As much as it would be an interesting chase, having a set large enough that you "display" it in a 5000 count box (or two....or three....) doesn't appeal to me - and one set in numerous binders just sounds unwieldy.

I've only recently started expanding my binder storage, but agree that arbitrary set sizes should be chosen such that they are divisible by 9 (18 would allow for even more optimization!)

Maybe the manufacturers were catering to master set builders, so the checklist with all errors/variations included would fit neatly in 9-pocket pages.  Did I just imply the existence of deliberate error cards?

Am I missing something?  Doesn't 792 = 9x88?

Umm.. yeah... Ignore me. I was a liberal arts major. I didn't do so good with numbers. :/

(searches for second or third cup of coffee before posting)

I'm sorry -- I was a math major (and am still a bit of a pedant). ;-)

As a players collector the 9 pocket storge is also an issue.  This is football.

I keep going back and fore on how to put my carfds in 9 pockets.     

5 players with in the sets.   There is a  base set and 5 parrellel sets.   ( 5 sheets one way  6 sheets the other)   Then when you are missing some.  You have blank spots.  The Wild cards with strips are an other example.

Neither of which are divisable by 9 and that hurts my soul.

If counting minor league there is the Classics Game set which is often separated by teams but the card numbers run to 1,000 something. Then there is the Stars or the Pro Cards with who knows how many. Unless those were multi-year, but I thought they were single years sets.
