How do you keep track of your PC?

[wingedwheel07]

Hey everyone. I use the beckett website to keep track of my Zetterberg PC. The Zette PC is the only one large enough for me to have to try to keep track of what I have.

I can't take it anymore. The website is ridiculous. It never works right. If I can even get into my organize it usually only works for a few minutes then freezes.

So what do you guys use to keep track of your cards? I would prefer something online. Thanks.

Try google spreadsheet!

Works a bit like Microsoft Excel.

I used excell and every time a new set comes out I just copy my guys cards to the bottom, and wa lla instant update.

I keep track - Old School. A small notebook. I actually write stuff down!

This may be a Brit thing but I do the same.

Nah, I am the same....after the Supertooling I got from Beckett with their site update that cleaned out all my archival information (trade partner, purchase price, item traded, shipping total.....grrrrr.....don't get me started there...) I went to the world of print. Although, I compile my lists and save them to multiple virtual locales as well.... Buck Feckett.

Excel, my website and in my head. Just as long I keep the first two up to date there are no problems.

I am another paper and pencil guy for my two main PCs (Sakic,Paul Stastny) the other smaller PCs are kept in my head.Though lately that means more often than not I am flipping through shoebox after shoebox to see if I need a particular card:|

This is my choice too, dont have all "minor" stuff on my website but my main collections are there and then excel/notepad/scans on my own computer handles the rest.

I use my best computer, my brain.

What? NO photographic memories here?


Me niether, Stopped keeping a list in 2006, so still working off of my old exel list from 2005/06 season. Trying to pick up only pre lockout stuff because when ever I do pick up newer stuff I somehow keep buying more than one copy of the same card.
Also Martin's list is so big, over 4500 cards I can't keep up. Damn the card makers for printing 500 freaking versions of his cards every year.

my wants are in my memory. when a new release comes out i write down what i need and after a week or so it gets tossed.

I used to use the Beckett website but that became a frustrating endeavor. Now I use excel, photobucket and my head.

 

[gratzi]

I use a combo of Excel, photobucket and a pictures saved on my computer

 

[goldendogs11]

I use google docs to keep track of every last card from base - autos of the guys I collect. I wish I would have used the spreadsheet instead though but this works too

 

[Funkmobile]

I still use beckett

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I'm a little psychotic and I attempt to get all the parallels and inserts of Zetterberg. I'm currently at 707 different Z's listed in beckett and 963 total Zetterbergs. I still have atleast 50 cards I haven't loaded into the organize yet. I just can't keep track of them in my head. I'm too dumb. I atleast have them organized in order by year and name(Artifacts, Black, etc.), so if I can't remember if I have one I can go and physically look.

 

[VintageHky]

I put the cards in a box and try and remeber what I have...Because of the cards being in my personal collection and limited becasue of my player;I can remeber images of the cards.So I know whether I have them or don't. Even with my goalie cards,I can remeber if I have certain cards or not.....Pen and Paper..old school as well but if memory serves...What a minute what was I saying?What was the question?
I try not to get too techincal as collecting should be fun...worrying about a computer and lists make it too much work....

 

[J.Staal_Collector]

I just copy and pasted Jordan Staal list off beckett. (of course I had to tweak it and clean it up alot because it was just big mess) As I get a card I just highlight the card in "red" to know I have it.

I also know pretty well what cards I have in my head.
