My mini collections - current storage setups

My last post was about trying to herd my mini-collections together - after typing up an essay, I don't want to skip forwards towards an entirely different topic.

I want to share a snapshot of how cards are put away for my awesome action collections - which something I kind of made up to make me feel smarter as the main mini-collection themes I focus on.

In an ideal collecting world, maybe I can display my awesome action cards in plastic pages and binders to flip through on a whim - admittedly I tend to hoard more and collect less, where a priority is having a collection of themed bulk cards, without feeling like they are all over the place [at least for my mini-collections].

Awesome action – Actual on field action

Batting / Baserunning / Celebrations / Good job / Confrontations / Curtain Calls / Fielding – 3,200 count box

Batting – Row 1
Baserunning – Row 1 – A–G, Row 2 – H-Z
Celebrations – Row 3
Good job – Row 3
Confrontations – Row 3
Curtain calls – Row 3
Fielding 1B – Row 3
Fielding 2B – Row 4
Fielding 3B – Row 4
Fielding SS – Row 4

I had the following collections in loose boxes I've tried to make use of as card boxes - I am not above reusing shoeboxes, blaster boxes and other miscellaneous boxes, but it's probably the case where I want my themed cards in a catch-all storage setup.

I ended up buying another 3,200 count box - to see if I can jam everything together and still have space for more adds.

Making the throws – Target branded shoebox

Awesome action – Actual on field action – Pitching – Card Saver I box

Dirt fetish – a Costco / Kirkland ice cream bars box

Fun cards – a Costco / Kirkland ice cream bars box

Game face cards – a Costco / Kirkland ice cream bars box with my fun cards

Personality shots – Target branded shoebox

If all my themed cards don't fit into one 3,200 count box and the space ends up too tight - I may keep one or more collections as is, where anything goes as long as I have an idea where certain collections are.
