Complete Cardlist - Progress so far

[LAF]

Hey guys,

If you haven't read my other threads, I'm working on a full cardlist of all English sets, plus promo cards. I've done up to Team Rocket chronologically, and I want to know what you think and how it could be improved, before I've done the 60 odd sheets required. That'd be painful.

Also, have a french Geodude that I got in a "100 random cards" eBay auction :D

Cheers!

That looks pretty good so far. Maybe add in a quantity owned/number owned column. I like your work better than what I've done in Access for myself. The only reason I use Access actually is to save myself time on typing up the set name/Pokemon name over and over again for each unique card.

For my collection I've just been putting a quantity in the last column. I guess you could do ticks in there and then a separate quantity but it makes it easier to do trades if you can look up and see that you have two reverse foils, for instance, rather than just 3 of that card which could mean 2 different things.

With the later sets there will be a normal (whether that is plain or foil) and reverse foil column, plus anything extra required (ie I have a plain CoL Groudon, which is essentially a theme deck promo card and not on the official cardlist).

I also think I might add a title page with my email for erratta, and credits to Bulbapedia which is where I have acquired all my information.

Ah, that makes a good bit of sense.

I wish there were more active people on this forum :( Thanks for your feedback mate, but it's always nice to have multiple opinions

Anyway I'll keep going, hopefully have the e-Series done by the end of the week. I've got Thursday off so I can put my head down :)

This is a good idea, I have a similar one I did for a few diamond and pearl sets but got tired of making them. There are SO MANY sets :\ Plus there are a lot of cards that are kind of extraneous from any particular sets, like theme deck-exclusive cards that are either non-holo or have the different foil. The hardest part I found was just deciding where to put all these cards, and my set lists ended up having a lot of cards on them that weren't officially part of the set but were released in the same period of time.

Yeah I'm going to ignore the theme deck cards because that is too much hassle, people can add them in if they like :)
