Default Storage?

Would be curious to know how you all prefer to store your cards these days...

For most of my vintage star singles (1950's and 60's) that are not graded cards, I've got everything in Card Saver I's anymore. I used to have a fairly thick collection of cards in screw-downs, but have found that to be mostly a hassle for not much more real necessary protection - as I don't move the cards around that often, and am pretty careful when looking at them. Does anyone use pages / albums anymore outside of sets?

Anything else I'm not thinking of? Does anyone else put Brooklyn Dodger cards in folded zip-lock bags and then tack them to your wall a la Rocky Dennis in the movie MASK?

-John

I've been moving my singles from top loaders to semi rigid. Huge space saver.

I applied both rubber bands and thumb tacks to 1986 Topps cards as a 9 year-old...

Sets in binders, good cards in top loaders in my "big display case"(holds 390 cards), and HOFer collection in screw downs then in custom display cases like the one pictured in my aviator.
