Is there any plans on the product road map for a basic csv export of collection data? It would give me tools to do some ROI calculations on my collection and figure out what I’d like to put up for sale.

I’m sure there are longer term plans, if so is there a roadmap for features that subscribers can vote on or review?

Thanks to all.

Thanks for the pointer KDS, however it looks like there is only a xlsx version you can export. That export looks nice, the formatting just makes its useless if you're trying to do any sort of meaningful analysis of your collection. It looks great if you want to print it out for taking it out hunting so to speak, for data I need I'd spend more time reformatting it since it splits out per publisher and the by tabs by Alphabet and the layout makes any sort of sorting impossible. To make an export actually useful outside of just having a printed list, it would nice to have the option of data exported with columns like (Title, Issue #, publisher, price paid, current value), this is would be very useful for those of us that need it for sorting and figure out what I can let go and tracking changes over time, etc. It give me actual tools to work with my data how I'd like to rather than have a formatted version of it.

I have to say someone did have to put in some effort to have the data presented the way it exports now (see attached png), what I'm hoping to see in the future if possible is to "dumb that down" and give users/subscribers a more basic output to work with so we can work our own magic on the data.

Thanks again,

You can do an .csv export by publisher - see the subject under "How to Use CPG" under the top menu item "About" . This will send you to the YouTube videos - they are pretty good.


I do wish you could simply export the entire collection or export by "box". Both would be useful. Subject has been suggested - any import/export poses coding and information security issues - so not a simple task.
