Ok so I have amassed a decent sized Frank Thomas Collection now (over 300 cards) and it is becoming difficult to keep track of them all when looking to see what I don't have for trades and buys so my question is:

Is there a way to track my cards with some kind of spreadsheet that is already made up somewhere?

Im not that good with wordpad or excel so a prepared one would sure save a ton of time.

Also I saw the sports card collecting database and tried to print their list out and it does not seem to work. Is there a way to print that list as I am super collecting him and want to get every card out there? If not is there anywhere else I can get a master list of allof his existing cards.

All help is appreciated and welcomed. Thanks

I would just sort it by year and type word) all the inserts and nicer cards and have a pile for base

and have a data table for when you get new cards in and where they go

I used the website Zistle for a while to keep my Griffey collection organized. It's not perfect, but certainly worth a try.

Ok I got thee user name good to go (same as here) but I don't see where I can put the list of cards I have already. It looks like you have to trade in order to amass your collection. It does have all of his cards there too, but is ther a way of printing the list out? LMK

You can just search "Frank Thomas" and it will bring up a list of all his cards in the database. Then you can click to the left of the card and "add" it to your virtual collection.

No Memorabilia yet, but it's definitely on the agenda for me. If I could pick up a signed baseball with COA it woul dbe a great start but I would look at anything of his Memorabilia or cards. If you have something LMK.

Very nice. I would love to look at them if you would do that. The hope is that sometime soon hopefully when I get the man cave exactly how I want it there will be a whole wall with all of his cards on it along with COA Auto's of a bat, ball jersey, helmet spikes and all. Thanks for offering and sharing those pictures with me and if you ever want to move them it would be great from one collector of his to another. :)!
