For the dealers-- do you have a standard "process" for viewing auction lots

Last night, after the kids went to bed, I very diligently grabbed the Heritage NY auction catalog, and the two ANR catalogs, and I plotted my strategy for viewing auction lots at the NY Invitational show next week. Although I was called a nerd and "embarassing" by the better half, I came up with a list of coins that I wanted to view. I listed the lot #'s, the date, mintmark and grade of each coin. I also left room for "notes" that I can take as I am viewing the coins. I was actually going to type up the list before next week (OK, I guess I am a nerd).
My question to the dealers is whether you have a standard "checklist" when you view auction lots. I am guessing you view lots for several clients and it must get hard to keep track of things. If you use a checklist, do you use something similar to what I prepared, or do you just make notes in the auction catalog? Also, do you track the certification numbers as well so you can maybe track when the coin was sold previously? Any thoughts would be apprecaited.
