Would you recommend the Platinum sheet or am I’m just over thinking this? Storing fairly high-condition 1960’s and early 1970’s sets. Earlier cards are in more modest condition.

2. The more important question for us that store our cards in the 3 D-Ring binders is what potentially damage to we need to mindful of?

Thank you in advance for any input
One issue to guard against is curling of the sheets, and potential damage to the cards on the bottom, if a binder isn't held tightly closed when placed upright. If the binder covers open up under the weight of the contents, the binder can tip forward a bit and the front of the sheets can come in contact with the shelf the binder is sitting on. Binder cases can help prevent this.
