Suggested fields

Start with these columns.

Use only the fields that help you make a clearer record.

ItemTextWhat the thing is, specifically enough to tell two similar pieces apart.

OriginTextWhere it came from — the shop, the seller, the person. Provenance is half of a collection.

AcquiredDateWhen it came in. Pairs with Value to show what your collecting actually costs per year.

ValueNumberWhat you paid, or what you would insure it for. Record which of the two you mean.

ConditionDropdownYour own grading, used consistently. Note damage when you log it, not from memory later.

TagsDropdownThe sub-collection it belongs to, so a large collection stays navigable.

ReferenceTextA link to the listing, certificate or catalogue entry.

Date addedDateWhen you recorded it, which is not always when you acquired it.

NotesLong textThe story. Why you wanted it, what you had to do to get it, what you would not repeat.
