The bookcases are store bought. The inside spaces are 28 1/2" by 13"
Oddly it matters if you use newer Ultra Pro binders or older. The older ones are 1/4" wider. That means you can only fit nine on a shelf (notice the bottom shelf with the 90's sets). The other shelves above it can hold ten sets ( an entire decade)
My collection has actual cards of a Hall of Fame ( or calibre) player on the front
, unless the card would be too big (52-56). Those are Topps issued reprints.
My run is complete through 2022. The binder with the 59 Fleer actually holds all the Fleer sets from 59 through the 71 World Series set. The 1/2" binders hold smaller sets like 54 Red Man, 53 Johnston Cookies, 60 Leaf etc.
The fun one is that Cubs binder in the lower right,. It has autographed pictures of every player from the 1969 Cubs team. If they played in a game that year their autograph is there
The rest are various odd ball sets that I've taken a liking to.
