The MTGStocks Inventory system lets you track your Magic: The Gathering collection. You can add both single cards and sealed products, record buying and selling transactions, and track the value of your collection over time.

Key Concepts

• Transactions: Records of buying or selling cards/products that adjust your inventory
• Buy transactions: Increase the quantity of a card in your inventory

The inventory screen shows all cards and sealed products you own. You can view various details including:
