Pokédex > set/number > language

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

lol true but I have a lot of free time

I do it by set too which I don’t really like that much because I find it pretty boring. I just can’t think of a better way to do it that wouldn’t involve having to reshuffle cards around every couple of months. For example in my ideal world I would have every card of every Pokemon and do it by Pokedex number, but new cards come out all the time and I don’t feel like moving 10,000 cards because a new Bulbasaur was printed, etc…

It’s a lot of work but I like it more than just organize them by set.
I store all my new cards over the year and then in the winter months I reshuffle my entire collection. It takes me a lot of days to reshuffle over 20,000 cards.
A lot of work but what I like about it is that I see all my cards again. Otherwise I have a complete set in a binder that I know I have, but never see the cards in years.

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.

By how they taste.

okay well if im going to be completely honest I don’t have all that many cards. Honestly im kind of new to collecting. Once I hae a lot of cards I will probably have to find a new way to organize

Almost every time
Sometimes I see it after a few cards then it’s no big deal, but if I see it after putting in 100+ cards I just let it go and correct it the following year.

When I reshuffle my collection I have 2 piles. 1 pile with new cards and 1 pile with cards I already have in my collection. That way I always double check if I actually have the card, what condition it’s in and if it might be different (code, error, coloring, holo pattern etc).
