Question for the binder users

slidekellyslide · #1 04-07-2021, 10:44 PM

I keep my sets in binders and the higher dollar cards are also in there but I put them in card savers and then insert them into the 4 pocket pages that were made for postcards.

This. Except I use Mylar for the prewar and more acid-vulnerable cards. And these binders are great:

Everyone of my cards go in binder. But none are more than $300ish (maybe only one $500ish). I break them all out of slabs. I might keep a rare card in slab and display on my shelf someday...but, haven't gotten there yet.

LuckyLarry can direct anyone to a mylar card sleeve site if folks need some; I would but I've lost the link.

I have ordered several things from them also. Their sleeves are awesome. I wouldn't recommend their card kits. I bought several hundred and the whole ordeal was a complete cluster F*ck at best.

Do these mylar sleeves hold the card firm in the middle similar to a card saver? Is the sleeve mylar the same size as a card saver? Just trying to figure out the logistics of putting the mylar sleeve into a binder page and the card and sleeve not sliding around inside the slot. Thanks

To each their own. Personally, binders all the way for me. I don�t have cards in my collection that are stratospheric in price, several hundreds, yes. But they all go in binders.

I like to ogle at my cards from time to time and have legal flashbacks. I just like them all in one place.

Cheers,

B.T.

Looking to pick up a bunch of these binders. How many pages do you feel will fit comfortably in each binder?

What type of binders, sleeves etc. do you all use for the 1955 and 1956 Topps sets since they are slightly larger cards??????

I especially like this idea because I am one to organize and then reorganize my cards in different ways over time. The nice thing about using card savers and 4 pocket pages is you can easily remove and reorganize cards without damaging them. It sounds trivial but if you move cards enough times you come to appreciate the flexibility and protection. The biggest drawback is that a single album now only holds about 280 cards or so. That means 3 or more binders for many sets.

Instead of binders, I use 9 X 12 Itoya profolios. I put the cards in the sheets, then put the sheets in the pages. My concern with binders was the curve of the pages.

Because I think paying for opinions is stupid, all of my cards fit nicely into the sheets and pages.

I had my complete 1948-1992 Topps run stored that way before I sold them all, and I still have my Bowman cards that way (which I probably should sell, because I'm never going to continue working on the sets.

Interesting method, Doug. I never would have thought of that. I have a couple of 9x12 Itoyas at home I use to hold photographs. May have to do a little experimenting.
