Do you prefer binders or boxes?
Do you prefer storing your collection in binders or in top loaders/card savers in a box? Looking for ideas and thoughts on this. Thanks

I prefer boxes. Binders have too many opportunities for bends for me?

I would prefer binders that hold #1 size card savers, but until someone here starts marketing those, I am keeping my cards in double shoeboxes.

The real "purists" would argue someone who just collect cards.....would use a rubber band. Myself, box is best. Too many issues with the cards sticking to the pages and digging corners putting them up

Binders.
As a set collector I love leaving empty pockets in the pages for the cards I still need. Its so satisfying to fill those empty spots in one by one, you can actually see your progress with every card you get. Sets in a box don’t give you that feeling - a box with 386 cards in it looks the same as one with 385 in it…..

Binders for my sets, two row 'shoe boxes' for anything else including extras.

Binders went out for me as a kid. Just too much stuff that is not necessarily part of a set or tightly grouped collection, and for whatever reason as an adult collector - I like stacks and piles and flipping and random organization; playing with my cards - better than I do the tight order of a binder.
My slabs are all in one box for slabs. My cards in One Touches or other mags are all in another box. My cards still only in toploaders or card savers are in a 3rd and 4th box. Even my 1971 Topps complete set, yes all 752 of them - are in two boxes full of toploaders. The expense might not make sense, (the weight of the boxes sure doesn’t) but I simply didn’t want them in a binder. It’s fair to say that I have an extreme dislike of binders these days. I know, I know - they never really did anything to me… Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

A while back, I decided to start getting more organized by putting all of the tons of random cards I have (in myriad boxes) in order by year, to make life a bit 'easier.' Ha!!! Biggest mistake evah, I tell you!!!!! Who the heck wants to flip through stacks of cards that are unnecessarily arranged in chronological order????? Those are the makings of a lunatic!!!! To paraphrase good old Patrick (wonder if his friends just called him Pat?) Henry, "Give me randomness or give me death!!!"

But generally when I do this, I put the cards in order by year and number in the set. I do enjoy the organization. I just don't want it to be permanent and inflexible.
