Best Way to Store Sheets

[Zach Wheat]

What is the best way to store sheets?

Over the years I have acquired a number of full "half" sheets. I prefer to store them flat, but doing so is quite cumbersome. What methods do you guys use?

I have a.stack of error.sheets stacked in the corner of my card room. Have always thought one of those poster displays is stores would be great. When I get home later and not on my phone I will add a link to some I have been considering.

I use artist's portfolio binders to store some of my larger Topps insert or odd items, like the 69 Team posters. They come in all sizes and have multiple pages to hold flat items. Some are huge, but not sure about half sheets. I have framed several sheets for my study

Fold them neatly and place them in the linen closet.

I use bat tubes. They seem to work just fine.

most of mine (half sheet and smaller) fit in a large flat file I had built, but the full sheets go in a giant card savor and then in a large box that is stored on a utility shelf.
Eventually all will get framed or sold.

The winged display part on the top is what I have been looking at. The normal poster size like the one in the link is too small for full sheets. I have found others in the past that make the bigger size needed for a full baseball card sheet.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Poster-Displ...IAAOxygPtSsi6c

Thanks guys. A "half" sheet is 28 1/2" X 43". I've never thought of using the above. I am most concerned about long term protection rather than displaying. Full sheets are awkward to display - and there is increased risk of creasing the sheets every time you touch them.....so I like your idea Ben.

I consider the "half" sheets as full sheets. I know I have never owned a "full" sheet, not sure if I have ever even seen one not in the production plant.

I agree with your interpretation. I have half sheets as well, which I consider to be a full sheet. Most of the sheets sold on eBay are actually half sheets ie either the "A" side or "B" side, etc. I can't imagine how cumbersome it must be collecting full size sheets.

I doubt there's more than a handful of true full sheets out there, at least from the 50's or 60's.

I bought a number of sheets directly from the estate of a Topps exec. The estate owned numerous (i.e. many hundreds of sheets). All of the sheets were "half sheets" as described above.
