My friend has about 12,000+ Derek Jeter cards. He is fairly organized as all of his graded cards are organized by year in individual boxes, and all of his raw cards are in large 5000 Ct boxes (without the dividers). Each box is a specific product (i.e. Topps, Fleer, etc) top loaded and rubber banded by year.
Last year he purchased a high end Jeter card for $600 on ebay only to find out he already had the card. So I downloaded a Jeter Checklist from Beckett and together we cataloged them into Excel. He was a newbie to excel but he got the hang of it as I worked with him on it.
Then he was able to easily see if he had the card. It has also helped him see where he has heavy duplication and sold/traded the duplication to acquire cards he didn't have.
