I have been collecting for 56 years and can't imagine sorting my sets any other way. Pre- and post-war, Topps, Bowmans, Ts, Es, Rs, all organized by team except the sets that don't show team affiliations (V100 is the worst for this).

It would solve another issue I have...I love sets that start with the Leader cards of the year, 64, 65, 68, 69....sets like 66 do not, and so on. Organizing by team could allow me to sort the Leaders up front...hmm...got me thinking! Lol...

Ha! Acutally I remember doing that as a kid...when I went to visit my best friend who moved to another town, he had all of his 1972 Topps Cards arranged by teams in alphabetical order in a large flat tray....I liked that so much I had it displayed like that for awhile...then went to back to 1-660 in 1973...

I organize all my sets alphabetically so I can find a plater fast.[/I]

What about mixed star cards, like 1962 Manager's Dream ?

Was just thinking about that while reading the thread: All-Star cards, multiple-player rookie cards, multiple-player league leaders, etc.
