Posted By: <b>Jamie B</b><p>Now that I am starting to build up around 300 t206's I am wondering what the best way to store them would be.. is there a style of an album built for these cards... sort of like a photo album.... any suggestions ???

Posted By: <b>Phil</b><p>I have been collecting only SGC graded T206s for two years now and have about 125 graded cards. Right now they are just sitting in a couple of boxes in my home office. They are such wonderful cards to look at, but I seldom open the boxes and sit down and look at them.<br />So I am planning to purchase some frames that are made to hold the SGC or PSA Holders. The frames hold 30 or 50 cards each. They are a little pricey. With shipping, they are about $125 each. Right now I would need 3 of the ones that hold 50 cards. Then you have to worry about having space to hang them all together.<br />If your cards are not graded, they do have rigid card holders now that fit T206s and you can get these frames that fit these card holders as well.<br />I just like the idea of being able to look at them like a piece of art (which they truly are).<br />Just my 2 cents.

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>Jamie B,<br /><br />Here's where I buy my Tobacco Size, Ultra-Pro Top Loaders. <br /><br /><a href="http://nwcardsupplies.com/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://nwcardsupplies.com/</a><br /><br />I think they are about $1.25 for a pack of ten holders. This includes 10 holders and 10 "penny sleeves".<br /><br />Then, I store the entire holder in a standard 9-pocket page. Any graded cards get stored in a 4-pocket page.

Posted By: <b>jim sexton</b><p>Adam, I covered a large soft board with green felt and attached it to the wall. Each 205 is in a hard toploader held to the board with a thumb tack.<br />The room has heat and humidity control and as I mentioned earlier is pitch black when the recessed lights go out.<br /><br />
