Today was a long day of Organizing. The good news is that I made it through Baseball and the Minors (which I have separated). The collection has expanded nearly 6 5K ct. boxes. We started with 23 and are at 29 now--which is scary. I still have a 4-row box with cards that go in the 660, 800 and 990 ct. boxes to take care of but that is down the road...
Next is a pain... Literally.
If you live with spinal pain, moving 5k boxes is not fun and I need to rearrange them more to make up for the baseball expansion. They follow an order--Baseball, Minors, Hockey, Football, Basketball, Non-Sport. Multi-Sport is in a smaller box on the racks off to the side as are my Mattingly PC doubles. This order is from the most collected sport to the least and then the non-sport. It makes sense to me and that's all that counts.
With this "order" in mind, that means Hockey is next and there is quite a bit of Hockey to be put away. There are also 4 5k boxes of hockey currently. Football and Basketball both have 3 and Non-Sport has one. Hockey is the biggest expansion threat aside from Baseball. This is always on my mind and is another reason there will be many cards leaving the house this year.
Because doubles... A million cards and such and doubles.
But this is all for tomorrow because it's almost midnight...
Goodnight people.

The older I get, the more I migrate to 2 row boxes instead of 4 or 5 row. In some cases I have left 1 row empty of a 5 row just to take some weight off
