Here's a tip you might like, if you use slab albums with 9-slot pages.

My collection management site offers such PDFs as an option. I just haven’t taken advantage of that yet.

Cool how you had kind of the same idea, minus the pockets. I am thinking of switching to full page sheet protectors for the coin writeups, as mentioned. If I do, I might steal your idea.

Nine pages in sheet protectors (one for each coin), then a summary overlay done as a 9x9 table in Word, then the slab page.

Repeat for each subsequent slab page. Only thing is, I’m not sure my album is thick enough to hold all those sheet protectors, given that each album holds four pages with nine slab slots in each. That would mean 36 pages in sheet protectors total, plus four summary overlays and four pages of actual slabs.

Dunno. I’ll have to try it. The albums do have some extra space inside.

 

It should be added that those are copies of the invoices. Note that the same print date is shown on several of them.

Unfortunately, since I only got a desk and my own office space late last year, I lost many of the original documents in the chaotic state that existed before I finally got my own workspace.

 

Let me tell you, having to constantly move my stuff around and store it in two briefcases and an untold number of boxes was driving me nuts. We lived in a cramped singlewide trailer up until the year before last, and there was no space for anything.

We're still in a (newer) singlewide trailer now, but I have a desk and workspace, finally, after having had to live like a vagabond for 20+ years. The better coins were always either in safe deposit or otherwise accounted for, but the cheaper stuff and all my documents and everything else was getting constantly shuffled around. I'd have to borrow one end of the kitchen table to work at- IF there was room amidst all the layers of clutter on that.

I'm not saying I or our household are yet the model of organization and good housekeeping - far from it- but things are a lot better than they were, and now with my mini-office, I can claim my own space and not have to worry about finding the wife and daughter's nail files or socks or crochet needles or heaven knows what other junk mixed up with or on top of my coin stuff, if you know what I mean. (And daughter has gone off to college, so there's one less human in the house on a regular basis.)
