Organizing Cards

[creasecollector]

For me, the few booklets I own are stored in a box with a few other graded/slabbed cards. Plus my many base boxes.

PC: Player, then Year-Set-Card Number

Traders: Year-Set-Card Number

Same here with me.

All of my traders are stored in jumbo boxes in the exact same order as I have them on my trade page. Complete with labeled divider cards so I can find the set I'm looking for quicker.

My completed, and partially completed sets are in labelled binders. I have a couple of 3'w X 4'h bookshelves with those on them.

For my PC players it's little intricate. I have them in binders except the actual autos, and game used. I have them in the chronological year to alphabetical set then card # order. I use a piece of paper with the card description of the cards I don't have in hand to fill the spots of the ones I don't have(remove, and replace with actual card when it comes in), and I use a copied front and back image of the auto or GU to fill in the spots of those cards. Sounds excessive, but for me it adds flow, and is properly archived. As for the auto/GU's I have twelve showcases that I built to display them with shelf spacing set to which cards either horizontal or vertical oriented. I think it's a travesty to display my cards inverted. Nothing worse than kinking my head sideways to look at a card. At the moment though these cards are in storage while my life is in purgatory from one instance to another. The place I'm living in doesn't have the "right" spot to set this up, but that will all change in a few years when I finally get to where I want to be, and am able to build a place where I can have what I hope to be the ultimate games room/office!

Chronologically, like exactly how they appear in a big Beckett. How I've always done it haha

my three player PC's are all sorted by year, set, card number with each card in a top loader. My leafs PC all cards are in penny sleeves and I'm attempting to get them all sorted by year, set, card number (have 2 monster boxes to sort) and my traders are also sorted by year, set, card number.
Hope all of the opinions you have heard are helping.
