Arak Zantara Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Thanks guys I do appreciate the input . But having lived that months on end data entry hell many times , I am looking forward to scanning by phone or hand unit[ 8 to 10 K of books and that is still too much. Last time it was 35K . I think it was 2005 or 2006 and my dear Departed mother ,came to help me, It still took the whole summer to finish I Was hoping to hear from someone who has used one of the apps , software packages I talking about. Happy Thanks giving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top left you key in what series you're looking for and down the left hand side you put a check into the box of what issues you have then select add to collection and it will let you input the grade what you paid and any other info you want to add alexgross.com and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNComix Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) I would recommend excel because of the sort and filter function. If you have lots of books and plan on tracking specifics (contributors, date, publisher, etc) then the sort/filter functions allow for grouped reports. You can later tie-in the excel worksheet to MS Access and incorporate images with the text content.

Happy Thanks giving Check out the Collectorz or CLZ app. I use the one made for the iphone and desktop version because it makes you mobile and functional. Very easy to use. It does cost, but nothing substantial if you consider what it is helping you do and how much time it will save you in the long run.

Arak Zantara Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 I want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to post an answer. Hey .wow now there are some great suggestions. lets see now.... I never did excel for a collection but I imagine for something my size it would be better to switch a collection database over to it. and comicbookrealm sounds wonderful and free is always nice but I dont think they have a bar code scanner... going to need it for this many entrees It looks like collectors CLZ is the way for me to go at this first year.... then I can always switch it over the following years . Again thank you so very much and if I dont see you before then, Have a Merry Christmas , Happy Holiday, and a Happy New Year ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
