Anyone found some good solutions to both store and organize upgrade cards?

Emphasis on the organization part in this case. I'm currently storing my upgrade cards in a tall plano brand plastic storage box, alongside other stuff. I recently cut up some extra Boost and Ion reference cards to use as dividers between the various upgrade card types, then alphabetized them.

Getting to the cards is a bit troublesome though and I keep thinking there's got to be another way.

I have seen some people use side-loading card pages. You can fit two upgrade cards in each slot. Probably better if you sleeve the cards too.

Yep, side loading works,

I just use a normal binder with the sheets in place. Iv alphabetised all the cards based on ship, faction and type so it's easy to find the ones I'm after.

I was at a playing X-Wing yesterday and someday there recommended Monster Binders as the cards fit in them snugly and did not slide around at all.

I don't like using standard-sized card sheets for upgrade cards - there's too much empty space if you put a single card in, and if you put two in they tend to slide behind each other. Instead, I bought some business card holder pages. They're a little bit looser than I'd like, but they're cheap, easy to find, and hold sleeved upgrade cards pretty well.

I picked up a .3L Really Useful Box (http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/html/boxdetails.php) at the Hobby Store for about $1.50 with a 40% off coupon thinking it would work out for storing them, and it would have been the perfect solution, if I hadn't sleeved my upgrades because the FFG sleeves being a few MM taller than the cards make the fit not work when laying on the side. Going to try to find a .7L next because the internal dimensions on it seem perfect.

bought the sleeves that FFG makes for all the cards. Then for sorting i went to wally world and bought colored dot stickers that i put on them so that it was easier to tell at a glance what upgrades were what. As far as keeping pilots/ships separated i found that the zip locks that come with the blisters are near perfect for keeping the cards in so i just use those to keep each ships types pilots separate.

Hello all.
I'm curious about how others organize their cards.
Do you break it down by factions, ship size, general? Or just mix all and just separate by droid, weapon type, crewman, etc....?

I'm doing it by keeping my faction, ship size, general upgrades, etc.... seperate. Im using KR cases for storage of the ships, which lets me store ship exclusive upgrades with the ship they belong to. The ones that are general or can be used by any side, I'm splitting up by droid, modifications, missles, torps, etc..alphabetically and storing them in a plano storge box I've had forever.

I have a quick question to those using binders. I use generic card boxes for the pilot & rules cards. If you use the business card holder pages for the upgrades and standard card storage pages for the pilots, isn't a pain getting them in and out? Or do use just leave them in and flip through the pages? And what do you do with the extras?

Thanks for your input!
