How Do You Organize Cards?

Since I have started collecting I have always wondered what the best way to organize cards are. I organize them by type then pokedex number in a binder. Im curious how everyone else does it.

I sort by release date, Base, Jungle, Fossil, etc etc

Pokédex > set/number > language

Don’t use this to organize your cards. To put in a new Bulbasaur takes weeks :wink:

I sort them in my psa case by date. Though the first row is all the good stuff.

My binders are complicated… i will have to show photos one day…

Generally: Set release dates

But if there are parallel versions of the card, they are side by side.

I.E my jungle binder is left to right across 2 side by side ultra pro pages: Clefable 1st edition holo, clefable unlimited holo, clefable error holo, clefable 1st edition rare, clefable unlimited rare - then Electrode etc

and it goes left to right across two whole ultra pro pages.

So if you imagine these are two ultra pro pages, side by side:

Page 1 Page 2
1,2,3, 4,5,6
7,8,9, 10,11,12
13,14,15, 16,17,18

Some sets, have Japanese mixed with them, and others are diagonally presented… >.<

Base set language sets are, 2 pages side by side of alakazam in all languages, 2 pages of blastoise in all languages. 2 pages of clefairy etc.

Cards that are not used in decks go into Mega Lucario Box from Japan. Rare cards go to 60card binder. Other cards are sorted by types of cards: pkmn, trainer, energy
Pkmn>type>dex>set (holo first)
Trainer>language>type>alphabetically (Japanese cards in random)
Energy by types, all special energy in decks

By set.

The majority of cards in my collection are graded. Those I sort by language and type. So, I have one box for Japanese cards and one box for English, and Japanese full arts would go in a different place in the box than Japanese old ex cards, if that makes sense.

I sort my complete sets by age (earlier sets come first) and by card number obviously.

Set age, then card number for sets, for my psa cards I just have them in stacks of 10s 9s and 8s side by side, I really need something to put them in.

I sort mine in stacks of 250 cards each held together with multiple rubber bands.

Then you seal the toploaders with tape right, this comment is not a trap for Gary.

I just kind of throw them in a box:

Kidding, kidding. I organize my Gyarados collection by Least Favorite, to Most Favorite
