The bulk of mine are in toploaders, though I have also have a nonzero percentage in slabs and binders. I keep going back and forth about whether or not I should standardize everything, but I like being able to look at them one at a time in toploaders/slabs, and flip through the pages in binders. If UltraPro made a page for 1950s Topps that allowed them to be displayed vertically, I might make the jump to all binders.

I am way in the minority, but I always want to keep raw cards in sleeves, card savers, and top loaders.

Even as a teen during the junk wax era, I never liked using binders (even moreso for anything worthwhile.) The advantage of a quick multi-card display was never enough to sway me.

But I know most people love them. I should have a giveaway with mine that I never use

I enjoy putting complete sets into binders then flipping through them from time to time. Nothing like putting a set in a binder and then it sitting there untouched forever. I try to wait until I'm about 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through before putting into said binder.

I also build Rangers Topps team sets. Those start in 1972, and I have all team sets built through 2019. Not sure if I have a complete 2020 Topps set, and I know my 2021 team set isn't complete yet. I've been thinking about trying other team sets (Fleer, Donruss, Pacific, etc). But commons are so hard to come by because nobody really keeps them anymore.

But I love looking at everyone's storage pictures. Gives me ideas, makes me jealous, etc. I just enjoy the hobby and being able to collect.

However, a buddy of mine has every Topps set from 1953 through 1975. Everyone of the the cards are in penny sleeves and toploaders, no matter if a $1k BV Mantle or a 50 cent BV common from 1975. He bought out a library's collector of card catalogues and used those to store his complete sets. I'll try and get a picture for everyone to see. It's a neat idea, but I enjoy flipping through the sets too much to just store them in a card catalogue.

Wow, great displays. I wish I had the amount of room some of you have for binders. I have Topps sets from 51 on (I don't have the updates just the base sets), but most are in 550 to 800 count boxes depending on the set size. Sets from 1951 to 1956 are the only ones in binders.

I use clamshell binders from Unikeep.



I've migrated all of my older cards from Card Savers to mylar holders. New stuff goes into Card Savers. I put the holdered cards into pages with # of pockets varying by card size. My tobacco cards are in mylars that fit 9-pocket pages, for example.



It probably wouldn't be good for sets but it is perfect for my random bric a brac/type card approach.

Wonderful display, Mark! I did however catch something that you might want to change. Looks like you need to swap 1986 and 1987. They are out of order. LOL!

Who is that on your 1987 binder? I thought it might be Lance McCullers, but I was wrong. I think it was a pretty good guess if I do say so myself!

I love what you did with the spine of the binders. Are those real cards or are they printouts? If they are real cards are they duplicates? How did you choose who is featured on the spine? That might be something I want to look at doing instead of a simple label. I actually thought about attaching the wrapper of a pack. I have a wrapper for each set except for 1953 and 1956. If I did cards on the spine, I might just go with a Cardinals player on each.

Looks like each card is a HOFer, and that’s Gossage for 87T (sandwiched between 85T Ryan and 86T Carew).

Thanks for the catch. The 1987 card is Goose Gossage. Every player in the spine is a Hall Of Famer (or should be or will be). Starting at 1957 (plus 1951) they are all original cards and are duplicates from what's in the set. Earlier years are official insert reprints from various Topps sets.
The 1951 Binder includes the 1950 Bowman as well as both 1951 Topps sets and the 1951 Bowman set.
