How We Organized 35,000 Yu-Gi-Oh Cards!

[@Akkuseru]

I've been playing for 3 years now, I'm glad pretty early on I decided to keep a spreadsheet of all my stuff so now everytime I get something, I just need to do a small update. I even have a cell with the total number of cards I have, funny enough, as of now, I'm sitting at 888.

Actually find sorting bulk kinda relaxing sometimes or a good distraction if i'm just not feeling good or i'm bored

[@SonOfSassy]

Hope your paid well that's alot of work. At least you got camera time Viktor nice to meet you dude. Everyone needs a Victor 💪

[@anona3504]

The box method is great fora team. For my personal collection at home im utilizing the spreadsheet to keep track but 2 inch binders with Archtypes on removable labels as more supports get added to the game and certain archtypes mix. Its great for searching engines quickly. I was keeping 6 of each but i keep so few constructed decks that 3 makes more sense since im only lookng to tote 1-2 rogue decks and 1 heavy duty meta deck to tournaments. If its not sorted by archtype i do by relase/year, AGOV and Rarity in same book and in order to simplify.

[@Anonymous-yh4rh]

That's what I did, I did Dark & Light, Earth & Water, Fire & Wind, Spell, Traps in ABC order. And I wrote them all down for the same reason. So I don't have to sit there and look through it to see if I have it or not. But I don't do it by Effect to Normal monster.

[@greglajoie6770]

As someone who is also in the middle of sorting cards. Well done. It is a huge undertaking and I don't have nearly much.

[@lightning2279]

I'm amazed you were able to do all this victor. Team APS needs to promote you. I probably don't even have 10% of the cards you guys do and it's a hassle at times to sort even that amount let alone this.

[@kazwumbo9690]

couldve turned this into a little skit. alex holding a whip while laughing as victor is organizing lol

[@VictorTAnderson]

You're outta pocket lol

[@neogalactic1195]

The way I sort my cards is by set and card number in the set, when you start sorting all cards you have by summoning/card mechanic and type and attribute, it gets way too put of hand quick. When you organize by set, you just look up the set and what cards are in it and boom you go there to find it.

[@ajbXYZcool]

Except aren't some cards reprinted in certain sets? How do you keep track of which printing you have?

[@theother1s220]

⁠@@ajbXYZcoolthis is true, but also isn’t an issue for yugioh collections. All yugioh cards have the set they belong to printed on the card itself, just below the artwork for the card. The set is usually represented by 4 letters, but some sets do contain numbers as well. Examples of sets are DASA, BLMR, SESL, MP21, and DUDE. So reprints are easily distinguishable by looking at the set.

[@ajbXYZcool]

@@theother1s220 OK fair enough! I'm not sure if I like having to look up which sets a card is in if I want to find it within my collection. By the time I know I want to get a card I know what it's appropriate stats are, and I wouldn't want to consider which printings I do/do not have so I could go to the right set binder/box.

[@theother1s220]

@@ajbXYZcool I think that the level and style of organizing highly differs from person to person. Organizing by set doesn't work for me personally, as I would rather organize cards by card name and if it is an extra deck monster, ritual, effect, etc. And separating monsters from spells and traps. I do alphabetize to an extent, mainly to help me know if I own any copies of a specific card I am looking for.

[@jjdbzfan18]

Actually, I know what u mean with "torture" but in a way i enjoy sorting my cards. Knowing im a little step further to my "for-me-optimal-sorted-collection". ;) Maybe you want to separate the things that dont really fit with other random cards like Archetypes that require stuff or that lock summons of other stuff etc... (I have an extra binder just for archetypes like Lightsworn etc etc) I think Victor really fits to you guys! I hope he stays a time... :D

[@kaylawolfie1111]

I'm sorting my cards, I'm sorting my comics. I might use this style system.

[@TensuKawakab]

When I was a kid I had a lot of videos games so my brother and sister helped me organize them similar to this but in one big box. Alphabetized and sorted by console. GC, PS2, Gameboy and PS1. Don't have them anymore, but I have done this before.

[@Bubbstar]

although my entire collection is only about an 8th of this, i sort my cards by card type, monster, spell, trap and extra monster. spells and traps are just sorted A-Z, extra into extra type (syncro, fusion...) then Z-A and monsters are sorted by level then A-Z.

[@mysticstrikeforce5957]

By making random dueling videos and putting decks aside to help organized a bit as that's what i was thinking since they always show how much cards they have. Yha i think this is something people should tell their friends and stuff when the people they know wants to get into trading card game is know what you want to buy and if you want to be a collector be ready to have so many staples of cards just pilled up. Also know if your locals take bundles as some can or make creative decks from them to make the pile shorter.

Did you put even foil cards in that sorting? Like ultra rares or above? What about staples? Do you keep more copies of those? Or keep to the limit?

[@VictorTAnderson]

This is a (very) late reply, but some foil cards get put in the boxes while others get put in special binders/decks. It all depends on how valuable the individual card is.
