Floating Balls in Sparkles has been cleaved in half, or maybe two thirds (part 2)

 Here's a couple pages of the Vertical binder in which all cards are of the Portrait orientation. 2/3s of the collection of Action Parallels stayed here but it opened up a lot of slots, especially on pages that were already filled in the old binder.  Here's a couple pages of the Vertical binder in which all cards are of the Portrait orientation. 2/3s of the collection of Action Parallels stayed here but it opened up a lot of slots, especially on pages that were already filled in the old binder.  

Here on the first page, you might not notice that we lost our #1 card, which was a Cal Ripken silver Sig on UD.  I do have at least one Horizontal alternatives on my want list.  I think there is a Chipper Jones Red or Gold foil on Stadium Club from about 10 years back that I'm trying to hunt down without eBay, but if you come across a candidate for #1 that has parallels, please let me know


See, #1 was really actually #10 Archie Bradley the dancing bear Orange Sparkle SN /25 showing thru the empty slot. But it is amazing that there are so many different angle shots of Ozzie's balls floating in mid-air all within the same 2 pages numerically.  


This is a random page a little further into the binder that I think spreads out the shots a little more evenly.


I've got so many cards that many of the numbers have more than one card.  I've been experimenting with doing 2 sets at a time.  Basically, putting dupe numbers in the back slot of the binder page.  


Some pages have only 1 or 2 but many pages are filling up close to full.  I figure I can build two set simultaneously.  to some degree I've been doing this on all the sets, the Trashed, action set going both ways, I've even got a 1996 Metal Universe set that I have been putting the Platinum parallel on the back of each page.  That set was the first I laid out this way and was one of my early experiments with the manipulation of the numbering for my own amusement.
