You've got hundreds and hundreds of cards in toploaders. You've got booklets and charts. You've got teenie tiny dice. So how do you store and organize all your game material?
I use empty shoeboxes. There must be a better way.

I keep my active feds in the toploaders in photo boxes (shorter than a shoe box, but similar width). I keep my charts and handbooks in mini three ring binders in protective sleeves. I keep my inactive cards for all leagues and autographed LOW/LOTF cards in 3 ring binders in these pages: www.bcwsupplies.com/pro-2-pocket-page-20-ct-pack. |

I keep all my color LOW cards and all my color Indy cards in the 4X6 Ultra Pro top loaders.
For COTG, I have all my Centra 2116 color cards, all my 2087-2090 color cards, and I am about to put all color cards to play 2136 in the 4X6 Ultra Pro top loaders.
From The Container Store, I have these small lightweight plastic containers in which I separate my cards accordingly. For example, the cards I need for my 2090 fed are placed in a separate small lightweight plastic containers, the cards I need for my 2116 Centra fed are placed in a separate small lightweight plastic containers, etc. That way I can easily grab all the cards I need at once when I want to play with them and I can also easily pack one of those small containers to take with me when I travel.
Inside each plastic container I also have a set of dice too (especially useful for traveling- last December I packed my container to start my 2087 color card fed before flying to Portugal but did not include dice. I managed to find some in Portugal but I have learned it is not as easy to find dice in some places compared to Las Vegas.)
One cool thing I like about the new website is I do not need to worry about remembering to pack my charts if I travel as the charts are now available for download on the website.

" I keep my active feds in the toploaders in photo boxes" I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the word "active"  |

Wow, that's all very high tech... my cards are in a plastic tub that's about the right side for 4 stacks of cards... two stacks for LOW, two for GWF and other fictional universes. At the very bottom are the booklets and such. The guys on the top of the pile are the ones I'm currently using. On to of the bucket is the results notebook, charts and dice.

Natureboi There must be a better way ? My wife says "I've got crap everywhere !"
All my feds are in ex-biscuit tin box that we got for say Christmas . All my federation information like title reigns etc is kept in ring binders folders . Yes about 15 I have . Wife keeps saying want another tin ? My head shouts NO but my heart knows the releases are going to keep coming (not that I have a problem with that . Been some great recent releases . Wrestlers I never thought would get released and had given up on) . So overtime my legends feds rosters are going to get too big ? Start another one then thinking kicks in . I vowed Social Media Wrestling would be my last ever legends federation . But I know if AEW , Impact/TNA or even WWF/WWE (Tom's retirement package ?) ever gets released I will buy them . My head knows my heart will talk me around .

I organize my Legends cards by year and by set. I organize my Indy cards by promotion and by year.

One cool thing I like about the new website is I do not need to worry about remembering to pack my charts if I travel as the charts are now available for download on the website. In addition to what I posted above about storing and organizing my cards, there is also my fed's title histories. I used to keep them in a notebook but lost alot of those results for my COTG feds (GWF, CPC, and aCe) during a move 10 years ago. That is one reason why late last year I started playing my Ring of Vega fed beginning in 2087 as the new color sets for that year gave me a reason to go back and keep a new documented history. And that history is secured electronically here on this board in the title history forums for COTG, LOW, and Indy and with just a few clicks of the mouse I then periodically copy and paste those results and save them as word documents on my computer as a backup. For me personally it is just far more effective to keep my results electronically than to try to keep them on paper in a notebook. |
