CONCRETE: THINK LIKE A MOUNTAIN (1996) #4

Got Comic Books?

You collect a LOT of comic book titles. How do you keep track of them all?

Picture yourself at a comic book shop, convention, flea market or garage sale. You spot an issue of a comic book title that you collect and you wonder, "Do I already have that or not?"

So, you buy it, just to be sure, and you go home only to find that you do indeed already own it...and now you've got to get rid of something you don't need or want.

That use to happen to me too, until I came up with a simple way on paper to keep track of every comic book I owned. It's a special two-sided page that I can make copies of and keep in a three ring binder. One copy for each title I collect.

Every time I buy a new issue of a particular title, I mark it off on it's collector's sheet in my book. Each sheet can keep track of 900 issues, 40 annuals and a few misc. items like pins, buttons or posters.

When I go to where the comic books are, I take my inventory book with me and check those bargains to be sure I really need them.

Problem solved!
