The real "purists" would argue someone who just collect cards.....would use a rubber band. Myself, box is best. Too many issues with the cards sticking to the pages and digging corners putting them up

Binders.
As a set collector I love leaving empty pockets in the pages for the cards I still need. Its so satisfying to fill those empty spots in one by one, you can actually see your progress with every card you get. Sets in a box don’t give you that feeling - a box with 386 cards in it looks the same as one with 385 in it…..

Binders for my sets, two row 'shoe boxes' for anything else including extras.

My Topps sets from 1952-1956 are in binders since they don't easily fit in regular size boxes. From 1957 to 2023, they're in boxes.

I only have 1 set in a binder, the rest in shoeboxes, sometimes the 2 row made for cards and sometimes literal shoeboxes. Most sets without any sleeves, tobacco cards usually gets penny sleeved but post-war vintage all raw.
I like the binder presentation, but I like to add misprints, miscuts, blank backs and variations to my sets, which means I have to constantly take all the cards out and put them back in to add a new card in its slot, so they don't work for me, but if I built only a base set with a pre-determined exact list, I'd use binders a lot more. |

Answer used to be binders, but now that the value component is becoming an important aspect, I am slowly switching to penny sleeves and top loaders. I don't use too many card savers as I have damaged too many corners.
However, I prefer binders and being able to look through the set easily |

Binders for the ease of flipping through them to check out sets and groupings of things.
& Boxes that are chock full of mishmashes of random stuff, and you never know what 'forgotten' cards you're suddenly going to come across. (Particularly love the cheap, decorative photo storage boxes from Michael's.) boxofcards.jpg
