Lazy Man's solution

Greetings Fellow SB Boarders
.
Well, since my nym has been evoked, I reckon I will express an opinion. However, it is not a Lazy Man's solution. It is a Lazy and Poor Man's way of sorting.
.
First off, I'm not rich enough to have a large stock of stock sheets or stock books. So my organizer is a standard-size folding card table. I sort into piles. I try to accumulate associated piles by year and by like issues. I understand this will not work in a high traffic area, especially with children and pets bumping or jumping on the table. But I have been blessed with a stamp room on the second floor of my deluxe custom-built double-wide and my dear bride is allergic to stairs.
.
I attack each pile separately. As a stamp is identified it is placed in it's proper spot in the album or placed into an archival envelope with other duplicates. The identification information is printed, with pencil, on the envelope. Simultaneously, the stamp information is entered into the corresponding album excel spreadsheet or duplicate stamp excel spreadsheet. This minor extra little step saves a tremendous amount of time further down the road.
.
For those newer stamps not found in my latest available catalog, I take the best example and place it in a stock book and hold it until I can get ahold of a catalog in which it can be identified. Duplicates go into an envelope marked for further identification for when that catalog shows up (from the public library).
.
Yup, poor and lazy.

Respectfully,
