Hi All,

What do you fine folks do to keep track of everything?

I am teaching my son numbers & letters at the moment (he's 3) and would like to do a kind of 'box ticking' exercise from a printout or the like for my modules. Will be a fun bonding thing (and useful for me also).

In the past i run a scrape of the Acaeum page to keep track of prices & things but was wondering if anyone had a more facy design i could print out and use as a 'neat' physical thing to refer to when bidding etc.

The above is fairly vague but please share what you do and if you have any cool ideas!

Cheers,
Shadeun

p.s. had a go with the forum search functionality to find something and failed. Please excuse if there was another way to search as "collection tracking" and "collecting list" and similar forms showed very little.

I use a Google Sheet with a few different tabs for different types of collectibles (Rule books, boxed sets, modules, dragon mags).  Each tab is a little different but they all generally have a product code, printing number, year, condition, etc.

Thank you for your responses, seems like what i am using is 'in line' with others.

If anyone else has a fancy 'catelogue' type thing they have filled out and want to share that'd be lovely but otherwise i think i'll work off sheets like you guys have said.

Or perhaps put some effort into a catelogue with info once work dies down a little.

Thank you very very much!

The Collector's Database is available for free on the Facebook Acaeum page. Just look in the "FILES" section and download. It's in Microsoft Access format and includes a report that you can print to take inventory of your collection.

Excel is my friend. Sorted by company then stock code and then (if necessary) alphabetical. But about 96% of items have stock codes.

Most folks do not sort by stock code, but I do not understand why. It seems the obvious way to do it since companies do, but I guess since many folks started their collecting with D&D they like to have the modules grouped together. That never mattered to me because my goal from very early was to get one of everything FRP, so no one series of modules nor the products of one particular company was more important than any other.

Thirded.

When you say stock codes, do you mean the for digit product codes or something more specific?

TSR Codes

Lists like this seem fairly complete:  List of TSR products by product code | Card Game Database Wiki | Fandom

I'm surprised there isn't a public domain database/spreadsheet that links all this stuff together with upc and isbn where possible.  If anyone has something like that, please let me know.

(I use a mix of product code and printing number.)
