The printout, photocopy or reprint of an expensive star card that you put in the pocket of your set binder in place of the original, which is kept safely stored elsewhere.

See also: Relief Picture - when the player on the card in question is a Hall of Fame pitcher.

Kudos!

I have several books which contain images of most of more expensive cards.

While I have some in binders, and some in Dakota Wood Boxes, the most valuable are graded and keep in two fire-proof safes - in an even safer place.

I also have scans of all the cards I have sold.

But, everyone has, and should have, their own particular storage v display strategy.

I will advise you not to store refractors and chrome additions in binders with plastic sleeves...trust me on that on.

I have my 1971 Topps coins in 12 pocket sheets. But they keep rotating and sometimes even fall out when viewing them.

I am thinking of putting each coin in those 2 x 2 coin holders then putting them in the sheet.

Is this what most do or is there a better way?

Thanks!

Mike

That's what I did with that set and my Armour coin set. Works perfectly

the 15 pocket sheets fit the coins perfectly. It's what I use.

Speaking of sets and binders�.. most of us put the cards in number order. My friend showed me his 62 set and he put all the checklist together, all the players by team . Pretty cool to view it that way as opposed to number order.

The sets I collected as a kid, 1965 and upward, I keep by team. The checklists look great together. So do all the world series cards, all-star cards, etc.

I don't collect full sets, just the players and cards I like, and I store them by teams like I did when I was a kid, especially if the team's cards have the same color and design scheme. One of the reasons 1975 Topps frustrated me so much was lack of consistency. One thing I like about some hockey sets is that they put the teams in number order.
