54 topps binder guys…
 

Do you all put your cards in the sleeves so that the fronts of the cards are all oriented the same way even though that means some of the backs will be upside down, or do you align them so that the backs are all top up? Putting the set in a binder now. Making me crazy.

Fronts must match. The heck with the backs. :p

Ditto...gotta have the fronts inline...


I really do get frustrated with my 52-56 Topps/Bowman binder sets. I've tried the top-loader binders but over time the sheets just don't last and you can hold a max of 250 cards so the 56 set is out. I currently have them in the 8 pocket sheets, and frankly, they suck. Just way too "loose"...wish they were firmer and tighter. Wish their was a better quality sheet available or some different option...

You can always put them so the fronts match.....then buy a second of each card that have the backs reversed and slide them in the sheet behind the card so the backs match. You will have duplicates of some but at least the backs will also match.

Ooh this is some serious OCD and I love it. That might be a nice side project.

I agree. I have my 52 and 54-56 Topps sets in the same 8 pocket pages and agree they are too loose. Putting the cards in a vintage penny sleeve first helps a little but still not perfect. And I don’t like the orientation of the vertical sets in the 8 pocket pages either. But I haven’t found a better option.
