Either one is fine, in my opinion -- Trading Card DB can get bogged down at times when entering lots of cards, while Zistle is more like Access (according to my wife who knows these things) and is probably a bit more user friendly. Both allow for reasonably easy downloads of want lists for specific sets, though I'd argue that Trading Card DB actually gives an easier-to-use output without waiting on "exports" as you do on Zistle. <br /><br />Neither is fail safe by any means and both have significant holes -- Zistle has a lot of holes in checklists for older oddball sets, for example. Zistle is easier to update the checklists than is TCDB, for what that's worth. <br /><br />I've tried switching my stuff over to Zistle mainly based on trade possibilities. Nothing's developed from it yet, but not for lack of trying. TCDB doesn't seem to have an active trading group on there.<br /><br />TL;DR: both are fine, just get your cards sorted out. :-)Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-76051360846262864112014-03-05T07:27:35.080-08:002014-03-05T07:27:35.080-08:00I'd love to try this thing they call "Zis...I'd love to try this thing they call "Zistle"... but I'm afraid I'll quit 10 minutes into it. Once upon a time, I try to database my collection on Beckett. I think I listed 5 cards and took a break. Several years later... I'm still on that break and my collection has probably tripled in size since then.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-82269066312819163762014-03-04T07:31:57.880-08:002014-03-04T07:31:57.880-08:00Zistle.

Josh and Ashley, who run it, are open to suggestions to make the site better. Not only open to, they implement those that they can.<br /><br />That being said, I sometimes still use a simple flat file list. Something that I can cross off with a pencil. Then I update my collection at Zistle.Mark Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022715354021247303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-3195945570109714402014-03-03T23:15:34.610-08:002014-03-03T23:15:34.610-08:00I'm all for SOME sort of system.

Who the heck was that?<br /><br />http://www.2x3heroes.com/2014/03/sunday-sil-keeping-it-in-order.html<br /><br />Oh yeah. :) Seriously - I am all in on the Zistle train. I think it's really easy to use. It is daunting at first, and if you are like me, you will be scanning a lot because while sets are added, images can be missing. But get on a roll and then keeping it up to date with recent additions, unless they are HUGE, are simple.

I've kind of started using Zistle, but I have so many cards in so many different places that I haven't had the momentum to sort and track it all. I'm about six months behind on adding all of my comic books to my collection software, too, and all I have to do with those is scan the barcodes on the front with my phone's camera and click a button.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-15113388503795107582014-03-03T17:54:41.879-08:002014-03-03T17:54:41.879-08:00I, too, second or third Zistle.

I tried to roll my own solution a while ago, but it's nice having the crowd-built and maintained checklists, plus pictures. Every now and then you find a card they've miscategorized or forgotten, but you can submit corrections. The only thing I'd change would be the allow more powerful searching criteria.Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885481981559170900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-36125923464952082552014-03-03T16:18:50.094-08:002014-03-03T16:18:50.094-08:00HAHAHA.
