Silentbob Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I recently decided to sell some of my collection and am trying to figure out the least painful way of recording it. An Excel spreadsheet would take forever to populate around 1,500 comics. Is there an application or service that might make this task easier?

Do auction houses like Heritage accept submissions of collections in this format? I recently inquired with them on a sale of collection and they told me to send them a list in spreadsheet format which I don't have the time to populate. This looks like it would be more point and click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faster friends Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 1500 does not sound like that large of a collection. Surely there are runs of individual titles. BlowUpTheMoon and Deadpoolica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01TheDude Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) you can record the collection on a website-- I use Comic Book Realm https://comicbookrealm.com/ . My advice is to take a couple of months reviewing the numerous informational threads on this site -- especially the one in the Newb forum-- you know-- research and effort ---- that will give you the best idea how to approach it. If you simply throw out some generic questions expecting everyone to figure this out for you-- expect that your results will be as worthwhile as the time you invested. I've read a handful of your interactions so far and you seem to think the people here and not very knowledgeable -- a massive under estimation of the expertise here. That said - the people here are also not fools or your servants. So maybe roll back the expectations and animosity toward people you have barely ever met.

Good advice Dude. I don't have any anonymousity towards anyone. I didn't try to come off that way. Sorry if it was misinterpreted. I'm just trying to find a rug that ties the room together.

Surely there are runs of individual titles. Maybe 1,500 doesn't sound like a lot to you. I beg to differ. Close to 1,000 of those were purchased when I was between the ages of 10-16 years old. I rode my bike just about every weekend 6 miles to my local shop and spent every dollar I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ride uphill, both ways? I recently finished cataloguing my "Good Stuff" in Excel. 2,000 books. Just spend about an hour a day working on it, and you'll be done in a month.

LOL...it wasn't uphill but it was a tiny BMX bike 3 sizes too small and a bent fork from not nailing a sweet jump properly. Did you use a service or enter manually? I would think scanning via the Collectorz app would be far less painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always look up the price (whatever you prefer to use) and as they can change frequently, I don't bother to record it. 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 Edited February 5, 2020 by 707comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
