With my last post, I told about my trimming of a big chunk of figures.
Around 1992 or so, I made my own little hand drawn spread sheets (the computer age didn't start for me until 1996!!! :O ), and this method was essentially my roster of figures.
I transferred this information to a pre-made notebook, but not all the information, like where something came from, made it into the new format.
Well, like many things, I didn't keep on writing down what figures I had at all.
So, about 2009-2010, I re-made my original little hand-drawn spread sheet list, and then I went back through all the various lists, scrap-paper notes, receipts, and any other things I had laying around to see if I could get an accurate account of what I had.
With me trimming out figures, it was easy to simply draw a line through what I was sending out the door.
But, even now, after I thought I had a very accurate list of what I had, I still found a few figures that were not listed when I went to cross their listing out!
