Very fair! I would posit that for a large collection where you keep every single card you open, and for which you have an online collection tracker such as deckbox.org, using the organising system I mentioned is still the best. There will always be one single place that a card you're looking for would be, and nowhere else.
Well that's why I said it was only good if you have an online collection tracker where you catalog all your cards . I know exactly where all my copies of The Doctor are because I have recorded which versions I have. I can then build my decks online, and once I'm ready to play them I just go to my collection with a list of set and collector numbers and I can pull out exactly what I need
Im lying to myself by telling that im going to keep my collection pretty slim ( unless a copy card comes with awesome artwork, or is a foil ) so cards i like i would keep 4 + 1 foil, everything else is going to change ( because i dont have any target edition i would like to collect ( altho i have most of my cards from commander masters.
I would like to have it organised so i can brainstorm, i thought binders were awesome because i can list through the cards and maybe get an idea, but they are bulky and get filled fast - so i would keep binders for cards i really, really like.
Some unplayable i will keep ( that also depends on if i like the card or not )
