While my type collection is Topps only the same issues arise, namely how to keep track of it all. I also use an Excel spreadsheet system-one tab has baseball, another for all other sports and then a third for non-sports. Even with this I have still bought cards where I already have an example and I'm pretty good about updating it.

I have not yet gone to the cloud for storing the spreadsheet but it would be nice to have it accessible anytime.

I would also recommend backing up your list (and your whole hard drive).

Display is not something I have thought about too much as my focus is more on having the type collection as reference material. Still, I do have some pieces I would like to put out but we aren't really set up for it here; maybe in the next house. Mine are stored in a closet in a combination of ways: shelves, drawers, boxes and albums and I note if one is part of a set as I do sell sets off sometimes and need to know if I need a replacement. Two Bobby Sherman cards are in my wife's office LOL.
