How to move ManaBox scans into TCGplayer inventory

What ManaBox exports

ManaBox's import and export guide describes one export format, CSV. You can export the whole collection or a single binder or list. The file includes all card properties and the binder or list name.

The guide does not list the exported columns. It does not say the export includes a TCGplayer ID, and it describes no TCGplayer export preset. From a list screen, ManaBox can open a buy list on TCGplayer or Card Kingdom, which is for buying cards, not listing them.

What TCGplayer needs

TCGplayer's CSV import help article works from the file you export from the Pricing tab. Rows in that file are matched by TCGplayer ID, and the file has an Add to Quantity column for stock you are adding.

A card name and set from ManaBox do not identify a product on their own. TCGplayer says Level 4 sellers can import and export pricing data in the Pricing tab. See TCGplayer seller levels. The TCGplayer CSV import guide covers the file format in detail.

Moving the cards by hand

To convert a ManaBox CSV yourself, you need a TCGplayer ID for every row, and you need to match the right printing and finish for each card. Export a small binder first and check the header row of your own file for the columns it has. If it has no TCGplayer ID, you look up each card and add the ID.

Moving the cards with Hoard

Hoard does not import ManaBox CSV files. Its CSV import reads TCGplayer exports and Collectr exports. Two other routes get the cards into Hoard.

• Photograph the cards again. Put the cards on a flatbed or sheet-fed scanner, or photograph them with any camera. In Hoard, choose Add Inventory, then Import scans, and pick the folder of JPG or PNG files. As of October 2026, Magic scans are processed in the cloud with nothing to install. You review the suggested matches, set the condition, and add the cards to staging.
• Use Quick Add. Pick a set and click the cards you own. Use your ManaBox list as the checklist. Quick Add works without an account at tryhoard.com/add.

Hoard prices the cards with your pricing rules when they reach staging. When you publish, the Hoard Desktop agent sends them to TCGplayer through TCGplayer's own CSV import. Adding cards to Hoard works on the free plan. Publishing needs a paid plan or trial and Level 4.

Hoard does not read condition from the photo, so you set it for the folder and adjust it per card. It cannot reliably tell a foil from its non-foil version when the art matches, so check the printing in review. Hoard lists on TCGplayer only. The steps are in the docs for scanning and reviewing cards, Quick Add, and publishing staged cards.

Where ManaBox fits

ManaBox tracks a Magic collection, builds decks, and scans cards with a phone. It does not list cards for sale. Keep it for your own collection and use a listing tool for the cards you sell.

See the scanner problems guide for scanning limits, best card scanner for selling for other apps, bulk scanning to TCGplayer for large batches, and Card Dealer Pro compared.

Common questions

Can ManaBox export to TCGplayer?

No. ManaBox's guide describes a CSV export and no TCGplayer format. TCGplayer's inventory import identifies cards by TCGplayer ID, so you need that ID on each row.

How do I import a ManaBox CSV into TCGplayer?

You cannot upload it as is. TCGplayer's import expects its own columns, including a TCGplayer ID. Add the IDs yourself, or add the cards again with a tool that writes the TCGplayer format.

Does Hoard import ManaBox CSV files?

No. Hoard's CSV import reads TCGplayer and Collectr exports. For ManaBox cards, import a folder of card photos or use Quick Add.

Do I need Level 4 to list ManaBox cards on TCGplayer?

Yes, to upload an inventory file to your seller account. See TCGplayer seller levels for the requirements.
