[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7547675, member: 105098"]What I did was take a 2nd bucket and just go through them one by one and if there is something I definitely want to keep I stuck it in a 2x2 and labeled it. whether it was out of interest, or one I needed, or needed to research more on. after doing this I finished out the labeling on them. Then i went back to the previous bucket a 2nd time, just to see if I missed something. basically it's just removing the "definitely keeping them" from the pile. then as time permits sort them however you want to.
