How do you manage/track and keep a handle on your collection

[markf31]

In my younger days, and days of the baseball card bubble of the Early 1990's I had bought and used the Card Collector software to document my collection and I was a regular subscriber to their quarterly price and data updates as I collected current issues and needed to stay current on all the new sets.

As I have recently revived my interest in the hobby after 20 years and now collect vintage and pre-war cards, I no longer have a need for the Card Collector software and I have been slowly pulling together an excel spreadsheet as my vintage collection has started to grow.

How do you track your collection? How extensive is your database and what kind of information do you track?

Would enjoy hearing your thoughts and ideas!
