Storing sets ? - 1958 and 1959
 
I am at hard spot trying to determine how to store my sets - I currently have each card in top loader with penny sleeve, however, I like to look at my sets. With that being said, a lot of the 1959's are in the 6-7 range, so do not want to ding corners, etc. While it's personal preference... How do you store your mid grade sets in the 50's?

If you'd like to look at them, maybe a binder? My understanding is that they make binder pages of various sizes, and you can get ones (maybe four or six cards per page, I can't remember), that will store your cards without you having to take them out of the top loaders.

You can store them at my house. :D

I basically do the same thing. ALL are in a penny sleeve, but only the ones over 'some-dollar-amount-that-I-can't-remember' are in top loaders. They are then stored by sets in 2 row shoe boxes. For higher mid-grade sets, I think this provides the best economically feasible protection. And since yours are all in top loaders, you can take them out and play with them as well. ;)

In storing, as with collecting, there is no 'wrong' way. :)

I do something similar for certain sets.....penny sleeves....top loaders....stored in US military, water proof 50 Cal military ammo boxes as a final measure of protection which cost about $15-20 each. The 7.62mm boxes perfectly fit about 100 graded cards and the 50 Cal boxes hold the remainder.

Very good storage system....for minimal cost.

Gosh Zach, if a terrorist breaks into your house he may be real mad when he gets home and finds he has a bunch of baseball cards instead of amo
