Type set tracker... How do you track your type set?

I just put this together, let me know what you think.

I'm curious how you store your type set and how you track your type set. I currently keep mine in 2X2's and I will start tracking with this tracker.

Hopefully I'll be able to keep it updated with pictures for your enjoyment image

Thanks for looking,
Ray

    That list looks familar image

    But, tell me I am looking at. Is this a web-based spreadsheet or something?

    my set is in a Dansco 7070 (cracked out coins go in there, the slab label goes on the inside back cover) and I track it with a simple Excel spreadsheet.
  • Its easy to track. You just look for the empty spots in the 7070. That will tell you what you need.image

    Nice table.

    Here's the one I put together for my type set.

    I tried to make it two-dimensional -- denomination vertically, years horizontally. It didn't come out as pretty as I had imagined it, and I never did get around to prettying it up.

    Bob, I tried looking at that and went crazy. Sending you my psychiatric bills from now on image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I absolutely love the idea of being able to see which types co-existed with each other. That's really image

    No, but you can just send it to me and I will make sure they get it image

    That was the intent -- to be able to look down a column and get a sense of what someone might have in their pocket at any given time in our nation's history.

    But as you can see, it sounded much better in theory that what ended up in the HTML...

    Very interesting idea, I bet with some lines and the date span accross the top that would look great image How do you determine the coins you have though? I bet by color.

    Good bet -- greens I got, reds I don't. You will note for the most part the reds are much more expensive that the greens.

    My master plan was to have each cell link to a page that had pictures of the coin, and perhaps a brief story about it. Regrettably, I'm just way too lazy to do that.

    My type set is a combination of 2x2's, slabs and a Dansco Album. My Dansco 7070 doesn't include holes for a lot of my early type so I just leave them the way I buy them. I don't have any kind of tracking system.
