I put mine in vintage old 3 ring binders. My 1953 Bowman color & b/w set in a period, black pebble leatherette binder, along with 1953 Bowman color wax wrapper and a Beech Nut Allie Reynolds ad with same color photo as his card. Likewise, my 1962 Topps set in a period 3 ring binder, with a 5 cent wrapper. All 598 cards won't fit, so I put the cards in by league and by team in the order they finished the 1962 season, with the Babe Ruth and Rookie Parade and World Series cards in the middle and the checklists in the back. Only the stars and players I remember or are otherwise rookies or important. The rest of the set I keep in the usual cardboard sleeve box. Both binders look great to me.
