Hey Everyone,

New here and just getting back into collecting and investing in cards. I am more a baseball collector but will keep my eyes on getting into other sports collecting.

I do have a question that seems hard to get a firm answer too. I don't have any digital reference to all my cards. I would like to have a database of them that would give me a way to keep track of what I have. I know there is Beckett but not sure I want to pay for the service. Anyway, what to people use to keep track of their cards and what the rough market changes that happen to the cards?

Thanks,
David

Hey David,

I use Excel to track, Flickr to retain pictures and then I just use leg work if I want to find out an approximate value of a given card.

Beckett is a joke. Nobody uses Beckett anymore. I am shocked they are still publishing. eBay completed sales is the way to go for true value most of the time.
