Cataloguing a collection with photos, values, and provenance
Collections group related items so you can see them together. In loggit each piece is an item with photos, purchase price, your current value estimate, condition and provenance notes, and its receipts — and the collection view shows the set as a whole.
The problem
Collections outgrow memory. Once there are eighty pieces, questions like what you paid, when you bought it, where it came from, and where it is stored stop having reliable answers.
The paperwork is also scattered: purchase receipts, authentication or grading documents, and photos live in three different places.
One item per piece
Photograph each piece properly — overall, marks or serials, condition details, and packaging if it matters to value. Record what you paid, when, and from whom in notes.
Assign it to a collection so the set can be browsed and totalled together.
- Watches
- Trading cards
- Sneakers
- Handbags
- Tools
- Electronics
- Memorabilia, records, and books
Values you control
Record purchase value and your own current value estimate. loggit does not connect to price guides, auction databases, or grading services — the estimate is yours, and dating your notes keeps it honest.
Where the pieces physically live
A collection is a grouping, not a place. Each piece still has a location and spot — the safe, the display case, the labeled bin in the closet — so the catalogue also answers where a piece is.
Step-by-step

What loggit does not do
- Values in loggit are records you enter yourself. They are organizational information, not certified appraisals, and loggit does not provide insurance coverage, claims handling, or valuation services.
- There are no built-in price guides, market data feeds, grading integrations, or authentication services.
Frequently asked questions
Can I organize collections? Yes. Collections group related items, and each piece keeps its own photos, values, notes, documents, and storage spot.
Can I track what a collection is worth? You can record purchase values and your own current value estimates and view totals. These are your figures, not market pricing or appraisals.
Does loggit look up market prices? No. There is no price-guide or auction-data integration.
Can I keep authentication or grading documents with a piece? Yes, as documents attached to that item's record.
