  Make a list. If you're making your own custom card wish list, looking through these online lists is a great way to get an idea of exactly everything that is available. Make your list as detailed as you would like. A simple way to do this is to just open a text document on your computer and go to work. To keep the information as clear as possible for you, make columns specifying what brand the card is, the name of the series it's in and its price.
