Most Userfriendly Way To Organiza Photobucket?

Topnotchsy · Jul 30, 2010

I was wondering what people felt was the easiest way to browse photobucket. At one point in time I made my bucket all neat and organized with separate files for prospects, young stars and established stars and then gave players I had large quantities of their own file. Over time I've found that clicking so many links is a pain and have considered just making a couple of files with tons of scans (figuring it is easier and quicker to just scroll down a large page of pics, even if some cards have many copies.)

Thoughts?

How long would it take to transfer a couple hundred pictures?

Assuming the items are all available for trade, do you think breaking it up more makes it easier, or having one long list? Personally the year rarely offers much help for me (as far as breaking things up) since I trade based on player not based on set (not a set collector.)

To be honest, I always thought your Photobucket was a huge pain in the ass.

I'd do it either by player or by category (AU, RC, Refractor, etc).

It is, isn't it. Right now I'm looking at just breaking it up into "RC's" "Game-Used and Auto's" and "Vintage GU and Auto."

I figure there's no real good reason to separate by refractor or the like since if I'm looking for say a David Wright RC Auto I'm considering all parallels. It's pretty easy to scroll a list of 100 pictures, especially if they are alphabetically ordered by player.

Do you have the Photos on your computer?

Install Picasa.
Add Folder
Create New Album

Highlight 50 Photos
Add Tag "Game Used"
Highlight 75 Photos
Add Tag "Autograph"
Highlight 100 Photos
Add Tag "Baseball"
Highlight 26 Photos
Add Tag "Prospects"

That'd probably take you 25 minutes and it pretty much has no downside. Give it a try! The best part is being able to switch photos via drag an drop.

What if you deleted the files on your PC once you uploaded to photobucket?

May try Picasa but meanwhile moved most of my RC's and RC Auto's into one folder (beginning to realize I'm way behind on scanning lol) and separated pretty much everything into 3 general folders. Under baseball I have "GU and auto" "vintage GU and Auto" and of course "RC's."

If you don't mind checking this out and telling me about the ease of use and telling me know, I think it's easier to scroll one or two long lists, and I did put the RC's in alphabetical order.

Here is the main folder with the 3 links on the left:

One of the main factors for me is that almost everything I have is available for trade or for sale, so I think it is best set up as simple as possible. (The couple of sets I've put together are in their own file, but other than that...)

A guy I work with collects comics and showed me this site..

He said it's great for selling/buying..

If some of the programming gurus built something like this for sportscards, I'm sure it would be appreciated.. Then we could load our cards and if we wanted to sell them, we could.. Just thinking of different ideas..

That looks much more comprehensive than what I can do with photobucket (without putting in a to of hours) but it is good to see different ways of doing it.

Hmm, I see your a fan of the fire crotch, but Reba? At least replace her with Christina Hendricks.

All The Hype · Jul 30, 2010

Please just go to options or settings or whatever and select the option to show like 60 images per page instead of 20. So much easier to look through that way when you can just scroll and dont have to click and wait for a new page to load every five seconds.

bozemanbreaker · Jul 30, 2010

hmm, an FCB store would be awesome, except for all the insane BINs.

In my humble opinion, my photobucket is the best ever created in the history of mankind.

Jurgy25 · Jul 30, 2010

I can't stand buckets with so many different tabs and sub folders. Pain in the ass having to click into every folder, when some have just 1 card each.
