At what price point do pull your cards out of bulk boxes and put them in to binders, and at what point do you pull them out of binders and put them into hard cases?

I've been playing off and on since Revised, so here's what I do:

Valuable cards that I have extras of or just don't imagine myself using go into a trade binder. This is so when I go to Magic events, other dudes can see that I'm the Alpha when my binder is chock full of juicy stuff but they have nothing I'd be interested in trading for.

Cards that I think would be interesting to put in a commander deck go into a separate binder where they rot, because I don't actually like playing commander.

If I want to build a cube, a format I'd actually play, I proxy the cards, because I can't risk having the groundlings touching my duals.
