500+ raw Mark Grace cards in a binder by year because that's one I really enjoy flipping through.
200+ raw Cubs autograph cards that are sitting in Card Saver II's that I can flip through. I generally break the autos out if they're slabbed.
200-ish other raw cards that I've either pulled, want to keep raw for one reason or another, or are "type example" collection cards so I have a reference that I can closely inspect+handle.
228 graded Cubs cards of HOF/greats/notables 1800s-current.
482 graded 1950-2011 HOF/greats/notables...used to be until 2001 for Pujols/Ichiro and around 2015 I decided that I needed to bump that up to 2011 to add Trout...it may change to 2020+ at some point.
I'm not going to count the raw cards which I plan to grade later (about a dozen) or other cards, raw or graded, that I'm planning on selling later and are only technically part of my collection.
Looking around a 60/40 non-graded to graded mix over here and I love all 5 of the main parts of my collection in their own way. All are easily flipped through and all are arranged in some kind of logical order within the specific collection.
