Put this in the category of “ who could possibly care” but I finally got my sets put in binders.
I think I was shooting for 20 sets when we last discussed, but I had so many cards in boxes, that would have short changed my effort.
So I acquired some more big binders and a couple more boxes of 9 pockets and went to work recently.

I’ve slotted another 9 partial sets. Yup 29 sets.
My dupes Box is down to maybe 300 cards of 1st series commons.
When I say dupes , it means I have already put the first 29 sets in the books.

Sets 1 and 2 share a binder, slotted 1-263, then repeated.
Sets 3,4,5 are slotted 3 players per page, see the picture above. That’s a neat orientation.
Sets 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 are in the infamous full page per player order.
Sets 15, 16, 17 go back to the 3 player orientation. I like the way that looks so I did it for the 3rd time on sets 18, 19, 20.
Then this week I went for another instance of 9 per page, arriving at the 29 set mark.

Now, before you think I am crazy (too late) , I only have 16 full sets . I need quite a few Bradshaw, Namath and Mean Joe Greene cards. I easily have 40 of commons like Jim Butler and Rick Redman. So I am actively collecting 20 sets, those last 9 are bonus

I warned you that few would care LOL
