How to track a Riftbound collection: binder, spreadsheet or app?
To track a Riftbound collection, record for every card its set code, collector number, finish (normal or foil) and quantity. A free browser binder does this by scanning or searching, adds current prices, shows set completion and exports to CSV. A spreadsheet works too but needs manual prices and an easy way to look up numbers.

What a good collection record contains
- Set code and collector number, including any letter after the number, because they identify the printing.
- Finish: normal or foil. They are separate products and priced separately.
- Quantity, so duplicates are counted once, correctly.
- Variant: alternate art, signature, overnumbered or Metal, which is implied by the number but easy to lose in a spreadsheet.
- Optional: condition and where the copy came from, if you plan to sell or trade.
Three ways to do it
| Method | Setup | Prices | Set completion | Main drawback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper list or binder pages | None | Manual lookup | By eye | Slow to total and easy to lose |
| Spreadsheet | Create columns and enter cards | Manual or pasted in | Needs formulas | You must type every number correctly |
| Browser binder (RIFT SCAN) | None; scan or search | Current TCGplayer prices | Built in, base and master | Stored in one browser unless exported |
Using the free binder
- Open the scanner and add cards by scanning or by searching a name or collector number.
- Confirm the printing and the finish for each card. Quantity increases when you add a duplicate.
- Open My Binder to see the total value, a split by domain and any cards with no price for their finish.
- Open Set completion to see progress in every set. Base set means one of each numbered card; Master set means every printing.
- Export to CSV regularly, because the binder is stored in your browser and clearing site data removes it.
For a fast way to get hundreds of cards in, follow how to scan a whole collection. The feature list for the tracker itself is in the collection tracker guide.
Back it up and share it
There is no account, so nothing is stored on a server. The CSV export is your backup and works in any spreadsheet. A share link encodes your binder in the address so someone else can view it, which is useful for showing a trade list. Treat the link as public: anyone who has it can see the cards in it.
Know what you are aiming for
Decide first whether you are collecting a base set or every printing. A base set is much cheaper; compare the figures in the cost to complete a set, and see the full list of Riftbound sets to pick one. Once the binder is filled, value it honestly.
How these numbers are calculated
Every figure on this page is calculated when the site is built, from the public RiftHunt card catalog and the daily TCGplayer price estimates published through the RiftHunt API. A printing’s headline price is its normal market price, otherwise its foil market price, otherwise its lowest listing. Medians are used instead of averages so a few expensive cards do not distort the result. Prices are estimates for typical copies, not offers to buy or sell. RIFT SCAN is an unofficial fan project; see about RIFT SCAN, or look up any card in the set lists.
Common questions
What is the best way to track a Riftbound collection?
The best system records set code, collector number, finish and quantity for every card. A browser binder does that by scanning or searching and adds prices; a spreadsheet works if you are willing to type numbers and look up prices.
Can I move my collection to another device?
Yes, by exporting to CSV or by using a share link. The binder is stored in your browser, so another device starts empty until you bring the data over. Scanning a whole collection describes the workflow.
Does the binder track foils separately?
Yes. Each line stores the finish and the quantity, and the value uses the price of that finish.

- Valuing your collectionValue a Riftbound collection by pricing every card at its TCGplayer market price, for its own printing and its own finish, then adding the lines up. As of 26 October 2026, the top tenth of printings account for about 94% of the catalog’s total value, so correctly identifying your few valuable cards matters far more than the bulk.
- Scanning a whole collectionTurn on automatic adding to your binder, sort the cards by set, and scan them one after another in Auto mode on a plain surface under even light. Fix any card flagged as uncertain as you go, set foils to Foil, then export the binder to CSV as a backup. A few hundred cards take well under an hour.
- Cost to complete a setAs of 26 October 2026, the cheapest way to own one of every numbered card in a Riftbound set ranges from about $49.16 to $2,107.30 depending on the set. Each total uses the cheaper finish of every card, and a few expensive cards usually make up most of it.
- All sets and release datesThe Riftbound catalog contains 10 sets and promo sets: Secret Garden (SGN), Riftbound Promotional Cards (PR), Origins (OGN), Riftbound Organized Play Promotional Cards (OPP), Origins: Proving Grounds (OGS), Riftbound Judge Promotional Cards (JDG), Spiritforged (SFD), Unleashed (UNL), Vendetta (VEN), Radiance (RAD). The newest is Radiance, released 23 October 2026. Together they hold 1,702 printings.
