Storing or displaying round cards.

[Jcfowler6]

I’ve recently completed a set of round cards. Lots of double too. Not sure how to store or display these.

Any ideas or examples out there?

I believe they fit just nicely into 4 pocket pages. But if you're looking to display some separately on a shelf or elsewhere, your options are limited and you'll probably be stuck having to use oversized top loaders. Really isn't anything made specifically for them.

Are all of those just Isaly's/Sweet William discs, or do you have some of the other distributor's discs as well? There are quite a few different companies that put out the discs. They usually aren't overly expensive, but most of the different distributors were regional companies so some of the distributors/brands may be a little harder to find than most, but not ridiculously tough. I think they are very neat items, especially the Pepsi discs which were perforated and included as part of a large insert as if the discs, which look like baseballs, were sitting in the pocket of a baseball glove that had a really long tab below the glove that was then stuck/inserted into one of the slots in a 6 or 8 pack carton of bottled Pepsi back in the day. When you bought the carton of Pepsi you'd just pull out the insert with the glove and tab and just punch out the disc along the perforations so they'd end up looking just like the Isaly's discs you've got. These mid-70s disc sets includes some great 70s players, and because of their round shape, you can generally find them in really nice condition.

They are not expensive. Which I great cuz I find them fun. What I pictured above is a complete set of Isaly’s I completed not long ago. I have a bunch of doubles.

I do have some others. Like these Pepsi ones.

The smaller Tony Perez one is fun with the coveted Mrs. Fangburger back.

Personally I display in top loaders; look pretty good that way to me.

As far as storage i have some boxes like these that I use for my 1976 Crane Discs.

It holds one set in a box nicely.

For a spur of the moment need, how about an old, cleaned-up Pringles can?

I went around to a few craft stores looking for options. I’d like to eventually put the set in pages. For my doubles I made this.

Hey Jon,

Funny thing, was going through some old bottles and cans and came across an empty can container for Pirouline creme filled wafers. The wafer part is hollow like a straw and they are filled with chocolate or some kind of creme filling. Anyway, the cans these are sold in are round, about 6-1/2" high, and the perfect diameter to store MSA discs in. If not for this thread, I never would have thought about trying it to see if they fit. The nice part is they are metal, so maybe a little sturdier than the card board tubes. And the cap is metal also and just snugly fits on the top. Thought I'd pass that on for anyone else looking to store MSA discs in something other than a binder. Not sure where these are sold, but you can probably check online. The brand name on the can is pirouline. And they make a nice candy/treat you can give to the wife/girlfriend, and then you can use the empty container for yourself. Just an FYI.

I’ve had those before. Never thought of those canisters working. The wife just had some of the pumpkin flavored ones. I will have to try those.

Yeah, who would have thought. I already have a small stack of MSA discs sitting in the can I found. Good stuff!
