Storage/Display PC Methods?
Hey y'all. I have a couple different PC's that I'm trying to figure out how to display. I've read and heard different opinions about certain ways to store/display their cards. So without further adieu, here are the PC's I'm wishing to sort/store/display and my methods so far.
1) Jim Thome PC. I don't know how many base I have (hundreds), but I have 1 auto, some GU/relics, and lots of RCs. - Method: Right now, I have them all in a cardboard box (750 card box I think). I'm thinking about putting all of the base in a binder, while displaying the relics/GU/Autos/RCs on a shelf next to the binder. Thoughts? 2) Topps PC. This is one card from every year Topps has made cards (starts in 1951). - Method: Thinking about putting them in a binder. Is that ok for vintage? Thoughts? 3) HoF PC. I love collecting HoF base. - Method: I'd like to put all of these cards in a binder with alphabetic dividers, sorted by last name. I'm currently working on getting the last card of each HoF I can. I think I'll include those in the binder? Obviously, when I get to the point of acquiring 1952 Mantles and such, those will stay out, as I'll get them slabbed. Thoughts? Obviously, binders are my main method. Right now everything is in cardboard boxes. Let me know all of your thoughts, methods, etc.! P.S. If this isn't the proper thread, please move or delete. Couldn't find a thread for this stuff. |
I have gone back and forth on storage methods (binders vs. toploaders) for years for my PC. I have finally landed (hopefully) on keeping my sets in binders. My player collections are in penny sleeves/toploaders in super vault boxes.
I enjoy looking at my cards so the main thing for me is to find a method that provides protection while allowing me to look at them easily. This is the primary reason I moved my sets too binders. They are too cumbersome in toploaders. The player collections are easier to manage in sleeves/toploaders. |

Now say I get a cabinet with multiple shelves to display cards. For example, with my Thome PC, would you put the Thome base in binders while displaying the higher end cards? Or would you keep the Thome base in penny sleeves/top loaders stored in a box? |

Good luck on your decision. Lots of members have posted their displays here in various threads. Be sure to share. |

The horizontal binder idea vs. vertical is a good tip I didn't think about. |

I have a lot of things on display in my office, and the ones I worry about fading on I merely made color copies of and put them in a frame.
They look just as nice as the actual item |
Agree with VV13, I'd look at threads of what others have done and see what you like. Btw, that Topps idea is really cool.
