Default Displaying Your Cards

Posted By: James Gallo

Does anyone display your cards and if so how do you go about doing it.

My wife gives me crap about all the cards just siting in boxes, even though I do look through them.

I would love to hear some idea on how people store, present and display their collections.

Looking for 1915 Cracker Jacks and 1909-11 American Caramel E90-1.

Default Displaying Your Cards

Loose leaf type binder. When plastic pages aren't good enuff because of different sized cards being displayed together, or text is necessary, I make art board cutouts for the cards which I encase in sheet mylar before putting 'em into the holes. Then I put these packages into full page plastic pages.

Edited to add:
This is part of why all my stuff gets cracked out.

Photos, bats, and jerseys on the walls
cards are rotated through display in an old china cabinet with glass front, glass shelves...either in top loaders or grading slabs...complete sets are in pages in binders

Looking at Lee's fine display, one nice thing about graded cards is that the visitor can look at the card then read the label to see what is the card. Like at a museum.

My incredibly lousy T206 collection consists of 483 SGC slabs. The slabs are placed in the "graded card resealable sleeves" and placed inside a wooden graded card storage bin from Pennzoni Displays.

Scans of theaforementioned lousy cards are then displayed on my mediocre photobucket.

I bought an old library card catalog. There's 72 drawers that each hold about 150 or so cards.

You do have to lay the cards sideways in a hard holder, and you cannot get graded cards in the drawers unless you just lay them down, but for non graded run of the mill cards, it's a nice way to keep them.
