I have spent the last week breaking and sorting vending boxes of 1992 and 1993 Topps.After I had them sorted I began to pull a set for each year.I went card by card taking the nicest example for my set.I now have the 2 nicest sets of worthless cards.

Anyway please tell me some of you are as OCD as I am.

I spend a lot of my time organizing my cards and entering information on them on spread sheets into the computer.
PLUS, the only difference was I put my worthless sets of 1992 & 93 together in 1992 & 93 :lol:

Good I am not the only one.I still have my sets from the time of original issue but for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to put together a nicer set via vending.

I hear you. I have over 250k cards and I have every single one logged into an excel spreadsheet (well the commons are just totaled by set - not listed individually) along with the Beckett value. I have been doing this since the late '80's (started with Lotus 123 and 5 1/4 floppy disks).

And yes, I realize Beckett values are worthless but it helps for insurance purposes. God forbid anything ever happens to my collection, at least I will get reimbursed at high Beckett.

You're not the only one.

My wife developed an access program for inputting stuff which I import to google docs for easy sorting so I can find what I want from my collection. I have almost 5000 cards in the above spreadsheet and I need to keep going with a ton more. It's a lot of work.

Not that much as I would have pulled the Manny and Jeter and chucked the rest.

That was the whole reason I bought the vending boxes in the first place.The plan changed somewhere though.

I am currently working on penny sleeving and toploading (the cards that are worth toploading of course) app. 20,000 cards. After all are protected I plan on sorting them in monster boxes by last name and making them available to Player Collectors.

Also, scanning the front and back of all my Bagwell's...

I scare myself sometimes.

We're all normal here...it's our shared insanity over men in baseball uniforms printed on cardboard. :)

The other problem I have is that I'm always thinking of ONE more way I can organize better......and each of those ideas end up taking hours ::facepalm::

If you run out of stuff to do, you can come over and scan my collection. :lol:

I loathe scanning.

Not 20,000 but I recently took all of my McGwire cards out of binders and put them in penny sleeves and toploaders.

I thought about doing this with my Brett Hull collection. Already have it done with my McGee's. Do you put a label on the toploader back as to variations or parallels or anything?

No I don't have labels on the toploaders. I plan on putting in dividers to separate each year though.
