I find it more pertinent to record the following: 1) Title 2) Issue 3) Condition 4) Purchase date 5) Purchase price 6) Purchased from While I normally remember these things it has been nice to have a concise location I can fall back on when my brain gets fuzzy I do the same I have a excel as my collection has grown quite large.... and I forget sometimes the purchase price but I do usually have a note of where I got it and how much I paid but I haven't made a column of overstreet price guide or gpa since GPA prices change all the time.. 707comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have GPA? also if you do sell I can buy them off you for Overstreet price??? just messing around but curious as I think your one of the first people I've come across that is cataloging with Overstreet Price guide. No I don't have GPA. When I am ready to sell, I will happily take you up on your offer to buy my 2,000 comics at Overstreet prices. I'm going to let them age about ten more years and then sell them when I retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silentbob Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Looks like a lot of you guys are inputting manually into Excel. Can anyone comment on how the process went when the CLZ app was used? How was the list when imported into a spreadsheet? I foresee the advantage of scanning the barcode to be far less cumbersome then my hunt and peck skills on a spreadsheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I didn't like that there was no where to put grade or purchase price or other details that I like to record, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think of it, I had a lot direct editions too as I had a subscription service. Hopefully CLZ can identify comics other ways as well.

So , yes 1500 is nothing. Over 20,000 books ? A little different. Dave2739 and Krismusic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Clone Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I bought the CLZ app last night after reading this and checking it out. It's only $15 for a year so I said why not. So far it seems really easy and has every feature that I can think of. I did search for titles without a UPC and had no problem finding it quickly. After the first search, it was easier to find the rest of the books from the same title. Has the ability to keep multiple collections and move comics in and out. "Want List" is a nice feature also. So far the Go Collect price values that have popped up have been pretty good. I've adjusted 2 of the 20 that were being over valued. Lets you look at pretty much any books that fit a certain category also...graded, non-graded, Marvel, DC, Signed, Unsigned, etc. The scanning was lightning fast with how quick my books popped up. I also have my own spreadsheet that I've used for the last few years, but I think this will end up replacing it for good since I can export a file. Don't see how you can go wrong with it. thunsicker, oakman29 and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the review. I plan on getting this tonight in order to scan my collection. It took me a 4 hours just to put in order after the last time I moved them.

Have fun and lemme know if you have any problems with it. Silentbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
