help with vintage Topps and Bowman cards
 
I want to store and display my collection of 50's and 60's era Topps and Bowman cards in penny sleeves and then in a 9 holder sheet for a 3 ring binder book.
I need to know the correct size for the penny sleeves and 9 holder sheets.
Confused if there is such a size.
Thanks.

The last time I used plastic sheets to display cards, I recall the 9 card pages didn't work for the 1952-56 Topps and 1953-55 Bowman cards. I remember using 8 card pages that worked great for the horizontal sets like '56 Topps. I hope this helps ...

could you go to a local card shop to find out for sure?

yep, you'll definitely need to go with 8-card pages for '52-56 Topps and '53-55 Bowman. I've never seen penny sleeves for those issues, but honestly I've never looked for them. I wouldn't be shocked to learn they exist.

Ultra Pro does make 2.75" x 3.9375" card sleeves for '52-56 Topps sized cards (labeled "vintage card sleeves") as compared to the standard size of 2.625" x 3.625". I find the vintage card sleeves are a bit long for putting into 8 pocket pages and you have to trim a little off the top.
