Back into collecting again!

Hello,
So far I love what I see in this forum and grateful to be a new member. I have a pretty large football card collection which I'm hoping to finally inventory and build upon.
I started collecting back in 1999 after finding my old early 70's football cards I had from my childhood. Yeah I was one who ran out and bought a magazine to see what
they were worth and next thing I know I'm buying and buying new boxes.
I pretty much binged on buying boxes of cards from 99 through 04. I was more into the excitement of finding the high valued inserts than I was completing sets.
Along came a girlfriend and well... let's say I put buying boxes to the side for a while in 04. I did jump back into it in 07 after we split up and though I don't buy as
many now as I did in 1999 I still love to buy boxes, just not two or three a week!

One thing I could really use some help with is finding a decent app that will allow me to Easily inventory my collection.
I downloaded Beckett's app but I have to say it is not very user friendly and I found after two hours I was ready to dump it. If someone knows of a good app I can use on
my iPhone I would greatly appreciate it.

My favorite team.. Denver Broncos! I spent a great deal of my life in Denver and saw a lot of Elway's games so I'm kind of all in on them. Not that you care about my favorite
college team but that would be the Buckeyes. Long time resident of Columbus going back to the 70's, so they are pretty much the only team I'll spend three hours sitting and
watching on a Saturday.

My favorite card company to collect is SP and SPx! I also started collecting late 60's and early 70's Topps football. I sometimes think I would like to just sell off all my late 90's and
early 2000's cards and just invest in that era. I do have some dating back to the 50's.
I haven't gotten into grading my cards, mostly just because I don't have the extra funds to do so but eventually I would like to have some done.

Looking forward to making some collector friends and jumping back into the game!
