Reference Database

Known variants stay distinct.

TopVault treats printings, promos, test cards, and unusual releases as real reference entries rather than collapsing them into a single record. That makes it easier to build accurate checklists, compare print runs, and research what actually exists.

The Blastoise examples below show why that matters. These are not duplicates. They are different releases with different collector value, history, and checklist meaning.

TopVault keeps those distinctions visible so you can tell exactly what is different, in order from top-left to bottom-right:

  1. Base Set, Disco test print
  2. Base Set, 1st edition
  3. Base Set, shadowless print
  4. Base Set, unlimited print
  5. Base Set, missing-stage print error
  6. TCG Classic Deck
  7. Celebrations
  8. Base Set 2
  9. Base Set, Cosmos test print
  10. Base Set, 1999-2000 print

The underlying catalog is collectdb, an open source dataset of collectibles with variant-level detail, edition data, and reference links. Contributions and corrections are welcome.

Collector Tools

Built around the way collectors actually work.

TopVault is for researching what exists, tracking what you own, and keeping useful context with the collection over time. Practical first, deep second, and promotional never.

Research exact printings

Use the public database to compare variants, identify products, and browse sets without needing an account first.

Track collection progress

Build goals for sets, characters, print runs, or any custom chase list, then connect owned items back to the exact references you care about.

Keep provenance and notes

Record where an item came from, what happened at a show, or why a specific copy matters so your collection history stays attached to the item.

Use scores only if useful

Leaderboards, price context, and trend views are there when you want them, but they stay secondary to the database and collection tools.

Need help getting started or want to go deeper on a feature? The collector app documentation covers setup, collection management, goals, and more.

Workflows

Research, track, and remember what matters.

Start with the public reference, connect exact items to collection goals, and keep the trade and provenance context attached as your collection evolves.

Research exact cards and products

Search the database by name, number, series, or photo. Open an entry to compare variants, understand how a set is structured, and see related items without guessing which printing you are looking at.

  • Browse series, generations, editions, and related variants
  • Search by text or photo when you need help identifying something
  • Use the public reference without creating an account first
  • Keep market data available as supporting context, not the main story

Track what you own and what you are chasing

Use collection records and goals together. That gives you a clean way to measure completion, organize a chase list, and connect owned items back to the exact references that count toward a set or collecting project.

  • Build goals for full sets, characters, print runs, or custom milestones
  • Track completion across variants, promos, and editions
  • Organize your collection around the references that matter to you
  • Keep value and score data available when it helps with decisions

Keep trade history and collecting context

TopVault is built to keep more than a raw inventory count. Record trades, notes, condition details, and collection history so the story around the item stays attached to the collection record.

  • Log trades, acquisition details, and special collecting moments
  • Keep notes on condition, provenance, and locations
  • Use activity history to remember how a collection came together
  • Share a more complete picture than just a raw item total

Scores and leaderboards remain available, but the main value is the database, the collection tools, and the variant-level reference detail.
