Binder pages for large cards?
 

some of the '50s cards (like 53 Bowman) are too big for the normal 9-pocket binder pages. But they look too small in the large 4-pocket binder pages. Anyone have any other solutions?

Thanks,

You should be able to buy 8-pocket pages online or in any sports card hobby store. These are made specifically for the 52-56 Topps and 53-55 Bowman issues.

Thanks Rob for the reply. The 8 pocket pages I see are 2 columns by 4 rows. So that seems good for horizontal cards like 55 & 56 Topps. Ya'll store your '53B horizontally too?

Sadly, yup. All of my 53/54 Topps and Bowmans are laying down on the job. Somebody once told me that there are vertical 8 pockets but I have never found any (and I have looked).

Same with my 52 to 56 Topps sets. You just need to turn the album sideways and everything comes up just fine ;)

When you do that do you use what would be the seven hole for number one? I did that for my 54 Topps set and it confuses the heck out of my wife when she helps me putting cards away.

I use the #7 as #1, then flip the binder to view. That is why I married my wife. When she was my girlfriend she understood my madness of collecting, and my madness of storage.

Tomman--- hang on to that one

No kidding. My wife doesn't understand my collecting at all. Then again, I wouldn't let her put my cards into albums for me even if she did understand. LOL

Ultra Pro
 

I wouldn't go with ultra pro as there is too much wiggle room and so if your binder moves around at all you will have cards in these sheets sticking out. I have been told that bcw 8-pockets might have a better snug fit.

Thanks Patrick. Anyone have any experience with these?

I use the Ultra Pro 8 pockets and I would agree that it would be easy for the card to slide out. I wish they would make them side loading instead of top loading for that reason. I would think the smaller opening would keep that from happening.
