Before getting ready for the NYCC I better figure out what I want.

The past couple of months I have not kept up with cataloging my collection. My New comic books for the past two months have gone unlisted. I even had trouble placing them in their proper boxes. I use Collectorz software to keep everything organized and without my internet access being reliable I can?t download the new issues I need to keep it up to date. I first tried this software a couple years ago after I purged my collection. The app for the iPod touch is what made my decision to use Collectorz.

Lately I have been thinking about condensing again. This time I?ll use e-Bay rather than an LCS to off load my books. I am not looking for a huge profit so much as getting my money back which of course will go right back out again. I plan on doing this after I either purchase the same books in trade or digital but also after I have a CGC graded copy. Of course that will get expensive. I don?t need the room this time. There is no necessity to condense 45 long boxes into something more manageable like I did all those years ago. I am still in the same junior one bedroom but how I have my half boxes are more than able to hold my current collection with minor room to grow.

After breaking my toe I didn?t do much around my apartment. Slowly as it healed I began to straighten up and clean which was left unattended. In fact the only thing I kept up with was my cat?s litter box. I can now lift my half boxes and walk without a limb allowing me to once again put the books in their proper place even though my internet has still given me troubles. My past few journals have taken up to thirty minutes to post. The length of time my internet has been taken makes me miss dial up.

Once I separate my comics into two categories (keep and discard) I will start over in organizing them in my Collectorz software. This time I am going to try to have a category for my raw books an my CGC copies. Thankfully I love this hobby because keeping organized is hard work.

Thanks for Reading
