How do you organize your cards?

Like the title says, How do you organize your cards?

Most people I know seem not to care much, organizing most of the time by Type. I did this myself when I started collecting in the late 90's. Others, like myself, organize their cards by number.

So, let the community know what you do. Maybe some good idea's haven't been used much.

 

[memyselforwho]

Well hopefully some of you nice people will help me determine what is rare and sell able and what isn't, so thats how I'll organize mine.

 

[the bitter end.]

First by type, then by set, then alphabetically. Yeah that's pretty much how I organize everything.

 

[icycatelf]

Umm... in the order I get them. Except my book capable of holding up to 100 cards, where I keep my cooloer holo rares organized by type & HP.

Wow, I feel dumb now saying that organizing by Type is "not caring".:nervous:

I like your way actually. Doesn't it get a little confusing sometimes though? Wouldn't you have to move around your entire binder every time you got a new card to fit it in?

Expansion>Number at the bottom right

So in my 9 pocket pages in my binder it goes 1/80 then 2/80 then 3/80 etc.

I thought everyone did it like that?

First by type, then by set, then by evolution chain.

I do it something like that. Except I go a step further and divide them by Class. Holo's, Rare's, Uncommon's, Common's, Energies, Promo's. Also Gym's, Gym Leaders and Unown get a different division. Also those theme decks with the pokemon sillouette's get them and the cards are divided into two sections. Old (Base-Neo) and new (Expedition-Current).

Yes, that is exactly what happens. Every time a new card comes, I have to move around most of the bounder. I've still got 8 cards I really can't be bothered putting in, so they're in a spare page at the back. Sometimes I leave gaps in anticipation.

So I go Class, Type, Set, Number. Sadly, because Serebii don't keep up with modern cards, I can't tell the latter sets which go first (as I only got into post-Neo cards this year) so I just geuss (usually the year helps)

 

[transcender]

Types. That is, fire/electric/trainer/supporter/stadium/etc

I don't both organizing my EX series cards though. Don't use them, nothing worth selling.

 

[Emerald Yoshi]

I always sort them by Rarity. Rares first, since it'll be quicker to trade and find my cards :)

 

[Stronkadonk]

Voted other, because I don't have them all sorted, other than the holos which I keep in a binder.

Try this to help with your newer sets.

I usually do it by series. When I was younger I did it by type. I like doing it by number, but when you get a new one that you didn't have before you have reorganize your entire thing (unless you leave blank spaces)

Thanks...Now I have to reorganize the entire thing, it's all outta whack.

Glad I could help. I just discovered PokeBeach myself.

First by type, then by set, then by evolution chain.

I take that back. My cards are scattered everywhere. I just wish I could change my pole entry.

 

[Tentacruel13]

My 1000's of DP cards are organized by Type. But Holo cards come first.

 

[Caelus]

I organize them randomly. Sometimes I may organize them by type or hp but most of the time there in no particular order.

 

[Pokemon Trainer Mikko]

I separate them by booster series, and type. I then leave them in their boosters, as I only cut open the top.

 

[shadowmightyena]

i organise em into type so if u are making a particular type deck it makes it alot easier.
