The price guides
Beckett, COMC, CollectR — appraisers, not registrars. They will tell you what a card is worth long before they can tell you whether you own it.
A private registry · built for collectors
Every card you own, and every card you're still chasing.
Hantle is a fully-local collection manager for sports card collectors. Pre-built checklists, one-click ownership, and a needs list that assembles itself — kept in a single file on your own machine.

The tools collectors are given were never for collectors.
I · The CaseThe manual ledger
TCDB comes nearest, and asks for a 500-card set to be entered by hand — one card, one page load, at a time. There is no import. There is no app.
The rented cloud
Accounts, subscriptions, servers. A collection entrusted to a billing cycle is a collection with a lien on it.
The verdict: a collection deserves a registry of its own.
The catalogue of capabilities.
II · Nine LotsLot 001Collection BrowserYear, product, checklist — navigated like a well-kept archive, with team filters and instant player search.
Lot 002Ownership TrackingBase cards and parallels checked off in one click. Progress bars per checklist; Have and Need, separated.
Lot 003Rainbow TrackingElect any card for the full parallel chase. Retail runs stay open; exclusives fold politely away.
Lot 004Trade PileCards marked for movement, annotated. Withdrawn from the pile the day the deal is done.
Lot 005Import EnginePaste a Beckett article, a TCDB table, a CSV, a numbered list. Parsed offline; previewed before a single row is written.
Lot 006Team SetsEvery card bearing your team's name, across every product and year, with progress in plain view.
Lot 007Card ImagesPhotographs attached per card — and per parallel — so the registry resembles the binder.
Lot 008Backup & RestoreThe entire collection — ownership, tracking, trade pile — folded into one portable file.
Lot 009Fully LocalNo account. No cloud. No subscription. One SQLite file, held where it belongs: with you.
All lots included · no reserve
The rainbow, kept honest.
A single base card in 2026 Topps Series 1 carries forty-four parallels or more — twenty-three retail, twenty-one exclusive. This is where spreadsheets resign.
Hantle records the whole run per checklist, color-codes the print runs, and shows you exactly which rungs of the ladder are yours.
Purple for the one-of-ones. Red for ten and under. Orange to twenty-five. The registry keeps score so you can keep chasing.

III · The MethodStep 01
Bring in a checklist
Paste a set from anywhere — a Beckett article, a TCDB table, a CSV, a plain numbered list. The engine parses it offline and shows a preview before a single row is written.
Step 02
Mark what you own
Click through the boxes — base cards, parallels, whole rainbows. Progress bars fill as the binder empties into the registry.
Step 03
Read your needs list
Everything unchecked becomes the want list, automatically — filtered by team, player, or print run. You never write it; it's simply there.
Step 04
Carry it to the show
Stand at the dealer's table and answer the only question that matters — do I own this? — in seconds. The registry runs wherever your machine goes.
Hantle runs from a local copy on your own machine — no installer, no store, no account. A full setup guide arrives when the registry opens.
Provenance: yours.
