Default 4x4 layout

Much better with the Ultra Pro 16!

Follows is my sorting, twelve sleeves. Folded index card in upper-right-hand corner for a label. Another in 3rd row, right-most column for sheets with two types. Stick-on index tabs after the first sheet. I am using “report covers” and not a proper 3-ring binder per se. (But I think that will be fine, since I do not see a need to separate individual sheets from the rest of the set.)
  1. Drivers / Gunners
  2. Sidearms / Gear
  3. Accessories
  4. Upgrades
  5. Structures
  6. Shred Weapons†
  7. Slug Weapons
  8. Fire† / Laser
  9. Melee / Shock / Blast
  10. Turrets
  11. Dropped Weapons (two sheets, since the Foam counters are so big)
†In the DA set, there are 16 Shred weapons. I put the Incendiary Rounds MG in with the Flamethrowers.

Default Re: Uncle Albert's Catalog BINDER (Long Post)

So, I have a full set now, and I can get one player's worth of sleeved cards (including Uncle and mini sets 2 & 4), with dividers in a 1" 3 ring binder using the Ultra-Pro 16-Pocket sheets. (WARNING: The BCW version will not hold sleeved Car Wars cards.)

I've organized mine into broad sections, Weapons, Structure, Upgrades, Driver, Gunner, etc. I don't put duplicate cards in the same slot - I just try to keep them adjacent to each other.

I put cards in a category (except driver and gunner) with different costs on different pages.

General cards, such as the dropped weapons, damage decks, etc. I keep in boxes.

Oops, I forgot I have the UA cards coming. It will be a while, maybe never, before I get the Miniature Sets 2/4.

My sorting is kind of tight, but I like that my binders are only half an inch thick.

Grouping weapon sheets by BP (rather than type) might make more sense.

I used 31 sheets doing it in the style I did. If one wants to compress them more, obviously you can get them on fewer.

So, eight pages each for Shred and Slug?

With my 12 sheets, that includes the dropped weapons ammo loads. What is the “damage deck”?

Since the Ultra Pro comes in a pack of 100, 25 sheets per player might be the way to go.

Damage deck = internal damage deck.

My rule of thumb is that anything shuffled or placed on the mat doesn't go in the card sheets/

I'm not putting damage decks in the construction binders. But, I'm putting at least one of each of the hazards when I can. That lets players have a good reminder of what they do. ( It also fits in my theme of including "Travel Advisories" at the back of the Uncle Albert's Catalog. )

I'll probably put my spare damage decks in sheets at the back of my rules binder as a memory aid.

Very clever idea.

I'm surprised we haven't seen someone create an oversized die with each of the cards (ot the information from the cards) on each of the faces.

Except for the sequence of play cards (which go one-each in the four zip lock bags with the dashboards and dashboard tokens), I had planned to put the others in a 5th ‘neutral’ binder.

I am glad I asked about the damage deck cards. I had not broken the seal on this smallish group of cards … and they were under the couch, soon to be lost for goodness knows how long!

Default Uncle Albert’s Upgrade Pack

I added in the Uncle Alberts Upgrade Pack, 45 more cards per player! Those cards are fun, and not many duplicates.

Follows is my current sorting, sixteen 4⨉4 sleeves.
  1. Drivers
  2. Gunners
  3. Sidearms
  4. Gear
  5. Accessories (1˝ pages)
  6. Upgrades (1˝ pages)
  7. Structures
  8. Shred Weapons (1˝ pages)
  9. Melee / Shock (˝ pages)
  10. Slug Weapons
  11. Blast Weapons
  12. Fire / Laser
  13. Turrets
  14. Dropped Weapons (2 page)
My sorting was kind of tight, and my 3-hole report covers are now pushed to capacity! Still, I think might add two more sheets, so Upgrades starts on its own page, and give Melee/Shock can have their own page.
