Add cards to a batch

Three ways to add cards

Open the batch, then choose + Add cards at the top right. The menu offers three ways to add to the batch:

• Open camera — capture more cards live, one front/back pair at a time.
• Upload photos — bulk import; select up to 200 images at once.
• CSV import — bring in an existing inventory or a COMC export as card records.

How front and back pair up

When you bulk-upload photos, CardZen pairs each card's front and back automatically — by filename, by the time the photos were taken, or by AI matching the images. You don't have to upload them in any particular order.

For the most reliable pairing, give matching fronts and backs related filenames (for example card1-front.jpg and card1-back.jpg), or take them back-to-back so the timestamps line up.

You pair right where you upload: the Pair front & back tray sits on the Capture page beneath the drop zone, so you can keep adding photos and pairing them on one page. (The same tray also opens full-page if you follow a direct Pair link.)

Confirm your pairs and CardZen takes you straight to the batch — you never wait on a building screen. Cards it has already read are ready to edit right away; any still being built appear as read-only "Reading card…" rows and switch to normal review rows on their own the moment both sides finish. You can even pair photos while CardSense is still reading one of them.

Add cards with the camera

1. 1Open the batch you want to add to.
2. 2Choose + Add cards, then Open camera (or use + Capture more at the bottom of the review list).
3. 3Photograph each card front and back.
4. 4Let CardSense read the details in the background.
5. 5Return to the batch review screen — the new cards are waiting there.

Avoid duplicates

Before importing records that may already exist, search Cards by player, set, year, card number, or custom label. Duplicate records make cost basis and listing status harder to trust.
