need some advice about my bucket

[adamslogik]

Any advice you guys can give me would be great, it doesn't seem to be working as it is.

How could I better organize it to make it easier for people to navigate?

I just got rid of the "Come strong" section, because I've been running into too many occasions where people seem ONLY to be looking in that folder, as if nothing in any of the other folders is worth while (which was definitely not the case, this folder was just some of my favourite cards).

I've had it happen to me a few times in the past week, that I've inquired about a card, only to have a PM sent to me within less than 10 minutes to say I didn't have anything they needed. Now, I have over 1000 cards in my bucket, so I doubt anyone is actually receiving my PM, reading it, checking my bucket and replying to me within 10 minutes.

I've also had people tell me I didn't have anything, only to see me post later on about one of the cards from my bucket and then tell me they need it (a card that would have been in my bucket when I originally asked them to check it)

So all I can assume is that maybe my bucket is not organized enough, or is too tough to navigate, so people just aren't checking it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Organize the bucket alphabetically as most are looking for certain players, or at least by team.
If I hit a bucket and the first three photos are in no order, i stop looking.

The folders are all organized alphabetically by player and all pics have titles.

Any other suggestions?

Don't put 9 cards per block. I can never tell what the players names are or even the issue at times.

A 9 block card scan does not show the card off nearly enough.

I get that.

I really don't do that much, all of the folders are single cards, the blocks are just stuff that I haven't had time to sort yet.

Is that the problem, I guess I'll have to put those into another folder rather than have them right on the main page, since from the feedback I'm getting so far, it seems like no one makes it past the main page to even check the folders on the right.

I can definitely fix that.

I'm just starting to put a photobucket together, but my suggestion would be to make use of the 'tags' feature. I am including tags for every card - player name, team, year of card, attribute of the card, etc. In my mind, this is the best way to go. A person can simply click on a player name and see every card you have of that player, etc.

With all that said, it would take a lot of time to do this for over 1000 cards.

Sort by TYPE of card: Autos/Memorabilia/auto-memorabilia/rookies etc. Then tag each one by team so the team or player collector can click your tag and search that way if needed.
