Fred--the easiest way is to follow the book. Get small binders. Mine are in 2 inch binders. Sort the cards according to the guide, put them in sections like the guide lists them, and toss the dups in a box to bring to the next meeting. HINT--HINT!! Seriously, after they are in piles of Vegas, Reno, Nevada, Colorado (you might need 3 binders for this one, I do) Riverboats, Indians, foreign, etc. Then just follow the guide, and fill in the little boxes. You will soon know what you have and what you are missing. Will we see you and your TRADE BOX in February???????????? Pat
