There is a lot of talk about organizing collections and reading through them I got a bright idea...
Scan the page and label accordingly. now I have a virtual collection as well and know where to find things now! So thank you all for the great ideas!

What software did you use to superimpose the numbers? I like this method of inventory.

ILS, looks great and I also would like to know how you did the numbers. Only problem I can see is how you add to it without throwing everything out of wack and redoing it all. For example, what happens when you add a #112 to your collection? And you will eventually!

Not sure what you mean by "bombing" ?

Rod hasn't seen this yet -- he's been pushing the Digital Collection for years. All you have to do is search for ACDSee and you'll find his posts.

I hardly think it bombed ILS. You should give it more than two hours.
I was at stamp club the other night looking over a few items a member was selling (bought 3, going to return 1), using my 'bible', a 1974 Harris catalogue to check what I had (it's what I use to keep track of my collection) when a gentleman asked me why I had the book. He was astounded when I told him this was my tracking system, complete with recently taped spine.



He was astounded. Don't you have a computer? And proceeded to tell me about spread sheets etc. My response was that I work on the computer most of the day and one of the reasons I love this hobby is because it is, or can be low tech.
Having said that, I think your scans are great (how do you keep your vario pages so clean?) and the numbering is excellent too. Maybe someday I'll scan everything, but I'm enjoying tactile analogue quality of stamp collecting at this point.

Tactile with tongs, of course!

Is that Picasa from Google that you can download for free?

Nice work by the way. Always good to have things so you can see what you have.
