As a prewar set collector on a budget, my sets have stalled out over the past couple of years due to the price boom. For the time being I've decided to switch over to Topps sets starting at 1980 and working backwards. I'm about to start putting sets into binders and wanted some input from other set collectors on how you organize your individual binders. I know numerical is easiest, but sorting by teams seems to present much better. And how about non-individual-player cards like League Leaders, World Series, etc? Some of those may be team-specific, but some not.

So for example, I'm about to put 1979 Topps into a binder. In addition to the individual-player cards, there are five subsets:

League Leaders (8 cards, various teams)
Record Breakers (7 cards, various teams)
All-Time Record Holders (8 cards, various teams)
Manager/Team cards (26 cards, team-specific)
B&W 3-player RC cards (26 cards, team-specific)

Of course I could do #1-726, but I'm leaning away from this. My thought is to start with teams in alphabetical order, with the Manager/Team card for each team going at the head of each team section. Then the insert-type sets (League Leaders, Record Breakers, Record Holders) will go last. And I don't know about the B&W 3-player RCs; they're team-specific, but don't fit as well in the team section because they're B&W.

So many options! I know I'm overthinking it...just don't want to get a few sets deep and then change my mind about how I'm organizing everything. Looking forward to hearing your good ideas.
