I would like to know other collectors opinions about how do you prefer to keep and browse you PC cards images on albums and forums.

I'm specifically talking about see them on albums like Flickr and to share on forums like this, not on apps like IG as there you can upload more than one image on each individual publication and just swipe right to see the back if you want.

So assuming are PC cards that you like to have front and back, what would be nicer:

Front and back separated each on an individual image, as the front is usually the main part of the card and then you can share only the front on the forums if you prefer sometimes, easy to see on mobiles but more images to browse (and sometimes the back is the same on parallels, so duplicates)

Front and back on same image, allows to see the whole card at a glance and fast to browse all the album, but you are forced to share front and back each time you share them on forums, wider images (less adaptable on mobiles), some position issues (a card with front vertical and back horizontal...) and an edit work is required to join both photos

It's not a crucial "issue", but it might be nice to read other opinions.

Yes that may be the general opinion to only upload the front, but I'm asking because I would like to have front and back scanned on the album, just for some PC cards.

If had to choose, then 2nd option. On the same page

I show the front and back of each card when it comes to my PC cards.

Option 2, hands down. It's more work up front, but well worth it once all is said and done.

Separate images for me. I like how PSA registry does it with their digital card book thing (https://www.psacard.com/psasetregistry/basketball/player-sets/kevin-garnett-master-set/album/230055).

When I used to have an actual website (aka non flickr or photobucket) I had it set up where when you put the mouse cursor over the front image of the card it would show the back. When you took the cursor off it would show the front again. I would definitely so Option #2 tho.

I’d say option 2.
I scan the backs only when they have important info, like jersey numbered or 1/1
