Bulk Lister - Item Specifics

Item Specifics

If you would like to provide value for Item Specifics, such as "Main Character", "Stamp Condition", etc., you can do so by adding the appropriate Item Specifics fields to your Bulk Lister CSV file. Review the Bulk Lister > Fields page:


HipComic:   https://www.hipcomic.com/members/tools/bulk-lister/?filter=structure

HipStamp:   https://www.hipstamp.com/members/tools/bulk-lister/?filter=structure

HipPostcard:   https://www.hippostcard.com/members/tools/bulk-lister/?filter=structure


Each Item Specifics field will start with "item_specifics_", and can be added to your Bulk Lister CSV file by adding a new column with the corresponding field name. Alternatively, you can also download the "All Fields (Expert)" Bulk Lister template.


Allowed Values

Most Item Specifics can only accept specific values, as defined on  the Bulk Lister > Fields page.


Example

On HipStamp, the Item Specifics field: item_specifics_05_stamp_format, lists the "Allowed Values" as:
single, block, error, full-sheet, miniature-sheet, multiple, pair, plate-block, plate-number-coil, souvenir-sheet
Any values submitted other than the ones listed above will not be accepted by the Bulk Lister, and will be ignored.


Magic Item Specifics

Another great way to speed up the bulk listing process is by using Magic Item Specifics, which allows you to omit certain Item Specific fields from your Bulk Lister CSV file (do not include them as columns within your file), and we will magically fill in the appropriate values for you. The following Magic Item Specifics are currently available

 

Site Item Specific Notes
HipStamp item_specifics_01_country If you include the Country (or Stamp Issuing Entity) within the Title (name) of your Listing, we will automatically assign the appropriate Country Item Specific to your listing.
HipStamp item_specifics_02_catalog_number If you include the Country (or Stamp Issuing Entity) and Catalog Number within the Title (name) of your Listing, we will automatically assign the appropriate Catalog Number Item Specific to your listing. To ensure accuracy, please enter the Country and Catalog Number within your Title in the following format: Country #X (ie: United States #1). Note that if you are not using the Scott Catalog, please prepend your Catalog Number with the Catalog's Abbreviateion (ie: United States SG25).
HipStamp item_specifics_04_condition If you include the Condition within the Title (name) of your Listing, we will automatically assign the appropriate Condition Item Specific to your listing. The Condition can be included in any standard stamp abbreviation. For example, MNH, MOGNH, Mint NH, etc. will all magically map to the Mint (NH) Condition.
HipStamp item_specifics_05_stamp_format If you include the Stamp Format within the Title (name) of your Listing, such as Block, Sheet, etc. we will automatically assign the appropriate Condition Item Specific to your listing.  The  Stamp Format  can be included in any standard stamp abbreviation. For example, PB, PlBlk, Plate Blk, etc. will all magically map to the the Plate Block Stamp Format.
HipStamp item_specifics_03_stamp_type If you include, or we magically add, the Country and Catalog Number to your Listing, we will automatically assign the appropriate Stamp Type, such as General Issue, Revenues, etc. Note that we currently only support Scott Catalog Numbers to magically assign this Item Specific.
HipStamp item_specifics_07_year_of_issue If you include, or we magically add, the Country and Catalog Number to your Listing, we will automatically assign the appropriate Year of Issue (when it is within our Catalog). Note that we currently only support Scott Catalog Numbers to magically assign this Item Specific.
