Best way to store 1933 Goudeys

I store my set in penny sleeves (do these still cost a penny?), in a standard 9-pocket page, in a binder. About a dozen have been graded. I keep those in the same binder, in 4-pocket pages in the front of the binder.

As an alternative, if you want more protection, those same 4-pocket pages can hold the cards when they are in either a top loader or a semi-rigid holder.

If you opt not to go the binder route, I've always been a proponent of Card Saver II's. The card presents much better than it does in a top loader and it doesn't bounce around the way some cards do in top loaders.

I've never had a problem with screwdowns, but I always put the card in a sleeve first and I never tightened it down any more than it needed to hold the card in place.

I used to keep them in 9 pocket sheets because I like flipping though sets that way. Sold my set a few years ago.

does the 4 pocket sheets hold the Card Saver 1's or Card Saver 2's?

I have my '33 Goudeys in an MJ Roop (RIP, miss you guys) binder. Cards are in penny sleeves for protection and to keep them from wanting to fall out. Probably a third of the cards were purchased graded but were cracked out to fill out the pukas. I kept the flips for whatever that was worth. Some of the high-end guys (Lajoie, the Ruths etc) I left slabbed and put a reprint in its place for appearance's sake. Can't beat this set-up for a casual perusal of one of the classic sets.

I believe they'll hold both. Definitely II's though. But they may have a tendency to slide out.

I wish Roop was still around too. Your set looks great by the way!
