new set collector dilemma...

[whelenfan]

Alright, I am quickly gaining on my t205 set (up to 15 cards!) and now I am at a crossroads - how to store them? I am a solid fr-g card collector with upwards limit of vg-ish and will more than likely not get any slabbed cards, so do I store them in hard case protectors or sheets? What do others here do?

I also use these top loaders for my raw t205s work well for me

Yeah, Conor and John are right. I tried a larger screwdown when I first started collecting t206, and they were too bulky and hard to flip through. The little tobacco top loaders give you the option of putting them in 9 card pages and into a binder, which you might decide to do down the road. Here's a picture of some t206 in my 6 page binder:

thanks for the ideas! I think that what has been posted so far is what I may decide to do, since I do like to look through them. I will admit that I do like to "feel" them so that is one of the reasons that I don't foresee any graded entering into my collection.

Those are cool binders, Luke. I've never seen anything like those before.

Michael, I use these pages. They are fused slightly smaller than regular 9 pocket pages and they fit the tobacco top loaders perfectly.

15-pocket top loader sheets for me.

Thanks Conor. I got my first one from Rob A. They were originally sold by a company called Murray Cards, and then when Murray closed their doors, they transferred the Nostalgia album sales to a company called Colin Narbeth and Son LTD in London. The binders come with your choice of different album pages and a slipcase. Their prices are very reasonable, but they don't ship overseas.

A friend on the forum who lives in London got me my second one (thanks agains Martin ). If enough people on this forum asked them about shipping overseas, I wonder if they might see the merit in it.

Here is a picture of my E120 set in their 8-pocket pages:

Bought 9 pocket sleeves with black background. The T205 colors pop with it. Cards are in plastic sleeves taped to back so they stay uniform.
