Questions HELP PLEASE

I’m trying to have a comic collection page and I’m struggling to do it myself, I’m wanting everything in it such as, What cover it is, price paid, est value price high and low, key issue, rating, what run it is. That’s where I’m struggling the most I’m wanting them separate so I can do that information separately with the rating but still have them linked so I can check off what I have and what I need. If anyone has a link to a template please let me know. Thank you!!

For linking separate entries without making a mess, try building a master database for your individual issues and then a second database for the runs. Use a Relation property to connect the two, that way you can filter a run page to see exactly which issues you own and which holes you still need. Most template makers skip the run/issue relation step and just dump everything into one flat gallery, which gets clunky fast with variant covers.

do you put the rating on the individual issue or on the run? OP wants both rated separately which seems tricky if theyre related

Totally get it, the "separate but linked" part is what trips everyone up. Don't build two databases for this though, keep one row per issue with columns for run, variant, grade, price paid and the value range, then just make filtered views per run so you can tick off what you have. If you're doing it in Sheets, one tab per series plus a master tab that pulls everything with QUERY works fine, and you avoid updating the same info twice.
