T206 in binders
 

For those of you who store your t206 in binders, what binder do you use? I like the lighthouse vario binders with slipcase, but for a set of 520 (which I do not have but want to work towards) I think that the Lighthouse Vario G Classic is too big but the Lighthouse Vario F is too small. Anyone using something that they really like?

Lighthouse binders are the best. If you do the 15 pocket pages, the Vario G binders may be a tad big, but that shouldn't really negatively impact things. You can always add another set to the binder to help fill some of the blank space. I've only bought the G binders but I love them.

Anyone going 20 card pages? That's where I'm headed when the times right (at least 50% complete). Always interested in storage/binder decisions with raw sets...
In 2008 I completed (minus the big 4) and stored in standard 9 card pages. The catch was I used a paper cutter to slice down semi-rigid holders to fit in each slot. Protection was great. Album was thick and heavy. Biggest draw back was the cards not popping as much through two layers of plastic, plus I feel 20 on a page is way more pleasing on the eyes than just 9.

If anyone reading this needs tobacco toploaders or 20ct pages I have a ton of them from my heavy collecting days. They are for trade also pending cards of course.

when I was researching, the thing I read the most was that the top row of 5 in the 20 page sheets leave the cards dangerously close to exposed. With the Lighthouse binders that have slipcases, that would be less of an issue for me, but I went with 15 pocket pages and I am happy with it. I was also scared about putting cards in sleeves, but I bought a cheap pair of stamp tongs, and they are a total game changer. Have never had an issue putting a card in or taking it out of the page with the tongs.

+1 for Lighthouse. I use them for modern cards, I don't have enough T206's to warrant a binder, yet.

I love Lighthouse too it’s just that the classic binder is a little too large for a t206 set in my opinion. I wish there was a smaller size that worked.

Do the 15 slot pages measure the same width-wise as the 20 slot pages? If they are slightly less wide they may work for the Lighthouse Vario F binder.

Would the Vario F be too small? I'm thinking it may work with the 20-card pages (only 27 total pages). I feel like I've only seen them with O-rings though, and I'd definitely want to shoot for rectangular or D-rings at a minimum. I'm about ready to assemble the abulm...any additional suggestions from the raw t206 binder guys out there???
