Storing and enjoying cards in binders

[jayshum]

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.

I used to use binders, but because I do master sets and kept finding new cards that weren't uncatalogued (necessitating taking the cards out and moving them one slot over all the time to keep them in order), I moved to top loaders. Then I decided that level of protection vs. space accomplishes nothing for me, and just used penny sleeves. And then I decided that since I intend to own until death, I really don't give a hoot if 1 card gets a dinged corner at some point, so 95% of it is now without any pockets, sleeves, plastic or binders, in numerical order in cardboard boxes sorted by period. Nothing has been significantly hurt by being raw so far, blasphemous as it is.

I just like to pull and flip through albums while watching Star Trek so boxes don't work for me.
