I store my T210's in a binder using Ultra Pro Tobacco pages (15 pocket.)

(Rob D.) That, my friend, is a thing of beauty.

I've been trying to figure out the best way to store my newly acquired homemade vintage card collection. I have packs of standard sized penny sleeves and top loaders, but the tiny (1.25" x 2") cards just get lost in there. I'll have to search out these mini top loaders and the nice case.

Thanks for the photos (Rob D & Steve B) - very inspiring.

I do have some graded (like from Lionel Carter Collection)cards that I store in boxes, but my raw tobacco cards I keep in the 15-pocket sheets in the binders above from Archival Methods. The binders are more expensive than my cards haha (around $45 w/the slip case) but I think they look nice and keep dust away etc.

I remember seeing that box Scott, pretty cool that you kept it.

I store my graded and raw cards in Peligan cases. The big case was $160 and the smaller case was $36.

10 pocket pages from Martin Murray in 2 ring binder albums, just like the collectors across the pond.

Does the case come with the foam and you cut it yourself, or is that extra?

From a recent Ebay ad about PWCC Auctions, I found a link to these cases from Card Case Pro and I will be purchasing one. They look to be really well built.



Anyone have experience with them?

I bought the case from someone on here a few years back. I told him I had SGC Cards and made the foam to fit it. I might still have the e-mail. The small case has the pluck small squares, which I have been pulling out to fit the number of my raw cards.

This is the way to go, I use pelican cases to store many items beyond cards.
