``` I want to keep track of my small but expanding collection. I can envision the spreadsheet. I don't want to make it. It's not lack of knowledge or laziness. This sport/hobby is my stress relief. I never want it to feel like the screen time job that gave me the stress. Shopping is starting to feel like that. This would ease a lot. Nothing fancy. Main focus is sortable specs. Potential new throw falls where on the list. You get it, I hope. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help. ``` ---

I’ve been slowly working on mine for awhile now. It’s not pretty but it gets the job done. There are two more categories: Price I paid for it, and who I got it from. Excluded those here for obvious reasons. Also not ALL my yoyos are on here, just mostly the ones worth listing. I do consider it necessary to keep track of my ~110 throws. As you can see it is incomplete/not entirely filled out, mostly because I just fill it in when I have free time (also, some of the info straight up isn’t available)… I’d put more work into it but there are a lot more important things I have to do than making sure my yoyo spreadsheet is complete :joy::joy::joy: ![Screen Shot 2022-04-03 at 9.46.19 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/d/2/fd2ec9c91f5cf8cd2d4839ab7fe57f98e303d171.png) ![Screen Shot 2022-04-03 at 9.46.36 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/b/5/8b596f1ecfa2bd1a9f0a9345c3bc37df269fc8cd.png) ---

Airtable is worth a look to try the free version and build out a list and easily upload photos of your own or stock images. Basically it’s just Google sheets with a few improvements they never bothered to implement. Makes it easier to manage and share out specific views (e.g. for sale with pics or just document view). I haven’t used it for throws, but did when I had to manage selling off a couple hundred unique items for my parents to collectors… which made it slightly easier to communicate vs dumping pics and a list. ---

Last year I started a Google Sheet to keep track and count what I have and where I got it. I also like to keep notes and the stories as reminders of the throw’s history. Just because something is rare doesn’t necessarily equate to value, I believe value is more in the story behind them. ---

Does anyone have the mecha-spreadsheet? No pictures, just every throw ever made’s sweet sweet data in an organized, searchable, comparable format. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/5/2/f52725fcbc0a5f4ce9598eab88b1337fd04268c3.jpeg) Y’know, the One Spreadsheet to rule them all.

I, like the others, can only mostly keep up with my collection. I wish there was a comprehensive list or database or wiki. I know that those have been attempted a couple of times, but it requires a critical mass of users to make it work and that hasn’t happened. I usually cobble together my data from the manufacturer’s web site(s), retail web sites, yoyo wiki, and yoyo museum, rounded out with my own measurements to fill in the gaps. An attempt was made: [https://throwdex.com/](https://throwdex.com/) > **[YoYo Wiki](https://yoyo.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page)** > > This wiki offers 'how to' guides, yo-yo reviews, famous yo-yoer biographies, and anyone can add to it!

This will quickly turn to a conversation worthy of another thread, but the Professional Disc Golf Assocation (PDGA) does this for discs. > **[PDGA Approved Disc Golf Discs](https://www.pdga.com/technical-standards/equipment-certification/discs)** > > The PDGA is the professional association for ALL disc golfers and the source for disc golf courses, tournament results, and the official rules of disc golf. Every disc used for competitive play is approved and recorded. Sort by company or disc name, then click on the name to get the disc with its data. Something like this would be nifty for yoyo. Another method/benefit to supporting a governing body. ---
