    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.

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

    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?

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

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