A question for those who keep a digital record of their collection

A+ for use of graph paper.

I love graph paper. It is the best paper

I'm a FileMaker Pro user although I don't use it to its full potential. I'd like to print inserts from the database but haven't yet set it up to do so.

Right now I'm using business cards folded in half (have to trim a little off the top for them to fit in a 2x2 flip). One side is imprinted with my vanity logo. I handwrite the basic attribution on the other side. The business cards are stiff enough that inserting and removing them from stiff Saflips doesn't require surgical instruments. Also, the coin's prior ephemera can be safely stored in the folded card.

Thanks for the information Carthago. I'm going to start building my database in FM Pro when I get more free time in the coming weeks.

 

I have worked with databases for years now and I have to admit I really really don't like FileMaker. I find Access 1000 times easier to work with and 1000 times more flexible. Unfortunately, a Mac version of Access doesn't seem to exist, so Mac users are condemned to use FileMaker. It's not terrible, I just found it easier to do what I wanted to with Access. Nonetheless, it should work for this purpose.

Just my inflation-bloated 2 cents worth... and that's not much...
