Every few months I do what I imagine a lot of you do, and that is organize the piles of cards that have accumulated in whatever area one has that holds accumulated and unsorted cards.
It's generally a pretty easy process for me once I get going on it. I bring my stacks of cards downstairs, pile them on the dining room table, assure the lovely wife that the mess will be gone soon, and I go to work sorting. Most cards go into one of the following places:
- Favorite/Star Player Albums
- Razorback Alum Album
- Northwest Arkansas Naturals Alum Album
- Rangers Album/Commons box
- Sets I'm Building Albums
- Base/Common 5,000 count boxes by brand
- Semi Star Boxes
But sometimes I find a card that I can't seem to find a satisfying place for, like this one:
I don't have enough Hank Greenberg cards to start pages in my Retired/HOF players album. I could put it in my Topps base box, but I think this is a pretty nice SP and I don't want to stick it in a box and forget about it. I also don't want to go to the effort of putting it up on eBay because it might only get a buck or two and that's not worth the trouble. Plus I really like the looks of it, and probably want to keep it.
So right now, it's sitting in a top-loader on top of my scanner waiting for a place to go. First world problems, I know. I'm not asking for a solution, just sharing my woes.

I just started a box of generally cool cards that have no real place. It's mostly cool/unique photography cards, but one that like Greenberg would also fit in there.
Good call. I have the same issues. I like Junior Junkie's idea.
