TCG Player Your Collection (I'm lost, please help)

General
1

Let me start by saying I buy what I like and what Pokemon I like and roll with it for the most part. I also get the concept of the Your Collection option and how to add cards. Never really thought of using this until I ordered a few cards from there and noticed they automatically populated and started a Your Collection on my behalf. Now here’s where I’m lost. I picked up about 20 random cards, don’t really know what sets, I just liked the cards. I’ve been able to track down what sets and cards they are for the most part. But here is where I’m really lost. So here’s an example.

Card is a Snorlax GX SM Promo #SM05

Options I have to add are as follows
Snorlax GX SM05 [Holofoil] (this is the only 1 that has any prices listed for low mid high)
Snorlax GX SM05
Snorlax GX SM05 [1st Edition Holofoil]
Snorlax GX SM05 [Reverse Holofoil]
Snorlax GX SM05 [1st Edition Normal]

After clicking on all the links an comparing, they all pop up to the same card. Several other cards also did this and other also only have 1 price listed as well.

Would I be wrong to choose the 1 with the price listed? (I realize this is just a ballpark figure) I also noticed the low($1) and mid($2) prices on a Cinderace V 035/192 seemed normal and the high was $1,000. Seemed a little weird to have such a difference. It’s my conclusion that these prices are product of listed prices and in the instance maybe the guy put a couple to many zeros.

Any info you might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated. I think I’m on the right track but would hate to start adding all these cards and realize there was a better option. Speaking of better options, is there a better option to keep track of my cards that would show prices or even without, besides using a spreadsheet. Thanks.

The first option is the only correct option. There is no such thing as a “GS” card (in this case), and GX cards cannot be first editions or reverse holofoils.

Thank you, that’s kinda what I was thinking. And the GS is a typo on my part. It’s just kinda weird they have all the option when some of them don’t even exist.

I spent a ton or money on Tcgplayer last year. It even keeps track of your collections value. But it fails to add cards sometimes or it says it’s worth $0. Then when I try to add cards not purchased on tcgplayer was quite difficult. Still can’t figure it out. Anyone here a expert on this stuff?
