I track everything using www.comicspriceguide.com --- the values listed there are for reference only, but in many cases they are a good indication. Here are some screen-shots of some of the different lists/reports/galleries the site includes:

title-detail.png

 

issue-detail.png

 

 

Finally, I wanted a one-page, graphic checklist I could take to stores and shows as an easy reference of issues needed. I created a really simple spreadsheet for that (below). My next step is to color-code for grade (maybe red for high-grade, orage for mid, yellow for low --- and green to indicate an issue I really need to upgrade). Here is how that looks:

I still use a database...my husband made me convert it to a spreadsheet, cause he speaks the same language as JMG... doh!

 

In my heart, I'm with Nik, a good portion of my books are in boxes, waiting to be filed...and there is this section of floor space...;)

I created my own database. I keep track of everything... lol

 

I have my own forms, reports, queries, etc ...it's always being developed further and further... It's almost like a hobby :insane:
