I have been keeping an excel spread sheet of all purchases, date of purchase, price paid, overstreet value, raw or graded grades, year published, who I purchased from.

All alphabetized. Makes it easy to find all books in my collection.
Took a lot of time to log books in, but once existing books are logged in, all you have to do is update it when you get new books.

And I have been keeping another spread sheet for sales.
This one has date and price of when I purchased the books, prices sold for, fees and shipping costs paid, and whom I sold the books to and date of sale.
This one was started to show amount of profit for my accountant so I am only paying taxes on profit, and not on sale price.

The most important aspect of keeping these records is not to forget to log in new information on transactions. VERY helpful....

This^^ I have not done this yet with my comic collection as it grew rather quickly also turning into a serious hobby for me just as quickly. It was one those “what have I done!” moments. What’s most “important” I can remember what I paid to the nearest dollar and the small potatoes I can quesstimate. I did do this with a large portion of my video game collection and helped me liquidate those easily and come out ahead.

	I wish there was a way to add comics that were graded in the past that you have now in your collection to the "My Comics" section of your account. This would help to track the issues you have and the grades they were given. Also if it was a variant or not. Also then you could see the grader notes if there was not a QR code on an older grading.

	I use an app on my ipad 2. thing is so old and almost not worth using but use it for an app that allows me keep track of what comics i have. i can look for specific issues done by an artist, writer, storyline and there options for each title if I want to have what its value, and condition (among other things). helps me know what to grab for conventions instead of trying to find random stuff (i even catagorize them by what bin they are in) it actually is called My comics app. I would use it on a better device but cant find it anywhere else

Ugh. Organizing this and my artwork is a nightmare. I need something like that when I am at cons, etc.

	You can upload anything to www.myslabbedcomics.com. I use it to showcase and keep up with my graded books.
