I only use the date column periodically so that if I accidentally close the window, I can get back to the last place I was without having to re-open 50 images to find my place.

I don't bother with the grade of the card, with the unique label number, I am able to weed out duplicates. Of course, if a card was originally in a T206 or T206 SweetCap holder and it was re-holdered into a factory specific slab, then I think the cert number changes. I expect those are very rare here, especially for the commons. The other benefit of using the cert number is that some of the very old scans available, say, from 2007 or 2008, may be too blurry to see the factory number, but I log the cert, and sometimes that card was re-sold years later, with a better scan, and I am able to identify it, which is oddly satisfying, lol.

I actually like looking at this info just as much as the one's you have been posting. I like the Cert info on each card mostly. I did that with David Hall's collection.
