Tips for a smooth upload

  • Only green rows (cards that clear your sift threshold) are exported. Confirm the counts match your inventory.
  • If TCGplayer reports column mismatches, make sure you haven't edited the CSV headers before uploading.
  • Need to regenerate the file? Return to the Precon Collection EV tool, re-run your calculation, and download a fresh CSV.
