    ^ LOL!  Welcome to the boards, Arny!!  

     

     

    And what a hobby to have mate!  Little bit jealous that you get to enjoy it with your wife. (My wife doesn’t get into comics).

    Welcome to the boards!! 

    For organising your collection, I’ve tried a few things (and many here will swear black and blue that Excel is all you need), but I am a massive advocate for Collectorz software. It makes adding your collection a breeze (scan with barcode and get all core issue data pre-populated), supports a bunch of personalised data and viewing it on any device anywhere easy as. Worth checking out: https://www.collectorz.com

    How good was that first run of American Vampire? :x 

    I am truly blessed she likes to be a apart of my comic craze. Since the lockdowns, she reads more than me on digital.

    We had been using Excel, but I can't wait to try that site you suggested. Thank you!

  2. Hello!

    I have been collecting comics since my early 20's (15 years). My collection leans more Marvel, with my favorite stories being Spider-Man, Daredevil, Moon Knight, the Avengers. In the past, I collected the Walking Dead, American Vampire, and Letter 44.

    Until March, I had only been a reader and collector. With the quarantine, my wife and I sorted all of my books and made them much easier to see what I had. A year earlier, I bought my first slab, and was craving another. As we went through the comics, we pulled variants and keys, so I could have some of my comics graded. That was all it took, after the first ones came back, I made 4 more submissions! It was so great to see my comics come back encapsulated, and I have learned so much about grading since!

    Now, my wife and I buy comics we want, press them, and send them to be graded. We have a new hobby :)
