Any Card Collector software refugees out there

I don't use the software, but your post reminded me of the days when Prodigy was the main online service and AOL was coming into its own with CDs that gave you their software and 30 minutes free of online time.

I'm not sure how the software stores your database, but perhaps you can see if there are files that can be ported into a simple spreadsheet. Then you can use Google Sheets or something similar.

My personal email is a grandfathered prodigy account! I joke it's the oldest active email address in the world, sneaking up on 30 years.

I used the software back in the day, starting with the big floppies that our office manager taught me how to use and then the smaller floppies. This was before I started collecting prewar in earnest, somewhere late 80's I believe, but I had most of my Topps stuff entered. I had never used a computer before (had people for that). Whatever limited computer skills I now possess I owe to the Card Collector software getting me started. I stopped collecting post-war much in about 1992, and the software became less important. I saw a few of the small floppies just a couple of years ago but tossed them in one of my rare office cleanings.

Great memories though– sheepish grin and look of mild embarrassment over how many hours I spent inputting data into that program. Kind of the same look I wear every day since, just variations on the same theme.
