Storing 52 topps and larger issues?

[ivanrf1]

Hey guys im new on here and love the community. I was just wondering how you guys stored your '52 topps and larger and smaller issues like '48 bowman and such. Is there a way to store them in a 5 row monster box? Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Thanks!

I store my non-graded ones in either Card Saver I or Card Saver II (larger issues like '52-'56 Topps) in two row Shoeboxes. Seems to work great for me.
5 row Monster Box is too much weight for me when full.

Thanks for the input anyone else?

I keep my mostly ungraded 1952 set in a binder in 8 pocket sheets. Same with my Topps 1953 to 1956 sets. The five 1951 sets require a mixed sheet approach. But there are sheets to fit virtually any ungraded card...and some graded..3 pocket and 2 pocket.

ungraded 52's in a binder as well, I was afraid to admit it

I dont really want to stick them in a binder. Anyone have any ideas

I keep my raw, more expensive cards in penny sleeves, card savers and 4-pocket ultrapro pages.

Oh the card savers fit into the pages? And does anyone use the vintage toploaders?

I have a lot of oversized cards. I buy toploaders that fit each of them and then line the cards up in a shoe box. Nothing fancy, but it works for me.

I place my '52 - '56 Topps Baseball cards in vintage card sleeves and then put them in vintage card size toploaders. As for storage, they fit in the same (two or three row) boxes that I store my 1957 - Present material.

Here is a picture of the packaging from the sleeves and toploaders. I have found it helpful to include this image when sending emails to supply dealers and asking if they have the item in stock. Ultra Pro uses slightly different packaging for the sleeves these days; however, the UPC Bar Code is still the same.



As for a five row "Monster Box," I cannot fit toploaders in any of the ones I have. They are great for modern cards in soft sleeves, though...and complete sets in 800 count boxes (or 400 count, etc.)

Hope this helps. Happy collecting!

Best Regards,

Eric
