Importing & Exporting Your Collection

Use the Relic Roster CSV template

Before importing your collection, download the CSV template provided inside Relic Roster. The template helps ensure your file is formatted correctly and includes the supported fields Relic Roster can recognize during import.

Using the template is the best option if you are:

• –Importing your collection for the first time
• –Moving data from another spreadsheet
• –Cleaning up an existing collection file
• –Unsure which columns to include
• –Trying to avoid import errors

You can open the template in Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, or another spreadsheet editor.

How the template works

Each row in the template represents one item in your collection. Each column represents a specific item detail, such as:

• –Item Name
• –Player Name
• –Team
• –Sport
• –Category
• –Year
• –Condition
• –Authentication Company
• –Certification Number
• –Grading Company
• –Grade
• –Purchase Price
• –Estimated Value
• –Date Acquired
• –Purchased From
• –Storage Location
• –Notes

You do not need to fill in every column. Leave any fields blank if they do not apply to the item.

Before uploading the template

Before importing your completed CSV file, check the following:

• –Keep the original column headers in place.
• –Use one row per collectible.
• –Do not delete the header row.
• –Leave unused fields blank instead of removing columns.
• –Save or export the file as a .csv.
• –Review dates, prices, and certification numbers for accuracy.

For best results, avoid changing the template column names unless you are sure the new names are supported.

How to import your collection

After importing, check a few items to make sure the data appears correctly.

CSV format requirements

Relic Roster imports CSV files. A CSV file is a spreadsheet-style file that stores data in rows and columns.

The import file should include:

• –One header row
• –One collectible per row
• –Clear item details in each column
• –CSV file format

If your file is currently saved as .xlsx, .numbers, or another spreadsheet format, export it as a CSV before uploading.
