How do you feel about Using a Game Binder to collect games?

Now I just keep them in jewel cases.

Well that's unfortunate. 250 PS1 games wow, I wonder how much that was worth.

A lot. Many were fairly common games, but I had some rarer RPG's like the "Tales of.." games, Suikoden, Jumping Flash 2, and many more. At least I kept my inserts and manuals separate, so I still have those and I can buy games as disc only to replace them.

Organization was pretty easy, I grouped games by genre and series. Now I just go alphabetical.

I would never be able to do that with game discs...but music discs I definitely used a hard case binder.

Has he seen what a high quality neatly organized collection looks like? As for counts nothing beats using Excel/any other spreadsheet program. A few clicks and I can tell a person exactly how many I have of what.
unless he kept all the inserts stored safely and didn't have he space to show it off I would not be impressed. If I was talking to a guy and he said "oh yeah, I collect games too!" then whips out a binder with no saved art, I would have to suppress my urge to call him a pleb and to get on my level. Unless he is under the age of 15, then I would try giving advice. Also if some parents see a huge collection they might want to get rid of it for some reason or another.
In my opinion the only thing worse would be writing your name on the disks with sharpie.

There was a time when I kept my PS1 in a binder to save on space. Thank God I didn't throw my cases out.
