Title: Mtg project
Post by: Goblinking on January 03, 2012, 06:28:54 PM
I think I'm doing one of the hardest projects ive had thus far. Sorted all my old cards next step is to go and find all my rares. In 6 months ima do this again with a xbox360 box full of old cards. On the positive side I can identify 4th without thinking.

I organized my entire collection over the holidays.  I have (6) 800 count boxes of extras that are in excess of 4.  It took a couple days of work.

Don't know how you can do it that fast. I think I suffer from add I start sorting them then put the ones aside for deck ideas. Then I have piles of somewhat sorted and something I want to make

I'm just finishing up Odyssey.  Once I'm done that, I will have logged every card I own from Innistrad back to Odyssey block.  36 fatpack boxes, and >17,500 individual cards later....

Logging them wasn't so bad since I've always kept them sorted.  If someone dumped them into a massive pile in the middle of the room, I'd be in a pickle.   T_T

Ha, I've always organized my cards from the very start. I find organizing cards fun unless you get that sweaty hand feeling. I'm a stickler for organization.

The only drawback to organizing is that you missed out on cards that you found that were once junk but now valuable. *cough* {Sensei's Divining Top} in basement *cough*

Ditto!  See, that's why I'm cataloging them now.  Going through my collection has allowed me to price check too, with some unexpected and amazing finds.  I had no idea {Standstill} was worth so much!  Glad I kept a playset!  $$$

I have a small collection, so sorting is never a problem. Not a fan of cataloguing (I don't want to do that much work for minimal benefit).

Also, {Sensei's Divining Top} is $18.
