Mailing them is of course a different matter--stiff stuff. |

Cabinet cards are sturdy. Whichever way you store them, you want to make sure they aren't dinged and dented, and that they are stored away from light, exessive heat and humidity. |

A potential problem with stacking photos on top of each other is that the image surfaces can stick. This is more of a problem with modern photos, especially color photos, which still have moisture. Most 1800s photos are pretty much dry as a bone and it's not a big issue. Another possible problem with stacked photos is scratches to the images-- though if the photos are in individual holders, even soft sleaves, it's not much of a worry. |

There is no acceptable way to store vintage cabinet cards; I'd recommend selling all that you have to me--I'm okay with dealing the difficult proper storage issue. |

I put the cards into 8 x 10 album pages cut down to size, then into top loaders, and then put that into a full 3-ring album page. I can flip through the books at leisure without worrying about harming the cards. |

Jay from qualitycards.com provided me this advice: the use of comic book protectors...I have 1 turkey red cabinet of Jack Johnson, the comic book protectors fit perfectly. |

I really like storing them in toploaders because I don't like taking them out and I like as few pieces of plastic between the card and my viewing as possible - the album sleeves blur the image. |

I should also add that I've owned lots of 1920s-70s wirephotos and similar photos. I always kept them in stacks on shelves, no holders or anything. I had little to no problems having them stacked that way beyond the dinged corners. Most damage has happened when I was handling them, not while they were being s tored. So letting old photos sit there off to the side is not a big issue. |

thanks for the input, i am currently storing most of the cabinets in mylar envelopes, stacked upright in a box that is nearly the perfect size to hold them. i have considered putting them in Vario pages and albums, but that would be extremely bulky, making storage in a safe impossible, but would greatly facilitate viewing. |
