Good news everyone !

 

The new style slab barcodes use the same codec as the last generation. The spreadsheet tool worked on all of them :

The Art Contents do not exactly match what is on the label:

 

Jack Kirby & Ayers cover

Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Don Heck,

Paul Reinman& Ayers art

 

Yes, the missing space in "Reinman&" is actually how it is printed. Uggh, can't believe they auto-replace Mr. Ayers first name :(

 

I only have 5 of the new style slabs, all basic blues, but they all worked fine.

It's time for another :bump:to this AMAZING THREAD! WOW yet another reason I love the boards! If you have a current working version of this I would LOVE to get it. I am currently trying to go back through my entire collection to update with scans, pictures, descriptions,  etc for inventory and insurance  and it would be a HUGE time saver to be able to scan the cgc labels and populate the information.  I am also looking at printing custom labels for the raws similar to what my comic shop does for my assessment of grade and information about the books. I REALLY HOPE YOU HAVE THIS STILL !   

Thank you!

Hey man,

I still have it but need to dust it off and do some updates. The last time I tried to use it I got some unexpected results that may be due to the site update they did back in 2017.

It's just a basic Excel spreadsheet with a VBA -script. If anyone wants to jump into the fun, let me know as I'm not opposed to this being a "team" effort :)

Bought a super cheap barcode scanner from Amazon (think it was like $39 shipped), other than an internet connection and some slabs to scan, that's pretty much all you need from a requirements perspective.

I'll try and spend some quality Guinness-time tonight seeing where it stands....feel free to hit me up in a few days if I don't post back here.
