Hi Forumini, I’m curious how you fine people keep your cards organized given that different pieces have been reissued and that means that some of them are the same card but with a different set number. For Angels 20 I just keep them in a stack, and my War at Sea cards are sorted by nation then set. For now I have the AAM cards sorted by nation and then number, and if there was a reprint the lowest number is the sorting number.
I keep my cards in a binder sorted by nation, unit type and then the cost. There is a little sticker in the corner of each binder sheet pocket noting how many of each unit are in my collection. I just pull one card from each pocket on game night and leave the rest in the binder. I am less concerned with the collective nature of the game and sort by price making it easier thumbing through the book making builds.

Mine are: Game cards Sleeved Sorted by country & alliance. An Axis box & an Allied box. Divided by type; infantry/support weapons/artillery/vehicles-type/transport/armor-turreted/non-turreted/armored cars/aircraft One card per unit, all game use cards in a clear Plano box, any revised card is printed & in sleeve. All other cards in boxes & stored.
Note - When the revised cards were released I printed one of each card at considerable expense on self-adhesive paper. I cut them out and stuck one example over each card, so that the top unit in each card sleeve is the revised card and cost.

After type: Infantry-Commanders, Heroes, Snipers, Spotters, Engineers, Elite Troops then Regular Infantry Support Weapons- BAR 's, BREN's, Thompsons, Stens, Ppsh, Machine Guns, Light Mortars, Bazookas, PIATs, ATR's Artillery-ATG, AA Guns, Large Mortars, Artillery such as Pack Howitzers, G18, anything towed with Indirect Fire Transports-Jeeps, Trucks, Kubelwagens, Halftracks Armored Cars-also mobile AA vehicles Non-Turreted, this includes Self Propelled Artillery Turreted Aircraft This is for mainly the US,UK,USSR & Germany, countries with lots of different vehicles. For others, basically the same but all together. Italy, Japan & Minor countries are Transports, Armored Cars, Tanks & then Aircraft. Does this help explain my system?
I store mine in 3-ring binders, one Axis and one Allies. I use binder pages that hold 9 cards each. I have them separated by Nation. They are sorted by Cost, High to Low. I only store one of each card in what I call my build books. Only the current card is used for this book. If there is a revised card, I have printed them out on card stock. I use these cards for my games. All other duplicate cards are stored in 3-ring binders, as well - also sorted by Nation and Cost.
My cards are in Ultra Pro sleeves. They are organized in 9 pocket UP binder sleeves. One binder for Axis and one for Allies. I have them organized by units: infantry, support weapons, vehicles. I pull one per unit for a game. This method makes it easy t flip through and see my collection/armies at a glance.
