Collecting "old school"
I am going to really consider storing my collection in 1600ct shoeboxes and putting the stars in penny sleeves, since my vintage sets and partial sets are not high grade, I thought this would be a cool way to collect. Easy to store as well (Stack them on shelves)
--Not to the point of rubberbands and regular shoeboxes, but using the supplies I mentioned.
Anybody store their sets this way, is there any other old school methods you use.
Another option would be using top loaders for all of the cards, or just the stars, but do not know whether it is worth it -- when I look at my collection, I tend to be careful with them, but of course this would provide the best protection.
Just looking to change it up a bit and getting away from binders.
How do some of you non-binder guys store your collection?
Also, wouldn't mind hearing some stories of those of you who collected in the 50's and 60's stored your collection, I imagine rubber bands were put on them and in regular shoeboxes? Scrapbooks? tacked to the wall?
