How Do You Organize Your Pokémon Card Collection?

What’s the best method to sort, store and catalog a large Pokémon card collection? Reddit user HighwayForward shared his system.

BCW Card House labeled with various Pokemon sets

I store all bulk in numerical order in a Card House. Each individual card is sleeved straight out of the pack. Full arts are also put in toploaders and stored in the 2-Row Shoe Box viewed on top, as the rows in that box are wider to accommodate toploaders.

As I open packs, I penny sleeve each card and sort numerically using this tray. Don’t know how I used to do it without the tray to be honest. Such a game changer!

Finally, as I am putting the cards away from the tray into boxes (or binders, as I do have a few for master sets) I catalog everything on my inventory spreadsheet. I use Bulbapedia to copy and paste specific set card numbers and names into a new sheet and then input the rest of the information from there.
