Have you ever realised that you have too much of anything? I did a couple of days ago when I started sorting my Magic: the Gathering collection again. I have already taken the time previously to sort them all by colour then alphabetically, however there are a lot of cards I will probably never play. Almost six thousand of them. So the time has come to cut back the collection.
Sorting out six thousand cards takes time, and figuring out what I want to keep is hard, so to make it easier on myself I am taking my already sorted cards and organising them by set. What I will probably do then is go through each set and figure out what’s worth keeping from that set. Then I’ll probably sell the rest.
As of writing this, I have just finished sorting the white and blue cards, which leaves all the black, red, green, multicoloured and colourless cards, not counting land cards.
Quite the mountain.
