Best way to store 1933 Goudeys

[batkidiii]

I would like to know the best way to store ungraded 1933 Goudeys. Which do you prefer, Top Loaders, binder and pages, screw downs? Any advice would be appreciated.

I used to have them in top loaders.

Then, about a dozen years ago, I moved them into 9 pocket sheets in a ring binder.

A year ago I sold about half of mine. What I have left is in a stack unto themselves, in a small box, in a safety deposit box. No loaders, no sleeves, just a simple stack of cards.

I've always used top loaders for my Goudeys.

I just put mine in binders with 9 pocket sheets. Great way to look at them when you want to. I have heard some horror stories about screw-downs but have never used them so can't really support those stories.

Just make sure you are able to enjoy them!

I'm in the same boat (having never used screwdowns) - but the stories are enough to scare me away.

What kind of scary storys about screwdowns have you heard?

When tightened too much they can flatten the card or make indentations, or worse, after years of storage, they can pull a card in two when removal is attempted.

Or so I've heard. Again I've never used one.

I store my set in penny sleeves (do these still cost a penny?), in a standard 9-pocket page, in a binder. About a dozen have been graded. I keep those in the same binder, in 4-pocket pages in the front of the binder.

As an alternative, if you want more protection, those same 4-pocket pages can hold the cards when they are in either a top loader or a semi-rigid holder.
