How do you all store your collection?

[Butch1977]

Was wondering what other people's opinions are on the best way to store your collection. Had some of my old Masques block cards warp a little bit in the old 9 pocket binder. Ugh.

Boxes of cards

[MarduArrow]

Boxes, lots of boxes

[Butch1977]

The box thing makes me so nervous... Especially since i'm gettig ready to move to a mote humid climate.

I keep all my rares/higher value/EDH fun stuff in my binder, which has a Boros prerelease sticker on it. All my cards in said binder are sorted by color, set, rarity, and alphabetically. In that order.

I also buy a new pair of combat boots every couple of years and recently made a nice sorting box out of the gigantic box they come in (which happened to be the perfect size for 4 rows of cards!) with more cardboard. So it's kinda like a giant version of a holiday gift box. Also, all the cards in that box are sorted by color, rarity, set, and alphabetically, but the only cards in there are commons and uncommons that aren't currently in standard.

I keep a second box (a normal 1-row box like your LGS might use) in the bottom of my FNM bag (military grade, I might add). It's sorted similarly to the massive shoebox, except it's all stuff from standard.

Before you ask, no I haven't been tested for OCD, but I believe fullheartedly that I have it. Lol.

I use the three rox boxes right now mostly. Trist me I know the ocd thing. All cards including extras of commons and uncommons are sorted by set and in card number order. And every month or two I set down and go thru everything to make sure my Xcel database is exactly correct. Haha

Excel data base? I need to do that.

[Vileo]

Lol so I'm not the only one. xD
Although I don't like sorting by set number. Alphabetically is better in my opinion because you don't have to remember set numbers.

Great way to waste a time if you gotta save some money! Hahah

I don't sort out the core sets, but i have to sort by other sets, then store the block in it's own box. Really wanna upgrade to binders cause i'll be living in the California Bay area (well about an hour) and petrified of moisture damage.

[Vileo]

I sort everything chronologically. Right now it looks like Theros, m14, DGM, GTC, rtr, m13, etc.

That's what i do too. Well except for core sets.i never buy core set packs. Just specific cards I need.

im about 2 hours from the Bay Area, and the moisture isn't to bad, and I'm up in the foothills. If you are in the valley like the Livermore area I think you will alright.

It's a town called Fairfield and Vaccaville. It's around Travis Air Force Base.
