1951-52 Bowman - I finally figured it out

[PowderedH2O]

I suppose others tried this. I just finally thought of it, so maybe I am the one behind. I keep my sets in binders (yes, I am old school). The small Bowman cards always looked out of place in 9-pocket sheets. A few days ago I saw someone with business cards in 10 pocket sheets. I ordered 100 of them, and what do you know? They fit 1951 and 1952 Bowman baseball and football small cards perfectly. The sets look SO much better now. Anybody else use these?

Kelloggs cards fit in them also

Been using Ultra Pro 9 Pocket Mini Card Pages (the ones that folks might use for 1975 or early 1991 Topps minis) for mine.

I saw this tip on this board when I first joined years ago. My 52 Bowman set is in these exact pages. Makes it nice that there are 10 to a page so flipping to a certain card number is easier.

It is making mine look great, and since so many are horizontal, it is even better.

But the real question is...how to you place them?

1-2
3-4
5-6
7-8
9-10

--or--

1-6
2-7
3-8
4-9
5-10

The way you are suggesting to hold the book and open the cover from right to left mine would actually be
5 - 10
4 - 9
3 - 8
2 - 7
1 - 6

If you turn it 90 degrees so the cover flips up instead of like a book then it would look like 1 - 5 then 6 - 10

Hope that makes sense.
