Mine is basically the opposite of yours. I have a few boxes on the floor of the closet, and I have five binders on the closet shelf. The binders divide my cards into groups: Padres / Former Padres / PC Collection / Sets from 1992 (Fleer Ultra Series 1, Pinnacle Series 1, Stadium Club Series 3) / Miscellaneous cards.
ReplyDeleteI have a bookshelf beside my chair in the living room where my binders reside and a filing cabinet in the computer room for some of my loose stuff that is waiting to be bindered...
ReplyDeleteOne day I hope to be the organized. I have a few binders and boxes in my closet. Aside from particular players or cards in top loaders, they are all grouped by decade...yep, decade. I have a long way to go organizing.
ReplyDeleteI have boxes and binders in a bookshelf, right now they are just taking up whatever space my records and cds are not using.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth bedroom of my house was suppose to be where I organized my collection instead it over grow the space and basically it's full of boxes of cards(verying stages of disarray) game used items bookshelves full of signed statues, magazines etc. and a part of my basement with 5,000 boxes on shelves in alphabetical order but that needs updated too! hard to stay on top of it all! lol
ReplyDeletemine is very similar to your setup. I have two bookcases filled with matching binders with most of my sets in them, as well as my newly transferred player collections.
ReplyDeleteIn the closet are monster boxes filled with cards (extras or partial sets, traders etc...)
On the walls are a bunch of framed/matted autographed photos.
Cap, very cool. My monster boxes are in the cabinets under the desk.
DeleteMy baseball card room is really just my bedroom. I have a desk, a bookshelf and my walls for all my Cardinals posters and memorabilia. Oh yeah, I also use my closet just for boxes that I may need to use in the future.
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to pick up matching binders every time I buy more cards and filling them up as I get organized. One or two at a time makes it manageable. My complete sets are in binders. My Sandberg collection and Cubs cards are in boxes waiting to be transferred to binders. My recent trade bait/extras are in boxes as well organized by set for easy retrieval. My older unsorted cards are in monster boxes that live up to their name. Haven't been brave enough to tackle that project yet.
I don't have much wall space with all the bookcases that hold the binders, various pieces of Cubs memorabilia and of course, my books.
One of the goals I gave myself when I re-entered the hobby was to be a lot more organized about it.

ReplyDeleteI don't see SCUD in your graphic novels stack!

btw, I have some Bernie Williams trade bait:

I am still in the process of organizing but I have a small room with 4 home made bookcases, one 4x8 for card binders and some boxes, two 4x6 for my CD's and another 4x6 for DVD's. I also have several monster boxes with cards that need to be filed into binders and such on the floor under my desk. when I say it's getting tight, that's an under statement but it's all the space I have so I gotta make do.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the contest.
I store my cards in a giant library card file cabinet. I'm mostly a player collector, so each player gets a drawer (or two, in the case of my Hochevars). It's a great looking piece of furniture that fits well in our office and it makes it easy for me to thumb through my cards.

ReplyDeleteI have boxes and binders both on top of and on the top shelf of a bookshelf as well. I also use my desk for bobbleheads, etc. and one drawer has my "nice" cards and toploaders, as well as my TTM cards. Another drawer has mailing supplies and some old blaster boxes I don't really know why I'm keeping this long.
ReplyDeleteI think this assessment shows me where I need to organize the most, now :)
I am completely disorganized at the moment... oh but some day... haha... I'm actually in the market for an old library card catalog and then I'm going to go crazy sorting and organizing cards!
ReplyDeleteDude, that's an awesome setup. I've got a pool room that has my 3000/5000 count boxes in it, with autographed balls on the bookshelves below 7 years worth of software engineering and math textbooks, but it's got a lot of "temporarily" stored other stuff from around the house too, so it's not quite the peaceful mancave you've got. I don't really do binders, because years ago the rings on a binder dented some cards and really put me off binders. I'd try it again though if I had a set I really liked flipping through and I thought I could trust the new binder.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a desk explicitly to sort cards that's actually near the cards, I should try that. Using a card on the binder spine to label the sets is pretty cool too.
Wow. I have a large hutch in the corner of the "Library" with my baseball stuff stuffed in. Of course the theme of the library is baseball so I guess I really have the whole room.
ReplyDeleteI also have a shelf in the master bedroom closet with all my binders, and another shelf in one of the girls rooms with more misc binders. I'm a little spread out.
I love your set up, very nice. I wish I had that much dedicated space. I currently have 3 large locking cabinets in my garage that house many of my complete sets and some of my extras. My GU/Auto are all in my fire proof safe along with some of my vintage sets. I have a cabinet in my guest room with boxes of more recent extras/trade bait. My Giants collection and player collections are stored in binders
ReplyDeleteYour man cave is great! Mine...not so much. I have the spare bedroom for my collection/cave. Which I share with many of my sons toys. I do have a very organized region in my small 8x10 room for "my" collection-you know, cards that range in value from .02 to $300 that I wouldn't trade even if I needed the money to pay rent!
ReplyDeleteBy the way dgreen1899, and David Greenstein are indeed the same person...but don't tell, I don't want my secret identity revealed!
Awesome man cave... I guess my office is sort of my man cave, but it's nothing in comparison to yours.
ReplyDeleteI organize my collection a few different ways.
A. My townhouse is pretty limited in size, so I keep a lot of my packaged figures, sets, and player/team PC's at my parent's house or my buddy's garage.
B. However, some of the cards I love to look at on a frequent basis (cheap vintage superstars, 90's inserts, Tony Gwynn PC, Japanese athletes PC, and a few sets from the 80's) are housed in binders for easy access. I keep these binders on a shelf in my office.
C. I also have some of my favorite autographs (The Rock, Jake LaMotta, Rudy Ruettiger, Tony Gwynn, Brett Favre and Devin Setoguchi) hanging up on my office walls.
Don't have the joy of a mancave yet, but one day....
ReplyDeleteI've got some binders with completed sets in a bin; a few binders on a shelf that have various player PCs housed within; three boxes with others parts of my PC (hits of my main collections); and my signed balls, bats, 8x10s, etc. are scattered throughout my room wherever there happens to be room.
It's totally more organized than it sounds.
Great Setup! The Cubs that aren't in my display case hanging on my wall are either in binders (if its a complete team set) separated by manufacturer or in one of two 3000 ct boxes. I have four 5000 ct boxes for all other base cards, one for items that have been / are waiting to be listed as trade bait, and another empty one on standby. In addition to those, I have may too many 300 - 800 ct boxes of random sets.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a cave, sir. Jealousy abounds.
ReplyDeleteMy organizing is a balance of chaos and order, but mostly chaos. I have a small closet where I hide most of my binders: sets, Tigers, player collections, random binder-worthy cards of interest in alphabetical order. Then, a bunch of boxes organized by team or set and year, depending on my weird sense of logic. I also have a few drawers of a dresser in the same room where I stash cards in top-loaders: GU and auto trade bait, vintage Topps and Bowman, and my higher-end player collection cards. Another drawer contains stacks of trade piles I'm working on. And yet another has all of my supplies and such. So, again, a bit of a mess that makes sense to mostly only me, but that seems to be part of the joy of collection: the finding of one's best-functioning pattern of chaos.
Great answers everyone! I am closing this off and bringing the contest to a close.
