Catalogue my comics

it’ll be easier that way.
you can start with a spreadsheet, even if you’ll switch to another program later sometimes they can import from spreadsheets / CSV files. (CSV is a simple way to represent tables)

In the end, I just did it in a spreadsheet, with columns for UK price and US price of each comic. Took me getting on for four hours, but it was definitely worth it!

I’m trying to write an ambitious Rails app with functionality along the lines of imdb with a smattering of amazon. Ambitious is another word for overly-complex database! :-)

I’m in the process of writing a comic book web database to catalog my comics. Should be cool…

I’d quite like to catalogue most of my possessions, books, cds and records, certainly, but my comic collection is the one that would benefit most from the process.

If I had a complete list, not only could I begin to fill in the gaps in my collection, but also, using a tool such as http://www.stashmycomics.com/ or http://www.comicspriceguide.com/ I could make some kind of approximation as to how much filthy lucre the entire lot is worth.

Which would be nice for my wealth accumulation instincts.
