My personal collection of instructions has far surpassed my organization system,
so I was wondering how others keep their instructions.

Any tips or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

I keep mine stacked neatly in acid-free flat cardboard storage boxes. Those can
be a bit pricey so I only keep ones from the best sets and let the rest go. The
boxes are labelled and I have a Brickstore file for inventory and locations.
I tried hanging file folders once and it was a disaster. Same thing with binders.
The instructions always curved or became damaged. Flat is the only way to go.
I admit to being a digital convert when it comes to building sets so I am
keeping less and less.

It might not apply as this is how I do it do ones I have for sale, but I store
them in a filing cabinet with a variety of folder colors
