[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 2058722, member: 36248"]If you always wanted to create a PCGS want-list, but felt that it would be a very tedious undertaking, I want to share with you a method that could make it a lot easier. Sign in, and find your want-list here. It may already contain some items, or be totally blank like mine was. [url]http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/mysetregistry/mywanteditems.aspx[/url] The fastest way I've found to create a want-list is to use the [B]upload [/B]feature at PCGS and simply bring in your want list. The only column you really need is the [B]PCGSNo [/B]field. You don't need to use Excel, any spreadsheet type program that is easy to use and can save your file as a comma-separated values file type will work. You could even use notepad! Here is what my Excel file looks like: [ATTACH=full]379330[/ATTACH] Header-row names must be named exactly as above, but can be in any order, and not all require data. I look up the [B]PCGSno[/B] values here: [url]http://www.pcgs.com/pcgsnolookup/[/url] and cut and paste them into my Excel form in bulk. Meaning, you can grab one, or ten, of 50 records all at once. Highlight the coins you want, and hit [CTRL]-C (or right-click COPY). [ATTACH=full]379335[/ATTACH] Then back to Excel to past them in, [CTRL]-V. Don't worry about the color / font formatting. [ATTACH=full]379336[/ATTACH] Do a save-as to create a CSV version, and upload it here: [url]http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/MySetRegistry/AddWantedItems.aspx[/url] Then you will see something like this: [ATTACH=full]379329[/ATTACH] I have a lot more coins to add, but these 64 will be a good test.
