creases, tears, or other damage
Shipping Your Cards
Once you’ve submitted your buylist and received approval, you’ll need to ship your cards safely.

Troubleshooting
CSV Import Issues
If a vendor’s system doesn’t recognize your CSV:
- Check that the filename matches the vendor
- Contact support and we’ll make it right
Missing Cards
If some cards don’t appear in the vendor’s system:
- Buylists change minute-by-minute, so someone might have beaten you
- Verify the card exists in their buylist
- Consider manual entry for problem cards or using ”→ Add card to sell list”
Discrepancies
If buylist prices don’t match CardRouter’s data:
- Prices and quantities update frequently and may differ slightly
- Errors can happen - report errors by clicking the card in your collection view and click “Report issue”
- Check the history - look at the history for recent volatility
- Let us know and we’ll make it right
