Joe,

I looked at some dust cover binders, but found they limited my size options a little. I have binders of varying sizes from 1 inch up to 5 or 5 1/2 inches. The Toops binders are all stored in a closet, so the dust is minimal.

This may surprise some of the people on the board but the vast majority of my collection is ungraded. I sell almost entirely graded (PSA or SGC) cards but I collect raw.

Yea, tuff to find dust covers for 5 1/2" binders. Still what a great collection. I'm sure you enjoy opening them and looking through them. Congrads.

95% raw. Frankly, I feel like a dork when I show a non-collector a piece of cardboard hermetically sealed in hard plastic.

Probably one of the best responses in a great thread!


Everyone, thank you for your input. I also read a similar thread from 2007. Sorry to have re-hashed the topic, but it was fun reading!
