My Card Inventory

Default Collection Tracking Software

I am looking for input from members for some software I am writing. I am currently in the process (VERY early stages) of writing some software for keeping up with ones card collection. Before I get to far into it I would like to get some feedback from some collectors.

1.) Would you even be interested in such a product.
2.) What all features would you want it to support. (Other than the normal stuff, ie keeping up with how many cards you have, what cards you want, ect)
3.) What all informtaion would you want about each card. Some of the stuff currently included are # wanted, # have, notes,
3.) Any other comments you might have that you think might be of use to me.

I would appreciate any comments\questions that you may have.

this kind of software would be awesome. I agree with the card counter, as that is a cool feature to have. Also it would be neat to have it support several collections as in player collections, set needs, etc. I also think it would be nice to have one with a field for the card value and maybe even a calculator program to give the total collection value, or something like that. Not sure that is even possible. Anyway, that is my thoughts, sorry to have gotten a bit carried away lol.

Thanks for the reply. A few quick responses.

It already supports as many collections as you like, each one would be saved to a file so you can have as many as you like.

The value is something that I do want to add, but it wont be an automatic updating value or anything. Basically what I have is a field where the user can input a value and change it as they wish.

Do you mean their "My Collection" or whatever its called? I dont really like that to much, on real options other than adding and removing cards from a collection. Plus it can take forever to get through the sets, at least in my experience.

What are you using to create this program? MS Access? Programming Language?

Sorry I just saw this reply. The program will be an executable file, so you dont need to have microsoft access or any other database type program on your machine. You will simple install it like any other program and use it.

Im getting a little closer to looking for a few beta testers. The program is no where near what I want the final product to be, but I would like to start getting feedback soon so I may let a few people start trying it out.

Thanks
