Yeah I agree with jacobystealshome - everyone uses OPG/ORG differently but this change makes my life A LOT harder. I have roughly 600,000 cards I'm still cataloging, I try to add 1000 a night, some nights 5000. This slows me down significantly.

I use collections extensively, combined with tags. I don't duplicate entries (may have a few in my ORG duplicated from early testing/tweaking how I wanted to do things that I haven't found since I changed my mind). My philosophy is a card may exist in multiple boxes so it will have multiple tags. I view my ORG with the tags shown.

I use 5000 count boxes to store most everything. Each row in a box is a collection of mine so that I can quickly find and pull things for trades, sales, etc.

I use top loaders for cards with book values over a certain mark, and have these in BCW shoeboxes, with each of these shoeboxes being a collection.

I use one touch loaders for mem cards and have these in BCW shoeboxes as well, with each being a collection.

Then I have my PC guys, with all of their cards in their own collection.

I currently have 309 collections and will have another 400 or so by the time I'm done cataloging my current inventory, not to mention new acquisitions.

Yes, I'm a little anal retentive about things lol

One thing to note, IMHO, this change wouldn't be so bad if
1. it actually solved the site performance issues which it does not seem to have made any impact on from what I've seen
2. if we got actually useful feedback when adding a card that stated this card already exists in one of your collections and it wasn't added instead of the "this item was added successfully" banner that happens regardless of actual success.

ceocards - can you pass item #2 on to the devs? I'm sure it's been brought up before but as has been said, the change they made without understanding the usability impact is very bad for many of us. If they could at least think about a few ways to improve the usability maybe the change wouldn't be so bad. However, since the change didn't improve performance I think most of us would prefer they undo the change
