Wishlist — Never Miss Another Issue

A wish list designed for comic book collectors

The comic wishlist is an indispensable tool for every serious collector. Unlike a simple list scribbled on a piece of paper or a memo on your phone, the wish list built into My Comics Collection is directly connected to your inventory. This means it already knows which issues you own and which you are missing, eliminating any risk of duplicate purchases. Complementing your missing comics detection, the wishlist lets you precisely target the issues you are actively seeking and plan your acquisitions strategically.

Whether you frequent conventions, specialty shops, or online platforms, having your wish list accessible on your smartphone radically changes your buying experience. No more doubts in front of a comic bin, no more missed opportunities due to lack of preparation. Your wishlist goes everywhere with you and lets you make informed purchasing decisions in seconds. Every sought-after issue is listed with its specific criteria, allowing you to instantly know if a found copy meets your expectations.

Smart adding from your collection

One of the major advantages of the My Comics Collection wishlist is its deep integration with your collection tracking system. When you view a series and identify missing issues, you can add them to your wish list in a single click. The system automatically retrieves all issue information: series title, issue number, publication year, and cover. You do not need to enter anything manually -- everything is pre-filled for maximum time savings.

Adding from the catalog

You can also browse the catalog of over 1,000 series available on My Comics Collection to discover new series and add specific issues to your wishlist. When you import a new series, all unowned issues can be batch-added to your wish list, letting you quickly build a complete wishlist for a series you are starting to collect. This automated process is a considerable time saver for collectors starting a new collection.

Manual entry for rarities

For rare or special issues not yet in the catalog, the wishlist allows full manual entry. You can describe precisely what you are looking for: specific edition, cover variant, desired condition, and maximum budget. These custom entries are particularly useful for collectors searching for limited editions or special prints that make a collection valuable.

Priorities and purchase planning

Each wishlist item can receive a priority level: urgent, high, normal, or low. This priority system helps you organize your searches and focus your budget on the most important issues. When you check your wishlist before a convention, priority issues appear at the top of the list, letting you target your purchases efficiently. Combining priorities with a per-issue budget gives you a clear view of your acquisition plan.

Budget and financial tracking

For each issue on your wishlist, you can set a maximum budget. This feature is invaluable during negotiations at conventions or for evaluating online offers. The wishlist dashboard displays your total wish budget, budget by priority, and average cost per issue. These financial indicators help you plan your spending and stay within your collecting budget. By cross-referencing this data with market valuation, you make ever more informed purchasing decisions.

Notes and specific criteria

Each wishlist item can be enriched with personal notes and specific criteria. You can specify the minimum acceptable condition, the edition sought, desired cover conditions, or any other relevant information. These notes are visible at a glance when you check your wishlist on mobile, helping you make a quick decision when faced with a potential copy.

Automatic sync with your collection

The strength of the My Comics Collection wishlist lies in its permanent synchronization with your collection. When you add an issue from your wish list to your inventory, it is automatically removed. Conversely, if you remove an issue from your collection, it can be automatically re-added to your wishlist based on your preferences. This two-way sync ensures your wish list always reflects your actual needs without any manual intervention on your part.

The wishlist is also a social tool. You can generate a sharing link for your wish list, facilitating exchanges with other collectors. A friend or dealer can view your wishlist and directly offer you the issues they have. It is a natural bridge between your personal collection and the collector community, turning every encounter into a targeted acquisition opportunity.
