My 1959 set fits well in the 3 inch binder. I do collect variations and print variants so I have 612 cards in my 59 binder. I only put 1 card per pocket and do not use penny sleeves.

I maybe would purchase a 2 inch binder and see how one of your larger sets fits in it. That will help you decide how many of each to get. Maybe you can get a discount if bought in bulk.

Hey Mike! Thanks so much with your help with this, I appreciate you very much. I will try your suggestion and start with the 2” binders first as I think all the sets from 1951-1956 should fit in 2” binders. I think putting a set like 1954 topps in a 3 inch binder might leave too much extra space in the binder (possibly causing damage to the cards with long term storage). The one thing I struggle with is my OCD and having all different sizes of binders on a self! There might not be away around it because I can’t put the 51 topps set in a 3 inch binder (too small of a set for a 3 inch binder) and I can’t put a 59 topps set in a 2 inch binder (too large of a set for a 2 inch binder) so just trying to figure it all out and to see what will look better on display on a shelf (all three inch binders or a mix of 2 and 3 inch binders).
