What Is Good Software For Tracking Collection With Images

I'm personally not aware of an off-the-shelf software solution, but there may be something. The reason I mention Access is that the 2007 and 2010 versions have canned templates that you might want to explore. I was thinking that MS might have a template for uploading employee pictures, etc. and that with some work, you might be able to spin something without too much effort that would do a better job of cataloging and storing pictures.

It might be something I'll explore in the near future. But let's see if the community has an OTS solution that's reasonably priced.

I've used Exact Change before - bought it a few years ago. It's pretty good, and the developer is pretty responsive when emailed with questions. Then I had an issue where the software wouldn't register when I upgraded to Windows 7 and he was great about getting it back up and running. It has a lot of pre-populated images and value lists and you can also add your own and create custom reports.

very nice software, I got several 100 box sets of tv shows I can use that for. That looks better then the coin ones only problem is I was hoping for one with images, and price database already in it.

website was developers name --> Antoine Potten which is antb.be

A price database is a bug, not a feature. It won't be accurate.

I like "Coin Manage". It has preloaded images for many series, and you can very simply add your own photos. It tracks what you are missing from each series, purchase price, source, it can track your sales and profits. In fact, when you are looking at the list of what you are missing from a series, there's a button that takes you to ebay listings for items you need.

Thanks everyone great feedback and information, I think I will get both Ant it works great tried it for movies and wow and coin manage for short term.

After reading this I decided to download and try that movie database program from Ant discussed above. I have to say it's pretty great. Let's you add the pictures in as well. It probably helps that I'm pretty comfortable with computers so was able to sort of customize it just the way I like it.

I know that this is a bit of a dated thread that I'm pulling up, but I use Exact Change and I love it. It is costly, but all of the updates are then free for as long as the company is alive. It lets me pull reports of which coins I'm missing in a series, I can value the collection or individual series by numastic or melt values, and a new love of it is that I have figured out how to add all of my bullion into the program and can track the profit/loss of my entire collection of coins and bullion all in one stop. I love the program and actually started a thread on here a while back about it. I'm hoping to find others that have been using it as you can create your own custom reports and save the report query as a file. So I want to start trading some of the report queries with others. One of my goals is to create a report so that I can run a Dansco 7070 report and have it tell me which coins I have in my 7070 and which coin types I still need. (I'm a bit ahead on that as I haven't bought a 7070 yet, but will be buying on soon.)

In short, I love that program. It comes with tons of canned images and then I can upload my own images. I can even upload receipts for the purchase of my coins to the individual coin. So I can open my Jeff Nickel collection. Click on 1943 P and see the grade, value, purchase price, silver content of the coin, a picture of my coin, and a copy of the receipt from where I originally purchased it. And backing up my collection is a snap.
