Baseball Card Collecting Yields Life Skills

"Collection maintenance. Once I had several hundred cards, I had to keep them in some order so I could find them again. Topps numbered its cards randomly, but numerical order was not a good choice. Why should Bob Anderson of the Tigers be next to Ernie Banks of the Cubs to be followed by Frank Baumann of the White Sox? Random order did not make retrieval of cards easy. I usually kept my cards in team sets." [Ricklibrarian]
