RE: What a mess my collection is!
I currently collect 337 different players (All Hall of Famers + some current and retired stars). I have 49 different players that I have over 500 different cards of. I currently have 268,640 cards in my Organize. Everything is organized.

RE: What a mess my collection is!
I have a team PC
SF Giants 1958-2012
All extra cards are on Beckett or eBay
I organize by player or set or year or all three
The binders are in binder protectors for limiting dust and holding the pages so they do not sag..
And YES..OCD helps a lot for organizing a collection!!!
Good luck with yours..

I use to collect wayyy too many thing but have recently narrowed it down to 2-3 sets or rainbows at a time. Gives you more of a chase feel, saves money, and keeps you organized.

My son pitches for St Joes..so I am in Philly a few times a year!!! Good luck..there is no right or wrong way..I do it so I can find trade cards easy..when you have 40000+ up for trade, organization is a must..

Where do you get binder protectors? Those look like they would be very handy.

Bindertek is the company and they are not very cheap..they are solid, nicely built and precise..and with the investment I have, I figured..go for it..
Got 50 of them..they are around $10-11 a piece in bulk..
Here is a picture of how they work
And they slide right into the place on the shelf that I showed.
I keep my PC cards in there by year, alphabetically by manufacturers..pages are the platinum Ultra Pro..

Thanks. I will have to get a few to try them out. They would certainly help out my binder situation quite a bit.
