Binders: what do you do differently/types of binders?

General

Here a picture of my Pokémon collection (minus two additional binders I added after making these pictures in August 2018):

Currently I have the following:

  • 1.5 binder for my regular Pikachu collection, sorted according to my checklist
  • The other 0.5 binder for my Seviper, Mimikyu (stopped collecting Mimikyus, though), Moltres #21 WotC Promo, English & Japanese exclusive FA Supporters, and Yu-Gi-Oh rarity collections, and a few cards featuring Pikachu in their artwork (unlike Seviper I don’t collect cards featuring Pikachu in the artwork - for obvious reasons *ahum* Trophies and Pokémon Illustrator *ahum*, but I still have some regardless). Also all sorted according to their respective checklists.
  • 1 binder for my graded, sealed and very rare cards in toploaders (mostly Pikachu and Moltres) - unsorted mostly, new ones are placed at the back
  • 1 binder for my Pikachu Jumbo cards, also sorted according to my checklist
  • 2 binders for my National Index collection including all forms and Shiny Pokémon, sorted according to this article
  • 1 binder for my non-Pikachu Jumbo cards, unsorted
  • And the remaining 8 binders for my general collection, sorted by National Index, and then individual Pokémon by release year of the set → set nr → language → special stamps → holo variations. After all Pokémon the Trainer cards and Energy cards are sorted similar. Still have to re-organize them after taking out cards for my National Index collection and added loads of new cards, though…

A total of around 6,000-8,000 cards. No idea about the exact amount or which cards I have in my general collection anymore after I lost my collection catalog two years ago after my hard drive broke down… :unamused: I plan on making this catalog again after I’m done re-organizing everything.
As for my duplicated cards:

I have a couple of boxes where the cards are sorted by Pokémon National Index as well, since I’m contacted pretty often by collectors of single Pokémon after making a list, so it’s way easier to sort by Pokémon than by set for my duplicated stack that’s for sale. The cardboard box you see contains some of the rarer duplicated cards, as well as all duplicated Pikachus and sealed cards.

And under the bed are some sealed boxes, blisters, and non-TCG Pokémon merchandise I have yet to sell, like those two Korean Fairy Rise boxes you see in the picture above.

All duplicated card combined are also around 5,000-6,500 cards.
