how do you all track your comic collection

[Rabidcamel]

The oldschool way...notepad...

 

 

I only have 25 comics...

[Comicopolis]

Bits of paper - always getting lost or being out of date.

Up to now, I've used an Excel spreadsheet. It's just getting too unwieldy with all the information I like to track.

 

So... I've decided to follow Count's example and design my own form for an Access database. Besides - it gives me a rainy snowy day project! Damn weather.

You can import your Excel spreadsheet directly into Access.

Cool. I was hoping that would shorten the process.

 

I'm looking forward to the project, though. I guess it's just the inner geek in me.

Excel spreadsheet. And I also import the file into FileMaker Pro for searching purposes.

But you have almost everything already. Is this for upgrade purposes?

And seriously, you must have a siiick collection.

I still use paper inventory sheets, but I'm old ::

 

And, my collection, long ago, won the inventory control battle....,

 

 

Yeah, what he said! I think... (turns up gain on hearing aid, adjusts bifocals)

[apollobuzz]

Excel all the way with separate worksheets for raw keepers, cgc keepers, raw sell, cgc sell, and cgc trades.

i use a good old notebook. how can you take a software prog to a LCS or convention?

 

on a blackberry or laptop

 

Yeah, I'm working on getting my softcopy inventory onto my smartphone. Gotta install the phone software on the PC though. Too bad, the phone has wifi and can connect to my network, but Windows doesn't see it as a shared external HD or data copying would be a piece o' cake.

I have all my books thumbtacked to the walls of my house, in order. I just do a walk by.

Actually I have the BCW index dividers that go up to number #498. They have a box to check the issue number, and a line if you want to add a price. I use those in my boxes to keep track of the issue numbers in the box. I then took a divider and made duplicate paper copies of it in the copy machine to put in a small binder to carry to cons with the same numbers that are present on the divider. That way i know exactly what issues I have and dont have. Its a little work to label the dividers and paper copies and mark all the numbers down, but when your done you know exactly what you have and dont have.

I use my brain.

 

I do too. But it's a poor method as I routinely have no idea anymore what I do and don't have. On the other hand it's exciting to open a box and be like s--t, I didn't know I still owned that!?!

 

Even better is when you open a box and say, "when the heck did I buy that?" :shrug:

I use Excel and comicspriceguide.com
