storage ideas
Hi folks, I am curious how people here store their cards - any innovative ideas? I am probably pretty typical.
Star singles in top loaders and "shoeboxes". Sets I like look at in 3 ring binders and 9 pocket pages. I also have a lot of hockey singles from the 50-80s (probably 50-75K) that I store in a couple of old library card catalogue cabinets. The cabinets are getting hard to find but make perfect storage. Best, R Haynes |

well
Nothing fancy here. I use a few three ring binders but mainly top loaders, with penny sleeves in them, with not too tight rubber bands around them.....For my not too valuable cards I have them in a small firesafe x2, inside a 1200 lb jewelers safe in my house. It is in a monitored alarmed room. For my valuable stuff I use a safe deposit box with the same methodology, sans my own safes.....nothing too fancy. Oh yeah, I have a few on display in my home-office, on some built in bookshelves. I have a feeling I am fairly typical.....(well, at least for storage of cards).....best regards

Red Sox type cards:
All raw cards are in a penny sleeve/top loader/team bag combo. Graded cards are in a graded card bag. N172 cards: Three ring binder with tobacco pages. The cards are stored in three and four drawer storage cubes such as this: "Regular size" Sox cards are in the four drawer cube, while oversize cards (T3, M101-2, etc.) are in the top of the three drawer cube. The middle drawer contains the N172 binder, while the bottom holds a binder for my modern collection (Adam LaRoche player collection.) I have another three drawer cube that contains storage and mailing supplies. |

thanks...
does the three drawers in the cabinet have partitions ? Either across or back to front? Moveable partitions would probably be best - I really like the card
catalogue cabinet but it is limited in the width of the item to be stored. See pic (not my basement!!!) Last edited by rhaynes74; 12-03-2009 at 04:22 PM. Reason: add comment |

In all seriousness, I've purchased some from these guys:
http://www.aboxfactory.com/ I didn't try the chipboard ones, but the wood ones are pretty sturdy. Biggest drawback is shipping, but I got an email yesterday that they are running a flat rate shipping special of $10 shipping, from now through 12/24. |

I believe that is Jim Crandall's basement.
