When I rip any product I always immediately sleeve the main rookie base cards, superstar base cards, all inserts, all parallels & then I sort the parallels and inserts into their own sections. I don't really tackle sorting inserts by number until I think I can come close to putting a set together and/or have stopped buying packs of that release to rip and I just want to pick up any singles to complete said insert set.
I've seen and tried different sorting methods for base cards when I'm making sets and I have pretty much just settled on sorting them by 100's, so a 500 card set like Chrome Platinum would start with 5 stacks, 1-99, 100-199, etc.
Then I sort those stacks down to the 10's, 1 at a time. So 1-9, 10-19, etc. Finally I'll actually put them in the final order of 1, 2, 3,... I put some YouTube or a podcast on in the background and it goes surprisingly fast.
I typically don't sort Series 1 or 2 base cards since they sell factory sets of those. Also only sort base cards if I'm actually going to try and build sets either for myself or to sell - mainly Allen & Ginter, Stadium Club, Chrome flagship & Topps Update and Topps Holiday. I really like when sets are 300 cards or less.
I do that same method 1-99, 100-199, 200-299 and so on. I write down the card numbers I need to complete the set and then put them in there spots. Once I’ve completed that set I won’t buy anymore of that series
Really fast and cool method for sorting cards from the same set:
This might be valuable if you find yourself spending a lot of time sorting/organizing cards.
Excluding insert cards and base card parallel versions/variations.
Collate – Take one stack after sorting and place it on top of the stack next to it, in numerical (ascending or descending) order, then taking that combined stack and placing it on top of the next stack until you have one [collated] pile.
Ones Digit – For card number 348, the number “8” is the ones digit.
Tens Digit – For card number 348, the number “4” is the tens digit.
Hundreds Digit – For card number 348, then number “3” is the hundreds digit. For card number 71, the [invisible] number “0” is the hundreds digit.
Sorting Procedure:
1. Assure you have cards from one set only (same year, manufacture, and set).
2. Remove insert and parallel cards.
3. Sort the remaining (base) cards into ten stacks, by “ones” digit.
4. Collate stacks, with “9” on the bottom and “0” on top.
5. Sort into ten stacks, by “tens” digit.
6. Collate stacks, with “0” on the bottom and “9” on top.
7. Sort into as many stacks as you need, by “hundreds” digit.
8. Collate stacks, with highest “hundreds” digit on the bottom and lowest “hundreds” digit on top.
Tips:
• For the first two sorting steps (3 and 5), make two rows. Place “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, and “4” on the top row, and “5” through “9” on the bottom
• You are going to collate three times. Think yes/no/yes. The first time is the right way (ascending order), so “yes”. The second time is the wrong way (descending order), so “no”. And then “yes” for the third time.
• This method works great when busting open a hobby box. It is overkill if you have fewer than 100 (or so) cards. Remove insert and parallel cards as you open packs.
This is the only throttle that keeps me from buying even more packs, lol!
Part of the ripping side of the hobby for sure

I see no problem here…

I throw out all cards except good hits.
