Hello everyone. I've been lurking a little while and feel like I should introduce myself.
I won a large number of baseball cards around 1985. I've added to the "collection" every now and then by throwing another pack in the box. In 2013 I inherited a large number of cards. I never had time to do anything with them. Busy raising kids and that sort of thing.
I finally decided I should see what I have in that box, now that I have time. I had estimated I had about 3,000 altogether. Actually I have about 8,000. I am busy putting them in binders and recording what I have. Right now I am writing them in a notebook but plan on getting Excel and recording what I have in there.
My question is, how does everyone keep track of their cards when you have large numbers of cards? Is there a better way than Excel? I'm about halfway done with recording everything in the notebook. I haven't even seen half the cards I have yet. But writing all this in a notebook, only to transfer it all to Excel when I'm done.. Is there an easier way?
Thanks everyone!
