Best Way to Store Sheets

Griffins · #1 11-30-2016, 10:57 AM

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.
