For 61 and 62 I organize them like the lower row, for the other years I organize them like the top row. The backs line up better that way in pages.

I wonder why Topps flip flopped them for those years?

Along that note, how do people organize cards in binders that are in the 8 sleeve pages? On horizontal oriented sets (55, 56) I go left to right in groups of two. In vertical sets (52, 53, 54) I turn the binder sideways and do left to right in groups of four.

I keep my cards in card boxes, not binders. I line them up where all the card numbers are in the same corner -- I figure that's how the manufacturer meant it to be -- so that when I'm searching by number I can find it easily.

I arrange them by height--hey, it makes sense if you get the cards from Mastro

Always, without distinction, I arrange them like the top row. It is the only acceptable way to do it.

I prefer the top row in the OP too.

However, if you are a stickler and you want to orient your cards per set by their orientation on the production sheets; then:

1957 top row
1958 top
1959 top
1960 all cards horizontal
1961 bottom
1962 bottom
1963 top
1964 top
1965 top
1966 top
1967 top
1968 top
1969 top
1970 top
1971 top
1972 top

Are you a stickler? I am not.

Curt-- your post has likely stirred up feelings of paranoia among the OCD types on the board, which may involve the majority of us.

No, no. Fishing poles have nothing to do with it. You have to observe how they eat their corn on the cob. Do they do it across or around.

I'm in the top half. The only exception is when putting sets together where the back indicates which way is correct for that set.

I always line the backs up, regardless of the front. So, yes, my 1954 set looks all screwed up, but at least the backs line up.

I also line my backs up so I can read the cards in order. So, my #1 is to the left of #2, which means it is backwards on the front. Yeah, I am backwards...

Someone needs to talk to the guy who holds the spinning rod upside down so the reel is on top. I hope the state doesn't renew his fishing license next year.

I'm sure that's how collectors do it in Israel.
