How do you track your collection?

I use "Realms Of Wonder" to track my comic collection, and have found it to be wonderful, but I have to wonder... Is there a better way?

How do other people track their collections? Or do they?

I use Comicbase. It's beyond compare. And it's expensive.

I just use a series of linked Excel spreadsheets.

Oh and ckb, since you didn't go to med school, how can you afford Comicbase. Last I looked it ran (without discounts $149).

What the?! ... this is not an acceptable method for organizing and keeping comic books?

This reminds me that I need to go out and buy a new long box...These valiants are taking up a lot more room than I thought that they would. My girlfriend is going to start to get mad about the amount of space she is "losing"....

I use excel spread sheets to keep track of my collection.

RE Space: My wife lets me have a room upstairs for my comics, toys, and posters. She is very understanding of my addiction to this stuff and tolerates it pretty well(over 15,000 comics and counting)!!

So with all of this said, has anyone tried to insure their addictions. If so, what needs to be done with ones collection to have it insured.

thanks in advance,

When I last talked to my insurance agent regarding my collection, he said to keep an inventory and that's all that would be needed. My collection, at the time, was only worth a few thousand dollars so he said I didn't need additional coverage.

So, I started keeping track of the books with software and I take digital pictures of the valuable ones...

Hopefully, I'll never need them. It'll be next to impossible to rebuild the collection.

My collection has been insured for three years by www.collectinsure.com
No need for itemized lists... just a coverage amount.
(Single items over $5,000 have to be itemized, but I don't have any of those.)
The insurance is underwritten by The Hartford Group.

$100 a year buys some "peace of mind" for me...

Homeowners policies usually have limits, so it's important to know what those are.

Hmm Well I used to use Microsoft Excel! But after eBay and all that stuff! I lacked the time to update Excel! So now I guess I don't!

Used to use Excel, but Access is a much better way to do it. I don't have time for either anymore, so I don't keep track.

I am thinking about comic base! Fill me in as to why I should use it CKB!
