I don't have a PC in particular so most of my cards are penny-sleeved and sorted by Sport->Year->Set->Number in ten 3,000 ct boxes. Also have some cards in binders, including a couple for odd-sized cards. '89 Bowman cards are cheap but they look decent on 8-page pockets. I moved some duplicates to binders, that way I can permanently display different cards and it doesn't become predictable. Easier to show off for trades. Don't have graded stuff but I keep toploaded cards in a separate custom cardboard box. Most of my duplicates are in twenty 660-ct boxes. Then a couple of drawers with unopened packs/boxes. Not as organized as I would like but it was way worse a couple of years ago.
Hey Matt. Thanks for the great video on setting up and storing cards to sell etc. It's the best one I've seen and super easy to follow, especially as I'm very early in the setup stage. I very much appreciate it mate. Regards Matt K 🙏
Thank you for a starting point. My dad used to have a card store in Florida. He closed it & just put cards in boxes with no order. I have found some in binders & card boxes but there are 100 of thousand cards loose in boxes. Alot are damaged due to that but what can you do...lol...
What scanner do you use? I only have a basic scanner/printer. I understand that you need a CCD scanner to clearly scan cards that are in slabs or one touches. I don't have a lot of cards where I have to scan through plastic, so I am looking to get something affordable. I am also hoping that it can scan Absolute Glass cards too.
Hi thanks for the video. I have a question…when going through sets, how do you decide what cards to keep and what do you do with the commons? What’s a good benchmark value ie $1 or .50 and up? I’m trying to reduce a collection down to top loaders only. Appreciate your advice.
When I was younger, I loved commons so I'd say either donate them to sport clubs or give them out with your orders. Honestly hard to tell, if it's junk era stuff, I'd give it out and modern stuff (which I like more), I'd sort through what I like.
it used to be what team they are currently on but i found player movements made me constantly reorganise it haha, so now it's what team they are on the card
You know what I do the nice thick card boxes at walmart that holds cards if I see a couple thats empty, I'll just ask the manager if I can have them. There they already have two or three dividers. Most importantly they are free. I'm not paying 15 bucks each for a cardboard box or 40 bucks for plastic ones. They work extremely well and save you a shit ton of money 😂could of spent all that money on something to hold your cards on actual cards to sell
Took your advice on cardboard dividers but printed a paper with all the nfl man cave signs on it cut them out and taped with clear tape dividers came out clean💪🏽
Hey bro, cool channel. Awesome pc and love your organization. So I have sold to a customer in Australia and the shipping from here (United States) to him in Australia was very expensive so I ended up shipping him alot of extras. Anyway, so here were im from I get cards almost daily because it can be very cheap. Whats the hobby like there? Can you find blasters and retail at stores like here? And are there enough collectors there for there to be card shops and shows? Thanks ahead of time if you see this and get a chance to respond 👍
Hi mate, The hobby is huge here! If you go through my other videos, I've done vlogs at card shows and whilst they're nowhere near as big as the USA, we have a huge community over here. We don't get stuff at retail like you guys too much at shops, but our big card shops do so we have to pay a bit more 😬
In terms of look, probably a bottom 3 set for me, don't really like the acetate cards too much. Not sure in terms of value, but if you want a fun rip, go for it!
I tend to follow player movements alot so I just move them accordingly but if I forget and can’t find it, then I can narrow it down to what teams they’ve been at
Love the carton dividers: cheap, practical and can be easily replaced. Also the post-its on the boxes, writing on them with a sharpie always looks ugly no matter how good penmanship you may have. And I hope that Zach Allen auto wasn't damaged by the tumble he took.
@mattscardshop I bet you guys have a Toys R Us, and if so can you get me some Purple Parallel exclusives? 🤑 MLB and NFL preferably. No Kmart nor Toy's R Us in Las Vegas unfortunately 😢
Let me know your thoughts and how you organise your sports cards!

All good! Just a bit annoying that the graded storage box I use is impossible to find atm haha
Ha Ha. That's out of our hands. It's all good. @@mattscardshop
my OCD will be heightened if I use one different box haha@@AussieFanMatt
Yes I agree with that @mattscardshop It would drive me nuts too 😄
my guy haha@@MATTKIBBLEWHITE
Thank u for sharing how u organize your cards. Great content!
all good, thank you!
I can’t seem to find any of the white boxes do you have a website or links. Thanks for sharing the pic was able to find it.
They’re very hard to find here in 🇦🇺 unfortunately
Looks good , more focus on shipping area is needed , i find using end of desk and hanging scizzors , blue tape, any thing that will hang is a help
100% my shipping area is a bloody mess
Perks of working at a box factory I find these every day 😂
omg really hahaha

All good! Honestly if I had a physical card store, I couldn't do what I'm doing now, I'd need a more efficient process haha

epson perfection v39, it isn't great for slabs though like you said, but good for toploaded cards
Thx this is the exact vid I needed
all good!

Where do you get those boxes? Lol they seem so simple but perfect for cards
If you're in USA, they're easy to find. BCW graded card shoe box :)
@@mattscardshop your video helped me a bunch for our first show today. Thank you!
all good! @@GaryColon
Nice video. I like your collection.
Do you organize it by “what team they’re on at that moment” or “what team they were on when the card was made”?
it used to be what team they are currently on but i found player movements made me constantly reorganise it haha, so now it's what team they are on the card
@ makes sense I was wondering for my own collection thanks
@@davidsimmons177 good luck!
Shout out from Seattle on the Sonics shirt. RIP Supersonics.
Thank you! One of my favourite shirts 🔥

would love that, but we don't have a wal mart in Australia haha

hey mate is clearly donruss NFL a good box to get i know its under $200 but i can't remember if you rated it. im thinking of getting a box
In terms of look, probably a bottom 3 set for me, don't really like the acetate cards too much. Not sure in terms of value, but if you want a fun rip, go for it!
What happens when a guy gets traded 6 times? How do you know what team to find his card?
I tend to follow player movements alot so I just move them accordingly but if I forget and can’t find it, then I can narrow it down to what teams they’ve been at
A Korean Aussie?! Noice mate
filo/chinese haha
So your located in Australia?? Really curious how the hobby is in other countries
Yep!
Great video apprentice it. But come on. MLB and tennis in the same box?
hahaha they would get separate boxes if i had more cards of each
The way you say "here" makes the way I say it seem downright lame. Great video!! :)
hahaha thank you

hahaha great point, I should get something printed out for the front
@@mattscardshop
Ohz I meant the post it are a good idea since the box stays clean, I do that too
You need a guillotine paper cutter for your cardboard.
would it work?
@@mattscardshop cuts very think stuff and Mitch MUCH easier than scissors or exacto knife.
@@dankelly thank you!
12:45 WAIT!! 😮
Did you just say ¿KMart?...
Y'all have a Kmart in Australia? 🤔😅 Sweet!
They do exist 😀
Hahaha yes, our biggest retailer i would say here too
@mattscardshop I bet you guys have a Toys R Us, and if so can you get me some Purple Parallel exclusives? 🤑 MLB and NFL preferably.
No Kmart nor Toy's R Us in Las Vegas unfortunately 😢
