			On Sunday, I had seen a golf card on eBay that I thought I owned, but couldn't find in my house.  I didn't want to bid if I already owned one, but didn't want to miss out on a seldomly-listed card. I spent TWO HOURS ripping apart desk drawers and eventually uncovered the card I was looking for! I probably spent three hours the next night putting it all back together, as it was nice to take a look at all the cards as I re-assembled the drawers. |

			Absolutely dissheveled, that's the best way to describe my system. I have a current file on my computer listing all graded cards alphabetically according to set and grades, and a knowledge of the ungraded sets I have in sheets, but if I want to lay my hands on an E98 Lajoie 50 with green background, I am clueless as to whether or not it is in the safe deposit box or one (which one?) of the safes. This is probably why I occasionally buy a card which is a duplicate, even a graded one, and have to turn around and sell it.  One of these days after retirement, I promise myself, I am going to go through all my cards and get it together. I am at 4 safes and holding but I have already warned my wife that I am getting ready to buy safe #5.   Last edited by tbob; 06-02-2010 at 12:04 PM. |

|  stuff every where 
			
			I have stuff every where but I do have a system!!  I have a word doc with each card in my personal collection categorized by the ACC # and then the year. For my stuff for sale I have a spreadsheet with my buy price and where I bought it....and if I sell it the same info goes next to it.  Other than that I have several piles of stuff I need to go through that aren't categorized anywhere  .

			All organized by checklist, and stored away in graded card boxes with the checklist of what I have in the box and what I need to fill the rest.  All cards are recieved and then scanned and then stored(If its a T205 or valuable)  the rest get stacked up and wait for the dust to arrive.   |

			I am fairly new to collecting vintage cards! I started a 1954 Bowman mid-range set back in February, it has been fun to slowly put together as I am doing it on a budgt. All of the bigger stars I am getting in SGC 40. That aside my main collection is Topps sets, which are in 900 count boxes, then housed in card houses, all of the excess are in a few two row boxes and about a dozen monster boxes.  After this weekend, I should be down to half of my excess as I have been slowly turning the excess into funds for my 54 set!
