tobacco and caramel cards in binders
 

I always enjoy seeing pictures that people post on here of their sets/collections in binders. I really like the way tobacco cards look in those 15 card pages. I keep my e120 set in a binder, as well as a raw e95 set I'm working on. I use top-loaders because I like to move my cards around when I add a new one, and I'm paranoid about damaging them.

Let's see some cards in binders!

Awesome!

Nice Luke!

I really like the look and the album type. I use the 15 per page sheets for my raw tobacco cards. I never thought of using a larger size and keeping the cards in top loaders.

No quick photos as I'm at work but I have almost all my nonsports N and T cards in those nostalgia slipcover albums. The 10 cards per page pages have just a little more room in them than the Ultrapro 15 cards per page pages do, so you don't get any tight fits. I like your BB solution using the toploaders in the 6 cards per page pages. I've got maybe 20-25 of those Nostalgia albums but you can't get them anymore as Murraycards went out of business. At least I've not been able to find the same sized ones.

Nice pictures Luke and Steve. Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately most of my E9x cards are in toploaders stored in boxes cuz they are too big for 15 pocket but too loose for 9 pocket. Wish they had 12 pocket with 3 rows of 4 :(

I use Archival Methods binders with slip case and am happy. Those Nostalgia ones look beautiful!

Sorry for all the photos, I guess I got a little excited. Thought I took like 5 haha. Next thing I know ...

Rob

the rest ...

WOW Rob, impressive collection!

Rob, WOW!!! :eek:

Tom, there is still a company in England that sells Nostalgia products, but they don't ship overseas, so that makes it tricky for most of us. Steve, that's a pretty awesome single page!

Thanks for the kind words Greg and Luke. Honestly there are a LOT of open spaces to fill in those sheets, so I have the rest of my life to try to fill 'em haha. Seeing pics from your collections is what keeps me going!

Rob
:)

Rob, the only thing you have to apologize for is not posting enough photos!

Let me know if you find yourself looking at the page with the T213-1 and T216 and thinking "You know, this page is just too full."

Nice...

lets see the fronts of those t213/t216 Rob!!!!!

Wow Rob,

Those are some really great looking albums!!!

Bryan, Pete, and Steve ... you'll notice that page is quite bare. Feel free to help me fill it up :)

p.s. thanks again guys!
Rob
:)

Rob,

Your collection rocks! What good is it if you can't share it once in awhile right?

Looks great.

Rob

Very Nice.

Thanks for posting that!

Obvious bunch of Walter Johnsons... I like the horizontal Cracker Jacks, the Old Mill red border cards are honored to be in that book (Angermeier portrait, Frankfort, series 6 looks good), a stock certificate, Old Judge cards galore...

And a great bunch of slips!!!! I applaud you!!!

Those cards have great eye appeal bunched in the binders; imagine a bunch of slabs in sleeves in binders, nonsense!!!

Thank you.

Love seeing those raw cards!

I never shy away from showing this one... :D

These are all in binders, I love the nostalgia --- and especially love that someone had a binder that stated this obvious reason for collecting in binders... Ha!

Very impressive Nate!!

Sick collection Rob. Extremely cool on so many levels!!

Rob that is fantastic, I found that if I don't have them in albums I don't get to enjoy them as much!

Really nice cards/collections everyone!!

Rob, do I really spy a Lou Gertenrich without back damage?
Val

Wow!

Nice collections everyone!

After seeing Dan's T206 collection a few years ago, not a single day has gone by without me struggling with the urge to crack all my cards out and put them in a binder. I've resisted thus far.

This photo shows some of Lionel Carter's T206 collection in its original state. ;) I was fortunate enough to get one of the cards shown.

Jantz

One of many many sheets of T205s...kept in a nice binder.

so that's where all of the larry doyles went!!!!!

Rob A, Frank, Tom and Mike thanks for the kind words, I'm humbled! I know you guys have some raw cards as well (caramels, T210 sets, CJs), don't be shy :)

Val, yes'r, I do have one Gertenrich w/o back damage. The others have the usual back damage but I love them no less. BTW lets see some of those WaJo's!!!

Nate, awesome picture of Cubs T206s! :eek: But I think we're gonna need some evidence of the binders j/k :)

Jantz, can't imagine the time it took for Mr. Carter to create those custom albums for his collection. Thanks for sharing the picture.

Joshua, neat page of Doyles! Back run or just hoarding them? :D

I bought a T206 reprint set and loaded it into 15 pocket sheets. When I get an original I replace the reprint. It's a fun way to collect the set! Four reprints remain on this page.

Larry

Hadn't thought of that Larry, that is an interesting way of doing it.

Holy my freaking goodness!! The stuff!!

Seeing them in binders makes me imagine showing up at a flea market and someone having a binder full of T-cards. I would never get to know the price, as I would have a stroke before I ever got the chance.

Tom C

Michael,
I actually own 13 more than I showed!

Joshua

PS Doyle is one of my favorites but they are readily available and rather common.

And to think I've actually seen this collection!
Larry

After looking over these great collections, I think that I would love to start putting my modest collection into a binder too.

I really like using the t206 reprint set as a template and replacing the reprints with the real deal!

Joshua,
I agree. I really like the national leaguers better than the american league cards. It is really cool seeing that many of one card.

I think that I may go "old school" and store my t205's in pages by teams!

Who knows?

These type threads usually convert a collector or two!!!

Praaaaaaaaaaaise... the RAW!!!

I have never held a flip out of the slab. Is there any danger in ink transfer or staining by putting the flip in a page so that it is touching the back of the cards as Larry has done?

The slips are stable, they aren't going to stain a card. They might if you added oil, gasoline, alcohol, or something like that. But dry and touching the slip won't affect the card.

One neat aspect with the ungraded cards in a binder is that you can take out all of a certain team, then lay them out by series. You can see "Cubs" on the jerseys of the of the 150 series cards, and the eventual transition to "Chicago" down the front of the 460 series. It's much better than a Beckett-like alphabetical sorting, oblivious of team designation.

2x2, 3x3, 3x5, 4x5, who cares, as long as they fit !!! :rolleyes:

BTW, Luke, American Tobacco cards in an English (Nostalgia) binder is kind of revolutionary !!!! ;)

Here is some of my stamped backs in sheets.

Nice binders Mr. Gross and Joe!

nice everyone...sadly only a small portion of my collection is still raw and in binders...mostly non sports and yankee postcards...and the heft of my monster #!

photographic evidence that Pete collects the monster!!! :D

Scott and Joe: Nice binders my friends! I never thought about the English binder being kind of funny. I agree now that you mention it :D

binders
 

This thread makes me want to open my slabs and put my cards in binders. Who cares about pop reports and registries? :)

Rick

Amen!

Can I sneak a binder of M cards in here? :)

http://www.ellisburkscollector.com/img/tsn/binder.jpg


The standard 9 pocket pages let the cards move too much, so I use the Ultra Pro Mini 9 Pocket pages (3 1/8 X 2 1/4.)

I like the 20 card sheets but love all cards in binders. I never hesitate to put any card of any value in them.

Jason and Eric, great pics! :D:D:D

ha ha...not just any monster cards...only the rarest of rare backs!!!

Lionel Carter style.....very nice! Great photos boys

Binder
 

I have a small but growing collection that I keep in a binder. I use card savers cut down to size to fit inside 9 pocket pages. This keeps my cards tight and protected but allows me to move them around safely.

Beautiful cards, gentlemen.

BTW, it looks like somebody is selling ten of the Murray Cards Nostalgia binders on eBay right now.

Link clicky

I don't know the seller, so I can't vouch for their service. Just passing the info along to somebody who might be interested in picking these up.

Of course, I only learn about Murray Cards now that they have gone out of business. Just like M.J. Roop (thankfully, Box Factory makes the same boxes now).

Any other companies making really great stuff to store cards that I need to know about, guys, you know, before they go out of business? :p

Reviving this thread, because I never got around to posting in it the first time. Most of my T and E cards are in toploaders, but some are in these 18-pocket pages that I got back around 1993 and filled up soon after. In the first one I made a nice display of T206 backs, though even at the time I think I had more backs that didn't fit in the display. On the left side I put the 150-350-460 versions of Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, and Sovereign, then on the right side I put the A-B-C brands (American Beauty, Broadleaf, Cycle), all of them 350 versions with borders, and below that six of the "Assorted"/"Assortment" brands. I probably didn't have a Carolina Brights yet at the time.

In the second picture are some of my T209 through T212s. This may have been all I had at the time I put together the page, though I now have more of all of them, especially T210s and T212s (of which I have more than 50 each).

very cool david! I'd love to know whose on the fronts from that 3rd pic of d's/t's, etc!!!!

I used to have a bunch of strip cards with that same writing/text(l.a. becker) on the back!

very nice, thanks for sharing David. Do they still make the 18-card pages?

After reading this thread, I would just like to say, I hate you all!!!

:-)

Those are awesome. You are almost a type card collector with all of those different series. :) Thanks for sharing..

Pete -- Here is the front of that page, below. I had some E79 Prize Fighter Caramels in there, because I didn't have enough miscellaneous T-size baseball cards at the time. That wouldn't be a problem now.

Rob G. -- I'm pretty sure those 18-pocket pages are no longer made, and these have no manufacturer named on them. I got these around 1993 at AU Sports in Skokie, Illinois, which is still around but moved a few years ago to Niles.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ds/image_1.jpg

thanks David! I think I may have t215 type i schulte...if that's possible?

I also have one of these 15-pocket pages made by Rotman, into which I put some of my Old Judges about 15 years ago, back when I only had 10 Old Judges (plus five Old Judge actresses). I love these pages because they allow much more room and are easier to load and unload than the Ultra-Pro 15-pocket pages, which are a tight fit for T cards and too narrow for a lot of E cards, such as E95s. (Actually, I also have my T59 Flags of All Nations set in these pages, because those cards are also too wide for the UltraPro pages.) I got this page at a card show in the 90s when I bought the last card in the page, but Rotman appears to have gone out of business years ago, and I've never been able to find more of these pages.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ds/image_2.jpg

Wow... what a beautiful thread. Having just started the monster a few months ago (at 140 cards so far...), my binder looks bleak compared to these amazing photos!

Good to see so many wonderful raw cards!

David- how do you display/store all of your trade cards?

And I love cards in albums over cards in plastic cases any day. Kudos to the collectors who still do it raw!

Barry -- my trade cards are in albums, mostly in 4-pocket pages, with 2-pocket and 1-pocket pages for the bigger cards, and a few 6-pocket and 9-pocket pages for smaller cards. I think I have 17 albums now and counting, organized by product type (four albums of medicine, three of thread, two of soap, three of stoves, two of sewing machines, one of corsets and other clothing, two of shoes), plus numerous stacks of cards that still need to go into albums, probably at least a couple of albums' worth.

Almost ashamed to post this, but I guess everyone started at zero.
I've got more on the way to me, two from members here.

I had them in Card Savers, but I find I like binder pages better. I have my Monster binder that has Scot Reader's story and the back multiplier in it, and other T206 information.

I've learned a lot on the website in the last few months.
Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge.

Well, here is where I stand right now:

Jimmy -- Nothing to be ashamed of at all! We all have to start somewhere, and you've got a nice start to a Lavender back run, and a nice assortment of backs already.

Jimmy...nice start there!

The more I look at raw cards, the more I like them. I might have to add some in the near future. I collect 99% graded, but I have a true appreciation for pre-war cards that have been obviously handled. It's interesting and fun to wonder who had these cards before us and how much they cherished them like we do

Thanks David. Just getting started with these. Seems that is all is all I look for anymore. My Aaron and Yaz runs are on hold.

I know what you mean Mike. Every card I get, I find the story of the guy. I own the card of the guy who has the lowest batting average in history. Of players who have the AB's to qualify for the batting title, he has the lowest ever.

I now collect raw too - from trusted sources.

Thanks for your comments on my meager collection. Working on it. Thank you.

You have a Dick Buckley card in there ? My last name is Buckley I feel obligated to get one of his cards.

Jimmy -- I assume you're talking about Bill Bergen with the batting average. That card was also one of the early T206s in my collection. Bergen was considered one of the best defensive catchers of his day, as was his brother Marty, who tragically killed his wife and kids before committing suicide in 1900.

Hi Mark
 

Thanks for your compliments.

And, before I answer your ? I just posted my favorite set....N162



And, here is my favorite T206......

Yeah, Bergen. The best defensive catcher at the time. And yes, his brother was also a mlb catcher. He died in 1900.. ...yes, that was what I'm was talking about.

Stories about the players. Incredibe stories.

Thanks Ted. Your Chase BL is a great looking card. My favorite T206 changes every time I look at them......LOL.

Mark

T206 in binders question: Will the cards fit in a Top Loader and then into the 15 count binder sheets or do the cards have to go in these sheets raw?

Donnie --

If you're talking about the UltraPro 15-pocket pages, there's no way a toploader would fit in those pockets, even the small T-card-sized toploaders. T206s are a tight fit in those pages as it is. But the T-size toploaders do fit nicely in standard 9-pocket pages, as I think somebody showed in this thread.

Thanks David,

Yes I was wondering about the 15 pocket Ultra Pro. I like the appearance but with my limited number of cards I wanted to move them around as I bought new cards without damaging them further.
Looks like I may have to go the route of the 9-pocket as well.

This thread is over four years old. I look at it almost every week. To me, this is one of the greatest threads on Net54 of all time. Given all of the hang-wringing over TPGs these days, I wanted to bring it back. Look and enjoy.
