How To Sort, Organize and Display Your Cards

[@AstroBackyard]

Really enjoyed this, T-Pot! Thank you

[@bran7134]

The best thing I ever did to display my HOF cards is two things. I bought: 1) Ringless top loader binders 18:29 2) Wall display boxes Everything else is broken down into: Auto boxes by sport Numbered by sport Non numbered, nono auto by sport Commons - give away. That's it. Nice Barry Sanders (THE GOAT) on your wall, by the way. Him and Jerry Rice are my pc. I have lots of cards from each but not a single auto or numbered auto of either. Hoping I can at least afford to buy one numbered auto of each to display one day.

[@nepiajapan4461]

Thanks for the great video. How do you protect the card from UV?

[@tomchang732]

Love the office/man cave!! I need to get me some acrylic shelves and command strips!! Also, would love to see a future video on your collection...especially your Drummond PC 😮

[@OracleXCollectibles]

Looking at your collection and seen lions and you talked about piston!! Told my husband you must be a Michigander like us! Thanks for the info

[@MarketMovers]

Yes - Michigander originally! Born in Traverse City...grew up in Grand Rapids area.

Love this kind of content, very useful! I have a similar intake process when I receive slabs in the mail. Firstly I have a spreadsheet where I catalogue all of my PC cards. After cataloguing the card I always take it out of whatever sleeve the seller sold me the card in, wipe any smudges or fingerprints off the slab itself, then sleeve it up in a brand-new graded card sleeve and file it away in its corresponding storage box.

[@royalraven747]

Excellent advice. Having an intake system makes it more enjoyable to work with new cards. I also recommend not keeping them stacked loose and too high or near the edge of the desk to prevent the inevitable mistake/damage. I also spend a bit of time updating a database on intake, which has turned into my own price guide. I constantly sort/search this information to make better decisions on future purchases.

[@kevincrews5875]

My arm is raised on all those spaces, desk, floor and 2 rooms with cards. Anything from vintage to modern.

[@rickauclair705]

I have some old wall displays with scratched holders. That Scratchup is a great tip!

[@carll964]

I use several of the sports card wall display frames, they hold 20 raw cards each and can be found at your local hobby or craft store. I also use foam boards and cork boards to display raw cards in pro mold mini snap holders or one-touch holders using 3M removable mounting squares to attach to the boards.

[@CollectorsWorldFargo]

Awesome video, perfect time to put out an organization video as the new year approaches. Love the displays, visually stunning. Organization is My most difficult thing to do, and I appreciate you taking the time to put this video together.

[@MarketMovers]

A lot of us struggle with the organizational aspect. Glad it was helpful!

[@forpetesake20]

you've been teasing us on spitballing for a while with the sneaky peaks, its cool to finally take a walk through

[@FLIPSportsCards]

What an insightful video…thank you! What do you do with like $1 bin cards. Do you topload them or just penny sleeve and file away with other raw cards of like HOFers and base RCs and parallels/inserts? I always have a hard time organizing these as I like to rip and it eventually takes up too much space even when throwing out mostly all base cards.

[@cjparker8624]

God bless your wife. Nice video!

[@sfosoxfan]

This was all fantastic, thank you for the behind the scenes, much appreciated. I do think I would need something a little more substantial for the walls. I use specific earthquake hooks for artwork around my house, I'll have to research options for card displays as well. It's a reality here. Finally, at 13:30, T-Pott doing the lord's work tellin' y'all to use Painter's Tape. A-MEN ... preach! If people would stop using scotch tape on top loaders, the world would be a better place.

[@cartermonroe5154]

Great vid man!

[@jokerkiddjay990]

Great information. Thanks for confirming I'm on the right track. 👍😎👍

[@frayfrayLII]

Do you worry about sun damage on those displayed cards near the window?

[@t-pott4504]

I know some people do, especially with autos. And autos can and will definitely fade over time. I'm monitoring it, but the one touches are rated for like 98% UV protection for 5 years. I also don't have any direct sunlight really coming through the window. The angles are tough with the way my house is situated, so it's mostly indirect coming through.

[@frayfrayLII]

@ thanks for the reply mate! Do you have any autos on display? I’m always worried (being from australia and how sunny it is basically all year round)

[@grizzzlebees]

This was a nice video , thank you

[@kililefotu9647]

Holy moly T-Pott you got a lot of cards

[@MarketMovers]

Not as many as I used to...haha. Slowly chipping away and letting things go that don't make the cut on the shelves!

[@ryanbauer8317]

Thank you so much for this..i got so many great ideas....i rip too much wax, but i have some ideas based on this. I mostly do baseball and its sortrd by team. I like.yhr intake system

[@ClearAutumnFestival]

this is what ive been looking for

[@12thandgrantcollectibles]

Can we discuss the High Voltage /500, Ultra Stars Gold and Essential Credentials displayed on your wall?!

[@MarketMovers]

😎

[@creed5]

*raises hand* i feel attacked that my slabs are stacked on my desk

[@nate1111-b4u]

[@chrfin78]

Mr. Pot, thanks, inspiring. What is your take on rubber bands instead of painters tape. I do not like painters tape, I have found in the South Florida heat it gets sticky like masking tape and leaves residue on the top loaders when I receive them. I ship a lot on eBay and use thin rubber bands, one or two, on the far left and right edge of the top loaders. I go penny sleeve, top loader, rubber band or two depending on thickness and then team bag, lastly card guard with another rubber band. I don't like to pinch the middle with the rubber band so I stick to the side and been receiving positive feedback thus far. Its an easier removal and the top loader is still pristine after removing the rubber band. So what do you think? Again, thank you for your time and inspiration.

[@MarketMovers]

Rubber bands are definitely an option! just NEVER scotch tape! :)

[@GreatCambino]

Any concerns about discoloration due to the sunlight?

[@t-pott4504]

[@captaincopter2387]

I’ve experienced an indirect UV issue with a poster over a period of years.

[@bfootballcards]

I don’t like just keeping my cards out like than cause if it gets stolen the people will know this is the valuable stuff

[@DJJtorcher]

I wanna know about that Ronald Acuna Jr. frame with the slab in it. Is there somebody that makes those?

[@MarketMovers]

I wish I could remember who gave that to me... :/

[@jamesrobinson3349]

Hey brother how do I find the acreclic shelfs? What do I type in? And did you drill those in or just use the command strips? God bless you, Jesus loves you, James

[@MarketMovers]

hey there just go to Amazon and type in "acrylic shelf" and you will see lots of options. And I used command strips.

[@ABSabio]

What do you use to display your slabs on the wall like that?

[@MarketMovers]

Just type into Amazon "acrylic shelves" :)

[@forpetesake20]

please dont use quarter round to trim that cabinet to the wall, lol. i see you removed the baseboard to get it up tight and thats a smart move. scribe mold is the way to go to cover that gap and it looks top notch. just use some base white cabinet toe kick to get the base to the wall so the baseboard has a place to dead end when its time to put back. its already looking nice just need those last final touches.

[@MarketMovers]

Appreciate the tips! I'll keep those in mind for the next project!

[@CaptShriver]

If it's junk wax era I just take out the Hall of famers and throw the rest of the commons away. I just came to that conclusion about a month ago. No point in taking up space

[@JonathanBentz]

I started doing this earlier this year.

[@MarketMovers]

Yep it's kind of a crumby feeling, but...it needs to be done.

[@crazykev6491]

I did that while we’re all at home in 2020-21. What a ride down memory lane. Sent some off to PSA for grading and kept ones that meant something, like the 88 Topps baseball set, the first I put together as a kid. Should have seen the trash can afterwards though.

[@JonathanBentz]

@MarketMovers I guess technically not all of my keepers are HOFers... that Bo Jackson "Future Stars" is one heckuva card to keep after pulling it out of a junk box.

[@TheLegendofBrettMorrison]

Yes Yes Tell Every keep doing that... eventually the ones I keep will become rare 😂😂😂😂

[@GFTCNJ]

My whole garage is just stacks and stacks of cards 😭

[@jamesjazz3395]

You ever think about selling them to get something you actually want to look at.

[@CaptShriver]

Well I could think of a whole lot worse problems to have😂

[@GFTCNJ]

@ I give most of them away but they just keep on coming.

[@PeaceToAll-sl1db]

too much dusting for the wall ones for me lol

[@briansamuel5846]

You take the card... And put it in the sleeve

[@MarketMovers]

Truly haha

[@Pug-Daddy]

You need to tell Geoff you need a raise to buy a bigger house.

[@brockman562]

personally...I would never have my cards on shelves. reason is because ANY light in 2-3 years will fade/dis-color cards. light is a no-no.

[@MarketMovers]

I know some people do, especially with autos. And autos can and will definitely fade over time. I'm monitoring it, but the one touches are rated for like 98% UV protection for 5 years. I also don't have any direct sunlight really coming through the window. The angles are tough with the way my house is situated, so it's mostly indirect coming through. I also plan to install some blinds over the window soon. Thanks for watching!

[@forpetesake20]

just a personal opinion but id have liked to seen you spend maybe another half hour or so talking about those tins, lol. mostly the one on the left

[@kennymorelandiii9406]

Within the first 12 minutes you're talking about penthouse and anal. You better be careful that youtube doesn't demonetize ya haha Lame joke aside as someone with a giant mess in a corner of the house with a ton of bulk and cards with some Value this video is super helpful to help give me some ideas on how to clean it up because the wife wants it organized haha

[@MarketMovers]

happy wife, happy life!

[@stephenmcconnell4302]

🤚

[@Piotr-u8r]

Too much work just keep them in the PSA vault

[@Tapatiio]

I’m curious as to what he meant on 9:05 lol

[@royalraven747]

Assembly required

[@jamesnguyen7069]

wait till you learn about "time is money" and you wont even want to sort/organize stuff
