I never understood that part of The Raven... Isn't it saying Nevermore because Lenore isn't coming back?

To tell you the truth, I have no idea. I use that because one of my favorite pro wreslters Raven from Extreme Championship Wresting, used to end all his promos with that line. So while most think of Edgar Allen Poe, I think of ECW. LOL
Poe was a trip to read!! The Telltale Heart is awesome!!
Well that took a sharp turn..... back to Beckett..... I think I'm missing it the most for the Organize. With all the sets and mini-sets I have going it's nice to see if I already have a certain card I think I need.
I have 99% of my collection locked behind the organize feature on their website. BV is so far down the list of things I need. I have stacks of new acquisitions to add and next to nothing been able to remove due to downtime.
Makes me rethink moving everything to tcdb even though I prefer beckett organize for best checklists

I couldnt imagine the time needed to make that transition. I debated that as well.
I'm in the process of doing just that. Going to take a hot minute though.
Does anyone use Excel for organization? That’s the only way I know how to keep up with stuff I have, what I need, and what I have to trade……I’m like Jesus, SAVE, SAVE,, and SAVE again…..
I use word documents... Do you have a template for the Excel or are you building your own database?
Oh yeah. I'd be lost without it. I'm pretty OCD about being organized. Here is an example of what it looks like. The empty column is BV which I can't pull currently.

I like Excel for the filter function and easy to post into this site. Usually Name, Common card name, year, set, #, type, SN?, BV, Bv Date, Location, Team, Notes

The red would be something I need........The descriptions I get from Beckett, just cut out the extraneous crap...........
Probably somewhere around 30k. I dread having to convert.
I think my initial plan will be to convert my smaller parts of my pc (non baseball) to TCDB and stop buying multi sport OPG. And stick to baseball on organize. Baby steps lol
Did Beckett allow for any export from the Organize database? I’d try that if the ”new” Beckett still allows. For a large database set it’d probably be worth learning how to deal with .csv files, or whatever, if you’re not up on it.
How much does TCDB cost to use? I've heard people mention it a few times now but know nothing about it.
TCDB is free to use. There is an option to pay a small fee for an ad free version, but I do not do that. I have my entire collection listed there. It does take time, but once you have it entered, it is very easy to track everything.
Do they have checklists where you can help identify cards like Beckett? That's been one of the most frustrating parts of not being able to use Beckett OPG of late. I'm less worried about BV and more worried about the type of Insert/Parallel the card is.
Dragonslayer mentioned thissite and it looked pretty good for parallel/insert id, but sometimes I need a picture to be sure:
I use this site to ID cards https://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/Main_Page
I use TCDB exclusively to identify cards and get set checklists. You can do it by sport, player, team, year whatever. Plus most cards are pictured which helps when you are trying to ID oddball cards. For identifying cards it is the best thing I've ever used in my half century plus of collecting.
