Popular Post Ares Posted November 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2021 So a few months ago I had to paint the collection room/Play room. The meant emptying the file cabinets to move them and covering everything up. When it came time to put everything back in its place I noticed I created a massive problem for myself. The collection was all over the place, I didn't keep track of the order I put books some I had put on different floors of the house. I also noticed the bags were old and everything needed to rebagged & boarded. I subbed to the CLZ android app and started to scan everything in too keep track of what I had. As each book was scanned, I changed bags and boards. And ran out of both. Time for trips to LCS. Shop has resealable bags which are a godsend. I buy a few hundred of both & I go home to continue... And notice some of the boards are wrong size. Back to the store to exchange. Bagging and boarding continues over few weeks cause I am a lazy SOB.. Until I run out of boards. Back to the store which has run out of boards and they are on back order. I put an order in and wait and wait and wait. Store finally gets more supplies. Back to the lazy scanning. As of last night, I finished the job. Many many books in new bags and scanned so I know where everything is. And Exactly how many books I have. Which is not as much as I thought Now I can finally tidy up the room and make it into a true hobby room. I will try to post pics of what it looks like. badback83, jcjames, Morganmi and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just scanned every slab I have over a few months. Then someone posted scans with a scanner that look better. Now I'm dreading considering doing it all over. Congrats on finishing!

Vixom Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Sounds awful. My books will sit unorganized, unscanned, and in whatever bags and boards I bought them in until they are sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was taken a few years ago after a bit of an earthquake in my locked up storage shed. Just look at those boxes on the left. How they didn't fall is beyond me. These are my "new krap" from the late 70's to modern. Plus a bunch of show boxes. More on the right side out of the picture. I have parted ways with WAY more than half of them now. If you only knew what was in those boxes. Runs of ASM including 5 copies of 300 I bought off the newstand. A near complete run of newsstand Star Wars, and more "movie books" than you can shake a stick at. Would have been a flipper's paradise. Glad they are gone, good riddance...

Yes I'm sure you were thankful for no damage I was halfway joking, just knowing it was good stuff , but glad it was sorted out! I've only been in California for 2 to3 earthquakes, all I can say is that they were different for this Texas kid every single time. A different feeling to them I should say. I think only 1 was a big one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only 1 was a big one I've been through a few real shakers. Funny thing is they come out of no where and are usually over very fast. Usually by the time you realize it, it's over. Buildings are generally built to withstand them pretty well. Older ones, not so much. Been lucky to never sustain any real damage. Am smart enough to have some supplies put away in my car and garage just in case. Give me a good shaker over a hurricane or TX flood or twister and day of the week. Now, brush fires scare the carp out of me but I live by the ocean and luckily don't have to deal with those either. sckao and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plustek OpticPro A320E first brought up in the scanner thread 3 years ago, but this newbie posted some scans on the boards 4 months ago - and they looked amazing. He's the first verified user who's posted results. https://wisconsincomics.com/scanning-graded-comics/ on amazon for $549, free delivery, thinking about it too. But the $ and the work, you know, for an incremental upgrade...
