When I set up a binder for a set that has parallels that I intend to finish, I organize each parallel level on its own pages, but I interleave the set pages together. For example, with standard size cards in 9-pocket pages, the first page is cards 1-9 of the lowest print run set, page 2 is cards 1-9 of the next higher print run, and so on to the base cards. Then the next page is cards 10-18 of the lowest print run followed by 10-18 of the next higher, etc, and the pattern repeats to the end of the set. This method makes figuring out which cards I am missing easy. Once the base set is complete I can look at the page for any parallel set and, if it is missing any cards, I can see through the space to the parallel or base version of the same card that I do have and know exactly which card I am missing without having to flip pages or look up a checklist. Then once the set is done I can rearrange the pages to group them by set without moving any cards around. I don't like moving the cards from spot to spot in the pages. Every time I take a card out of its slot and move it to another one just seems like another chance to damage it to me.
