Storing sets ? - 1958 and 1959

[gnpaden]

I am at hard spot trying to determine how to store my sets - I currently have each card in top loader with penny sleeve, however, I like to look at my sets. With that being said, a lot of the 1959's are in the 6-7 range, so do not want to ding corners, etc. While it's personal preference... How do you store your mid grade sets in the 50's?

If you'd like to look at them, maybe a binder? My understanding is that they make binder pages of various sizes, and you can get ones (maybe four or six cards per page, I can't remember), that will store your cards without you having to take them out of the top loaders.

You can store them at my house.

I basically do the same thing. ALL are in a penny sleeve, but only the ones over 'some-dollar-amount-that-I-can't-remember' are in top loaders. They are then stored by sets in 2 row shoe boxes. For higher mid-grade sets, I think this provides the best economically feasible protection. And since yours are all in top loaders, you can take them out and play with them as well.

In storing, as with collecting, there is no 'wrong' way.

I do something similar for certain sets.....penny sleeves....top loaders....stored in US military, water proof 50 Cal military ammo boxes as a final measure of protection which cost about $15-20 each. The 7.62mm boxes perfectly fit about 100 graded cards and the 50 Cal boxes hold the remainder.

Very good storage system....for minimal cost.

Gosh Zach, if a terrorist breaks into your house he may be real mad when he gets home and finds he has a bunch of baseball cards instead of amo
