How do you keep track of items/tables of interest at shows
There are a handful of shows on my radar coming up over the next 6 months or so including of course, my first national! I’ve been trying to figure out a strategy or process for keeping track of items and tables that catch my interest as I do my first walk-through at a show. At the Pittsburgh Spring show last year I found myself losing track of what aisle I had been in, and what specific table I saw a certain card or item at. This can get especially disorienting if an item happened to sell between the time I first spotted it and when I finished my first walk-through, then I spin myself around in circles trying to figure out where it was.
I guess an obvious strategy is to simply use a note pad to make notes. I’ve thought about using my smartphone to take notes electronically. I’ve also entertained the thought of using a tablet to take notes and track my movements in a spreadsheet.
Does anyone have any tips and suggestions? How do you keep track of yourself and items of interest when you’re at medium/larger shows?
