<p>[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3107180, member: 93702"]I started the cataloging process tonight with <b>Google Keep</b>. It is very easy to use and great that you can add Tags to each - for super easy searches. It really is awesome - it looks great. I mean it - looks awesome!</p><p>Thank you <b>jp_depew!!</b></p><p>Previously I just made flip labels in MS Word and that was it.. now that I have a lot more room I am adding more details, the seller, etc.</p><p>But I noticed one thing that was unexpected... at the bottom of my details I added the price paid... which I never had on my flip labels... I had to dig to find the info. But the more info the better, right???</p><p><b>Wrong!!</b> (for me) !! Once I added a dozen or so coins and browsed through my new database I realized I did NOT want to see the price I paid when I am browsing my collection. <b>Not at all!!</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Not that I have buyers remorse ..but just that it sort of takes away from the coin.. or what I am trying to do - maybe?.. I really don't know how to express it.... the history means more to me than what I paid for it, more than what it's worth now and more than I can potentially get for it in the future.. which is kind of ironic in that we are talking about a form of currency here..lol</p><p><br /></p><p>If I was trying to explain this feeling to anyone else they would look at me in a very odd way. But on here perhaps someone will see my point? I will definitely continue with Google Keep.. but maybe keep a small Excel spreadsheet with prices paid - that I won't look at much. I do understand that in 10 or 20 years it will be good to get an idea of the market changes and have a reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway - here is a look a Google Keep record (I deleted the seller and the price) but if you need to know it was $12. It looks pretty nice!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]787503[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
