How do YOU keep track of your collection?
« on: September 05, 2015, 08:17:47 AM »
Hey guys!

As my collection is growing and growing, i'm looking for a good way to keep track of my Ponies!

Is there perhaps a website? Or do you just keep a list somewhere and how? :)

I'm very curious! I'm getting into the 100+ and I'd love to find a way to keep track to avoid getting doubles~!

I have begun a database for mine now, but generally I have it all in my head. Never had trouble remembering what I have...at least not g1.

Really jealous of that! I'm a big forget-a-lot! I know most of my stuff like my favorites, but some I forget :<

I just have a list on Microsoft Words. What ponies I still need to get on my wishlist, what ponies I own, what sets they're from and the names of the people who created my customs. All of the ones I own have a photo underneath the name and info. I like to keep it simple. I also don't have a lot of ponies at the moment, so it makes it easier to keep track of 32, then it is to keep track of say, 300.  ^.^

I bought a cute G1 TAF pony journal set and painstakingly wrote down every last pony from every generation including variants by order of release. It includes plush, merch, euro exclusives and some nirvanas as well, and I also add G4 releases as they're announced. Then I just go through and cross them out when I get them.

Typing and having a database would be easier I think! But I like my little journal. You may be able to find some kind of checklist template or something that would work well.

I only have a small collection, so remembering what I have is still easy. That said, I do have a Google Sheets document for my pony collection (not just actual pony toys but it has all the other stuff too) in my Google Drive.

I keep it all in my head, though at this point it's easier to recall what I don't have rather than what I do.
G1 Wishlist  It's the final countdown! Looking to purchase the last few G1's for my collection - Watercolor Baby Sea Ponies Foamy, Misty & Surfy - Red Roses - SHS Sweet Sundrop - Springy - Teeny Tiny Snookums (#2)

Same here. I can remember which variants of which ponies I have in what condition just fine, but forget actual important things almost instantly.
Cannot have anything scented in the house, unfortunately. Seeking the unscented, magnetless variant of Thistle Whistle. (And wishing the other Sunny Scent ponies got similar ones, because they're lovely. *sigh*)

There's so many G3's oh my god, I can't even remember my family's birthdays left alone hundreds of items...
I've just gotten back into G4 (why did I sell my old collection...) and am getting into G1. I really need to write down stuff. Some I have but I want in a better condition ect. Bleh, this is gonna be a lot of work

well I go to Klect.com but I also have printed out checklists. I need something for the ever overwhelming G3s. I have to get one of those G3 collectors books. :/

Hmm. Honestly, for me, if I'm forgetting who I own, I'd feel like I had too many.
I remember them all in my head.

I had to create a database for them.  I could remember the ponies, but not necessarily the accessories. 

I have a (slightly older) version that you can download from Google Drive via my signature if it helps :)

So far my collection is still small enough I can remember them all but I do have a spreadsheet I update occasionally.
