What is the best way to organize a large baseball card collection?  By Player, Teams or Set?

I have about 55k cards. All are organized by year, set, & number. Just easier for me to file and find cards.

Mine are organized in player binders for each of the 200+ different players that I collect. All others are stored by set with the players arranged alphabetically within each set.

I have sets of collections for Hall-of-Famers, Retired Super Stars, Retired Stars, Active Stars and Rising Stars.  Each of those sets have multiple binders holding players alphabetically.  I do not arrange a player's cards in any order other than placing all of their rookie cards on the first page.  I began collecting in the 1980's and have several hundred players in my collection with only about 14,000 cards.

Commons are sorted by year. Earlier this year I started grouping by team and trying to sell 2021 team bundles on eBay just to get them out of my way.

I have a lot of cards and the stars are located in boxes by year..refractors by year..

My PC is in binders by year and by manufacturers..cards are in order including parallels. Binders are stored laying horizontal in binder covers to keep some of the dust off. Each binder has a title page with the order of the cards. OCD huh??

Currently small piles on my desk and staggered on top of each other by era, set, or player.

No choice for "totally haphazardly" or "not at all"?

I do alphabetically by last name first letter and store toploads in IKEA drawer system
