Now that I am starting to build up around 300 t206's I am wondering what the best way to store them would be.. is there a style of an album built for these cards... sort of like a photo album.... any suggestions ???

My complete set (less the Wagner and Doyle) is in plastic sheets and in a 3 ring binder. All of my sets are kept and displayed this way. It has worked for close to 40 years.

I have been collecting only SGC graded T206s for two years now and have about 125 graded cards. Right now they are just sitting in a couple of boxes in my home office. They are such wonderful cards to look at, but I seldom open the boxes and sit down and look at them.
So I am planning to purchase some frames that are made to hold the SGC or PSA Holders. The frames hold 30 or 50 cards each. They are a little pricey. With shipping, they are about $125 each. Right now I would need 3 of the ones that hold 50 cards. Then you have to worry about having space to hang them all together.
If your cards are not graded, they do have rigid card holders now that fit T206s and you can get these frames that fit these card holders as well.
I just like the idea of being able to look at them like a piece of art (which they truly are).
Just my 2 cents.

Inside basement room. Absolutely no outside light. Five years, no problems and I get to see them every day.

Jamie B,

Here's where I buy my Tobacco Size, Ultra-Pro Top Loaders.

http://nwcardsupplies.com/

I think they are about $1.25 for a pack of ten holders. This includes 10 holders and 10 "penny sleeves".

Then, I store the entire holder in a standard 9-pocket page. Any graded cards get stored in a 4-pocket page.

Adam, I covered a large soft board with green felt and attached it to the wall. Each 205 is in a hard toploader held to the board with a thumb tack.
The room has heat and humidity control and as I mentioned earlier is pitch black when the recessed lights go out.
