Nothing better than flipping through a binder full of 1987 Topps or 1993 Stadium Club, etc. <br /><br />I really, really, REALLY want to be a binder guy when it comes to my player collections, but my OCD tendencies halt me just when I'm ready to take the plunge.<br /><br />I think your post is inspiring me to write about my binder hangups...Mark Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742272751796497047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-91473189749317235592012-09-19T05:55:02.191-05:002012-09-19T05:55:02.191-05:00Hey Nick!

It's my new favorite!<br /> I'm an Aussie, and it looks like I am exactly the same type of collector you are : gotta have our 'zero-year' cards, and 'sunset' cards! Like your post about the 83 Donruss Julio Franco, I love to get cards of players in each uniform they played in (where possible). I've somehow built up a hefty collection of 116103 baseball cards, and I keep them in 5000-card boxes, or the factory set boxes they came in.<br /><br /> I keep my collection sorted in a few ways : By team (players in alphabetical order), by sets (in numerical order) or by player (every card in alphabetical order). Changing from one sorting method to another can take over 6 months, but it's all fun and it keeps me busy when I'm free! Great Blog, mate, and believe me, I'm another one enjoying the OCD that comes with collecting baseball cards.<br /><br /> Nick Jbeefmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846881597043194968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-57572329741159597082012-09-18T23:48:10.005-05:002012-09-18T23:48:10.005-05:00When i first came back to the hobby i threw just a...When i first came back to the hobby i threw just about every card i thought was cool almost randomly in my shiny new binders. Looking back it was an absolute mess.<br /><br />Time and experience in the hobby has changed all that and while my binders arent refined to the staus of OCD they are pretty darn close. I have the constant problem of running out of pages and they dont come cheap as i have to get the ultra pros from the internet.<br /><br />I love your posts like this on how your collection comes together...i know you dont reveal all your secrets but ive learned quite a lot from you over the months.(has it really only been months? feels like years, wonderful years!Zaydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10323242690817594227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-80568146776084296402012-09-18T21:44:24.191-05:002012-09-18T21:44:24.191-05:00Count me as a binder guy, too.

I too enjoy the leafing through the pages of a binder with a specific group of cards as I add to it. My cards get ranked into each different binder according to a pecking order I have established over the years. BA Bennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150345904848914238noreply@blogger.com
