How to use Lists

How to use Card Lists to set specific cards as bin criteria

Card lists allow for lists of specific cards to be used as bin criteria.  They can be created on the sort page itself, or you can import your own CSV file.

Advanced Options must be enabled to access Lists

Importing a List

Using Lists

Creating a List

  • Click on List from the top menu.
or
  • Click on Card List

card_list

Card List and Bin Conditions are mutually exclusive.  You may only use one or the other per bin.  You may use Duplicates and Lot Count with both.

  • Click on either Create your first list here or Manage all lists here

create_list_1

  • Click Create List, select your game, and click Next.

create_list_2

  • Add cards by searching for them by name.  All possible variants of that card (foil versions will be included with the base card unless specified, see below) will be listed based on your search.
    • Added cards will be listed in alphabetical order
    • Additional search and filter options are planned for a future update

There are the following additional properties:

create_list_3

Foil Type - MTG, Lorcana, One Piece
Selectable as Any, Foil, or Normal.  This will specify if this is any version, only foil, or not foil.
Foil Type - Pokémon
Selectable as Any, Normal, Holofoil, or Reverse Holofoil.  This will specify whether it is any version, holofoil, reverse holofoil, or not a foil.  The specific holo/reverse holo/normal options will not be present if the card does not have that variant. 

Min Qty
The minimum accepted number of this card within your lot.  This will reserve space in your maximum lot count for the specified minimum number of this card, so the lot will not be "filled" until the minimum count of this card is reached.
Max Qty
The maximum number of this card allowed in your lot.

Min/Max are disabled unless you have a maximum lot count.  Both Min and Max will be overridden by the Duplicates setting if it is lower.
  • When your list is complete and named, click Create List

create_list

  • To use your newly created list, go back to Advanced Options on your bin, toggle Card List, select your list from the dropdown, and click Update.

  • Click on either Create your first list here or Manage all lists here

create_list_1

  • Click Import List, select your game, and click Next.

create_list_4

  • Name your list.
  • Choose a file or drag the file from another window onto the Select a File box.
  • The files must be CSV files in the following format:

import_list_mtgpokemon_list_example

The headers and foilType are case sensitive and will fail if not exact.

cardID - the ID of the card (required)

minQty - the minimum number of this card in a lot before that lot is considered "complete".  Will reserve capacity in a lot

maxQty - the maximum number of this card allowed in a lot

foilType - either normal (no foils), foil (only foils), or blank (any version)

*foilType (Pokémon) - either normal, holfoil, reverseholofoil, 1steditionnormal, 1steditionholofoil

The PhyzBatch cannot currently check for 1st edition Pokémon cards, and they will be detected as the normal base (Unlimited) set.  This will be added in a patch planned for early Q4 2025.

Getting the IDs  

The ID for Magic, Pokémon, Lorcana, or One Piece cards can be obtained from your PhyzBatch Inventory.  Click on All Cards and reduce them to your desired collection using the filters.

Export a Card List, and all the IDs can be found in the export.  Use the IDs to create a list for import based on the templates above.

  

 

Magic: The Gathering uses the same card IDs as Scryfall.

Any errors in CSV formatting or IDs will be listed and must be fixed before the list is created unless the "Ignore Errors" toggle is selected.  If errors are ignored, only the errorless cards will be imported to the list.

At this time, there is no immediate indicator that your list has been imported correctly (though there would be no errors).  If the import is successful, the number of items imported will be shown, and the Create List button will become active.
