Using Holo Folder
Switch from TCG Collector to Holo Folder
Checked
If you track your sets in TCG Collector and want your cards in binder pages, you can bring them across with TCG Collector’s collection export and Holo Folder’s importer. Holo Folder’s free plan keeps as many cards as you like in one binder, so you can try it without paying. Everything here was checked on 14 November 2026.
Export from TCG Collector
Exporting your collection data is a TCG Collector Premium feature. Signed in on tcgcollector.com, export your collection data and save the collection CSV file. Your lists, such as a wishlist, aren’t part of the collection file, and Holo Folder only imports the collection.
Import it into Holo Folder
Open holofolder.com/app and sign in, or create a free account.
Open the binder you want the cards in.
Tap the ⋮ button at the top of the binder and choose Import cards.
Choose the CSV file. Holo Folder recognises a TCG Collector export from its columns and looks up each card in our catalogue, so you need to be online for this step.
Read the preview. It shows how many cards are ready, where they’ll go, and every row that couldn’t be matched, with the reason.
Tap Add to put the cards in your binder.
What carries over
Each card’s name, expansion and number, matched to the exact printing in our catalogue, including Trainer Gallery cards listed under their main set.
The variant. Normal and Holo become the card’s own print, such as double rare, and Reverse Holo stays reverse holo.
The card language, for English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean cards. Cards in other languages, and sets we hold under a different name, need adding by hand.
Quantity. A card listed twice, or with a quantity of two, becomes two cards.
What doesn’t carry over
Condition and notes. Holo Folder doesn’t record these, and the preview tells you when a file has them.
Your lists, including your wishlist. Add wanted cards to your want list in Holo Folder.
1st Edition, Cosmos Holo and Cracked Ice Holo variants, which Holo Folder doesn’t track as separate prints yet.
Anything we can’t match exactly. Holo Folder never guesses a card: unmatched rows stay in a list you can download and work through by hand.
Where the cards go
Each card goes into the empty pocket made for it, so a Pikachu lands in the Pikachu pocket of a National Dex binder, and if that pocket was waiting for that exact card it comes off your want list. A card with no pocket of its own gets a new pocket at the end of the binder. Second copies and graded cards are added to your collection without a pocket, so they don’t crowd your pages. You can move any of them afterwards.
