I can tell you one thing...as you put cards in a binder make sure the last card on each page is divisible by 9... don't want to go 100 cards deep and have to move everyone back one spot! Tip...all numbers that are divisible by 9 add up to 9. Important tip as you input cards. #369....3+6+9=18, 1+8=9. #432...4+3+2=9. #618....6+1+8=15, 1+5=6. UH-OH...you now know card #618 should not be in the last spot of a sheet...haha. Trust me...this math matters...
The math absolutely matters...LOL! It has been a while since I made that mistake, but I have made it. Good point on loose sheets damaging cards. The fun part of this for me is having cards in the pages, seeing the slots to be filled, filling in those slots, and making the visible progress. I will just have to be patient and wait until I have a couple of hundred like you indicated. Thanks!
