Just a small note:

if you intend on using dividers Young Nick (or sleeves for that matter) - and it'll be a pain in the ass if you don't use dividers - then the 660s won't fit base + cornucopia (same for intrigue). 10 cards worth of space won't be enough for 40 odd dividers. Same issue with the 300s.

A second point - as mentioned, I have a wodge of foam at each end. This is because if you fill them right up then getting any of the cards out is actually really difficult - there's nowhere to get your fingers in to get some purchase. With the wodges, I just pull one out easily and so have some space to play with. So that's another size consideration.

Ah, thanks. This will help a lot!  BTW I actually do have several memes up, just didn't know how to post my own

Well, I don't intend on using sleeves and I only need index-card dividers. I know that it's still 650 cards + dividers, but from what I can tell, Dominion cards do seem thinner than your average baseball card. So hopefully that will give me enough space.

Just wandering how you(dubdubdubdub) got a photo to show up on the forum.  I tried copying it from my pics and nothing happened.  Maybe need to have it online first to copy URL?
Thanks guys!

That's right. Just add [ img]image URL[ /img] to your post (without the blanks) and it will show. I got that image from Google Image search, btw.

it seems like the others have got your back. but i would add that you should check out our FAQ if you get a chance. i cover some general forum help and posting tips/tricks in this post.

[aaron0013]

Cool!  I was looking over the FAQ before asking the question, but must have skipped right over that part This is really helpful though, thanks for all your work!

i did beef it up and slightly reformat it hoping to clear things up so it might have been easier to miss before.

Alright, so just to update all because I appreciate your feedback and future visitors might like to know how it turned out: I haven't gotten very far, because I am looking for dividers. I have tried to go through some of BGG's file lists for Dominion and Dark Ages, and that site is too scary for me. The ones posted earlier in the thread were elegant, but also were vertical.

I think the stumpfork Dominion tabs are the way to go. I'm getting cardstock tonight to print them out on. More updates to come later.

Edit: Link included.

I made some color coded header tabs and some carefully photoshopped repeat tabs for the base cards.

I have 660 card boxes, using index cards as dividers. I have everything currently released except Alchemy with sleeves and they fit into only 4 660 boxes with room to spare (although I don't include the randomizers in my boxes so that saves some space). I think it might be possible to get away with only 4 boxes even with Alchemy and Guilds, especially if you don't sleeve them.

I can also confirm this. With my rough estimates, the 660-card box holds closer to 1000 Dominion cards (not including dividers or sleeves). I expect to fit all of the cards in three or four boxes. No guarantees yet, but if you are looking to do what I described in option A, maybe the 400-card boxes would be better. If the same proportions are true, each of those boxes would allow around 600 cards.

I downloaded sumpfork's code for producing tabs and made some modifications of my own; specifically:

 - made some changes and additions to the FAQ text based on rulings Donald X has made on boardgamegeek and dominionstrategy; added other rules from rulebooks (e.g. for Potion, Ruins setup, Shelters setup, etc.)
 - removed the description text and split several cards' FAQ text (Possession, Knights, etc.) -- I figure I don't need the tab to know what the card does since the card already has that text, and I'd rather have the FAQ text in its entirety and more readable instead.
 - add support for drawing Potion symbols in the card text.
 - add support for vertical back offset (which my printer requires to get things to line up)

I'm intending to submit my changes to sumpfork for inclusion, but I'm a little busy right now (although apparently not too busy to be browsing f.ds). If you want a copy of the pdf with these changes, or if you need a tweak or two to get things to line up right, drop me a PM and I'll send you the file.

Also, I strongly recommend printing them double-sided, so that you can make sure your tabs can always alternate left-right. This makes it significantly easier to find the right divider when you want to put cards in/take cards out.

Also also, I didn't post earlier since it sounded like you were set on baseball card boxes, but my storage solution uses one of these boxes: http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm/terms/10684. I put Base set in its own box (because if I'm going to a gamer's house, they'll have Base, and if I'm not going to a gamer's house, I don't want to scare people off with my giant case of cards), and I think that case will fit everything else including Guilds, with dividers.

I like the box, and the reason for keeping Base in its own, but yeah, I explained my reasoning for something not that big. Would love to see your version of those dividers, though. Especially if you can mark where you made changes.

The PDF with all the cards is 1.5M, so can't be posted here (256k limit). Can you use this link at Dropbox?

I think all of the changes/additions I've made are either direct copies from the general rules (Potion, Ruins, Shelters, Colony/Platinum) or they're tagged with "Reference:" to indicate where on the web I saw Donald X making a ruling.

My box with all cards is loaded in the car on the way to the beach for a week so I'll find out how well it holds up.

I bet theory would upload the file here if someone asked nicely.

Update: Everything is pretty awesome so far.

It all fits in four boxes, and I think Guilds will fit, too. Settlers of Catan and Cites & Knights fit pretty well in the 5th box. I will take pictures if anyone is curious.

I would suggest laminating the dividers before cutting them. I didn't, and it's fine so far, but I am unsure about how long the cardstock can last on it's own.

Without sleeving the cards, I can fit a 500-card set (think Intrigue) and a 300-card set (like Prosperity) pretty comfortably with enough room to grab cards. For the last box, the Randomizers fill it up enough to make a good fit.

The dividers from BGG don't have a second set of Basic Cards for Intrigue. So watch out for that.

tl;dr: it's all good in the hood.

Card sleeves collect sand; I suppose it's a static electricity thing, it gets on the inside of the sleeve. We've been careful to wipe off the table before and between games but the sand still collects.

[Morgrim7]

I actually fit every card (+the chips and tiles) in one Dominion box. It wasn't that heavy.

Laminate AFTER cutting and then cut AGAIN. Always. Otherwise it will just peal off.
