BTW, I also strongly dislike blank spots in my binders.

Yes, that is what I have done. For instance in the 1973 Topps set, the Schmidt rookie is a photocopy of the front and back.

Generally if it is worth more than $30-40 I have a photocopy in there.

I'm also not super picky on my binder sets, VG is good enough.

For my HOF singles collection, I generally prefer a little better grade.

All my cards for all my sets (that's every Topps and Bowman set back to 1948) are in the binders with only one exception.

I have the Mantle and Mays rookies from 1951 Bowman tucked away with reprints in their place.
Other than that they are all there with all their brothers. Since I'm the only one who looks at them I have no worries about them being mishandled. I know how to open and flip binder pages.

I did have one other variation. My 1954 Aaron rookie is in the binder, but i trimmed down a top loader so it would fit in the pocket and have the Aaron resting between the plastic.

All of my sets are either in binders or the appropriate size card box for the set. There are a few cards I keep in top loaders (52 Mantle, Robinson, Campanella and Mathews, 54 Aaron, 55 Clemente and Koufax, and a few other cards from the 50s, but everything else is together with the set. My cards are already VG at best so I figure keeping them in a binder or box can't do too much more damage to them.

I use reprints for as a stand-in for my most valuable cards. The only good use for a reprint in my opinion.

I love putting sets in binders. Makes it easier to flip through them and admire them, remember putting them together, etc. And I put all the stars, HOFers, whatever in the binder. Even $100 BV cards, $400 BV cards, whatever go into the binder.

Sam here. I don't care the value of the card, it goes in the binder. None of my cards have ever been damaged by doing this.

I used to have pre 1960 cards in hard plastic cases, but I never looked at them, they were just stored in a box on a shelf. Transitioning them into binders. Koufax,Maris,Mantle,Mays,Castleman etc going into the Binder.

I’m the same way as well. For me personally I use ultra pro sleeves and pages. Then I shop for binders here:
www.baseball card binders.com. Pricy yes but for the style and quality of construction, it’s well worth it.
