Canadian Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I want to know what you think is the best way to organize your yugioh card collections, and how you store all your cards? Right now, I use shoeboxes for the random commons (stacked by set), and put the relevent ones from those sets (useful archetype cards, or random things like skill drain) in seperate stacks. I also keep all my rares in collector tins that I have aquired, as well as put the relevent ones in their own tins as well. I keep all my foils in collector tins, and any relevent ones are usually in my trade binder(s). Same thing goes for the rares. Any foils I do not wish to trade are just kept with my foil collection. How does everyone else do it? Is there a better way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Put Good holos in a trade binder, in Decks or in a big box that stores stuff that you're not trading but will need at some point, bad holos ina binder for bad holos, good commons in a deck box or 15 and bad commons in piles on your bedside cabinet/the bin.

Aerion Brightflame Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Decks are kept in a drawer, everything else goes where ever I have room. I don't have enough time to sort them out lovingly. Or I do, i just don't feel the need to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wave_Sine Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Keep all commons/Normal Rares/foils that are old enough for me to not care about (Curse of Dragon, Legacy Warrior) in my myriad tins, and all other foils in my LC1 binder, along with nonfoils that were intriguing (Rabbidragon, Interplanetarypurplythorny Dragon, Exodia's 6th piece, the full set of Meklord Army monsters I pulled from the same pack, etc). Most of my decks are sleeved and bound with rubber bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Someday I hope to have a folder full of foil banned cards but atm it's just 2 pages in my trades D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I keep all my useful/relevant commons and rares in a deck box just in case people need them. Same for Archetype stuff, they reside in a deckbox. The rest of my commons are put in a shoebox, organized by set and in order, and the shoebox resides under my bed. Many of my holos are put in my trade binder, mainly organized by rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I used to have an old crayonbox full of cards back from first gen. Now, I have no idea where I put it last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Trade Binders: By Price Otherwise: By what it came in I store them all in the ridiculous amount of tins that I've bought over the years. As well as 7 Legendary Collection 2 binders (note that I did not buy all of those, I just ended up collecting some) and a third, much larger binder.

BehindTheMask Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 My card shop has card board boxes that fit up to 1k of cards for like $1. All my good commons and such go in there...my "stock" basically.. My trades go in a binder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I put 3 if each card (in order of sets) common/rare into a binder, anything more and it goes into a tin. All my holographic cards go into a separate binder though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Berserker- Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 LC02 binder has all my holos that are not in decks (up to 3 copies of each) plus some related cards (my 3rd Raiza is just Rare, for example). Hidden Arsenal holos are just 1 copy per card. Rest of holos, rares, some important commons and most recent pulls fit in Number 10 tin. Deck, Side and Extra go in the most recent mini tin (the one that contains The Shining). Rest of commons go in my RDA, Majestic Stardust and Dracoequiste tin, except for like 150 commons that will move to the Number 10 tin once I get the Heliopolis tin and move my rares there. Also, what's the best way to organize commons in tins when the most important part is fitting as many of them as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People LOVE jank Ulti's. [/quote] Especially because you can over-value any of them based on the fact that they're hard to find. I had a Monster binder before, but I just sold it for $25 and I'm just going off a LC02 binder for now until I get something better. I've got tons of white boxes in the closet full of commons and stuff, and my rares are kept in a plastic case, along with the holos that I don't think I can get much out of.
