Website to display your collection?
What website do you use to display and organize your collection?
What are some of the pros and cons of the site you use? |
I'm extremely pleased with Volusion. Oddly, the web-crawlers aren't picking up my tags, as I'm selling much, much more on ebay, even with overhead added, but I will still keep the Volusion site simply for displaying my collection, or for use when ebay finally f*cks itself to death with it's lack of customer consideration.
Volusion is super-simple to use, has great support, categories, simple design and a lot of templates to choose from, and I really like the ability to load hi-res images quickly. If you like to design your own pages, it's not a good solution, which is why I also have a Homestead website. Between the two, I feel well-covered for all of my hobby needs. Oh, and 15 minutes can save you hundreds on car insurance. |
imageevent works for me, click the link in my sig line and check it out!

I have had a Yahoo website for about 9 yrs. It works for what I need...and costs about $165 a year...
I should add that the one I use isn't only a repository for pictures and stuff, it's more of a full fledged site with lots of things that I know nothing about. It is also www.luckeycards.com I like having my own website :) |
http://collectorfocus.com/
it is, as they say, the shizzle. (not a lot of bells n' whistles, but it's simple, effective, and free. It's also intended for card & memorabilia collectors) |

I was using photo bucket, but recently started putting my collection on WhiteWhaleCards.com. Though I don't know what the future of that site is as I am the only one that has recently uploaded stuff and my last uploads were four days ago. :confused:
It really is easy to upload to the site your collection. They went really strong when they first launched by doing a Cobb giveaway and promoting here, but I don't know what happened after that. |
I use image event also. It is very easy for a luddite like me.

So many nice collections. Thanks for sharing Scott, Toronto Jeff, Chuck, Chris & Andy.
Am I correct in saying imagevent costs about $25 per year and collector's focus and flickr are free? Andy, I have the same concern as you do with White Whale. They started out with a bang, but we haven't heard anything else from them lately. Leon, Wow, Wow, Wow! I knew your type card collection was ridiculously extensive, but seeing it all on your website is just insane. |

I'd like to be able to create categories and sub-categories. For example: Main Category 1950s with 10 sub-categories (1950, 1951, 1952...)
It appears this cannot be done with Collector Focus, does ImageEvent or Flickr offer this feature? |
Chris, ImageEvent does give you the ability to create sub-albums.

I use Square Space to host my website. I use Picasa to host all of my scans.

Do any have apps?

For my images I store them at Sports Card Album:
www.sportscardalbum.com My collection is catalogued online on Zistle: www.zistle.com SCA has an app and Zistle is mobile compatible. |
Hi Chris,
I use Collector Focus too (click link in my footer). I previously used Photobucket and put a lot of time into organizing categories (folders) and subcategories, but they did some kind of format change at one point and it totally scrambled all the work I had put in :confused:. I was upset to say the least...:mad: Cheers, Blair |
