Hey guys,

I had a Quick question. I am collecting programs and yearbooks, and hate just throwing them in storage boxes. Are there special binders or ways to keep them displayed? Same!Question about graded cards. Thanks!

I believe there are boxes made specifically to hold magazines upright. You could even go this route:

I like to bag each one and use a cardboard stiffener, but that is too costly for low price magazines. They store well that way.

Thanks! That's what I'm currently doing, but it gets annoying to take them out of he box and show them off. I was wondering if anyone came up with a cool way to display them and show them off like a custom binder with pages etc

Hey, Stephen -
I have a large collection of vintage boxing programs/publications that I store/display in oversized albums available at most art supply stores. The pages are clear acid-free pockets with thin acid-free cardboard backing. They are meant to store small sketches and paintings, but I find them perfect for keeping my oversized programs (some of which are pre-1920) and even vintage handbills in pristine condition -- and the albums are sturdy enough to stand alone on a bookshelf. Hope this helps ...

Over the years of buying card collections, I acquired some old programs, yearbooks and scorecards (mainly Orioles). I bag and board each item and decided to display them in a magazine rack.

Example:

Better racks exist, but a rack displays the item nicely and are easily accessible.

I was able to pick up this older wire rack at an antique mall for $18. Takes up a bit of space but displays quite a few magazines or programs nicely.

I've lost ALOT of unreplaceable programs and publications over the years, so I make high resolution copies of all my programs and publications and display them like this. Looking at them, you cant tell they are copies and the originals are tucked safe away, because after all, we have to protect our investments:)
