This last practice made me go to having a binder for each year rather than a binder by company like I used to have.AdamEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107347958456472504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666606577315632870.post-2704232191174868052011-01-17T05:15:45.462-08:002011-01-17T05:15:45.462-08:00Ahh, organization.

I&#...Ahh, organization. The never ending process.<br /><br />I've adopted this tactic:<br /><br />All of the sets that I explicitly collect (e.g. the ones that I go after every year and try to get team sets or master sets of) go in Binders.<br /><br />Other sets, including oddball sets, go in chronological order into a large box (1600ct.?). Many of these cards have come to me as the result of trades or random shipments or who knows what else.<br /><br />It so happens that I will complete some of these lesser sets without really trying, or will get really close and only have a few cards to top them off. In these instances I will put the team set into a team bag, and stick it back in its appropriate place in the box.<br /><br />It's not a perfect system, but there is only so much room for cards in Binders, so I prefer to save that space for cards I really care about an not, say, 1991 Fleer. Meanwhile, it allows me to keep track of all of my other cards and easily access specific years and sets without too much trouble.<br /><br />Of course, my organization style is always changing, so take it for what its worth.Grand Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658028013441039898noreply@blogger.com
