How Do You Store Your Signed Cards

[canjond]

It’s that time of the year where I reassess how I store my autographed cards, and I’m curious how others store and display them? I used to keep all of my signed cards in rigids, but space constraints and inability to enjoy them got me away from that.

Lately, I’ve been storing my signed cards in archival albums tucked in ultra pro 9 pocket pages, and I find myself leafing through them more frequently and enjoying them much more. I’m always careful as I turn pages as to not damage the cards (as best as possible) However, I’m not sure if I need to be concerned with the signatures (sharpie and paint pens, for example) sticking to the pages over time? Anyone have experience with this, good or bad?

What are your thoughts? How do you display your collection? What’s the best way to protect, but enjoy, your signed cards?

Depends on value, I will never use the 9 card album page. Have had autos stick after a decade etc.

What I recommend (if you want to go that route) is using the 9 card album page that holds the rigid card holders.

Wouldn’t a penny sleeve on the card keep them from sticking to the pages?

I haven’t heard of the 9 card pages that fit a top loader. Do you know who makes them?

Also, I tried using a penny sleeve on the signed cards, but I was unable to get them to fit inside the album page (the sleeve would bunch up). Is there a specific penny sleeve that works better?
