Just getting into vintage and looking for storage ideas

[wdwfan]

I think they're just looking for stuff to grade. Not sure though.

I don't reuse toploaders and sleeves. If I get cards in the mail, they go into new toploaders and sleeves. No questions.

Finally, anything that's "bad" goes in the trash. I just tossed out a bunch that had creases of some sort (corner crease/major crease, etc.). Now, all of my cards are crease/bend free.

I'm not picky about how cards are presented in bulk boxes, as long as the pricing is clear. Like don't put a 50 cent box right next to an unlabeled box of stuff that's not 50 cents.
Other than that the only thing I'd like but seldom get is organization. If you've got cards from signature rookies, for me it's nice to find them all together. Not a major thing, since with the typical bargain box customer, any organization will be wrecked in the first few minutes.
I do find nice new sleeves or toploaders to be a plus. Used ones maybe less so, although I have bought cheap cards to get what I thought was an unusual holder. (Yes, I'm sort of crazy)

In my collection, I sort of wish I'd simply sleeved everything as I got it. That would mean a lot less work now. But even now a lot of the cards I have are so bad they really don't need sleeves.
