tobacco and caramel cards in binders

[Luke]

I always enjoy seeing pictures that people post on here of their sets/collections in binders. I really like the way tobacco cards look in those 15 card pages. I keep my e120 set in a binder, as well as a raw e95 set I'm working on. I use top-loaders because I like to move my cards around when I add a new one, and I'm paranoid about damaging them.

Let's see some cards in binders!

[milkit1]

Awesome!

[wolf441]

Nice Luke!

I really like the look and the album type. I use the 15 per page sheets for my raw tobacco cards. I never thought of using a larger size and keeping the cards in top loaders.

[autograf]

No quick photos as I'm at work but I have almost all my nonsports N and T cards in those nostalgia slipcover albums. The 10 cards per page pages have just a little more room in them than the Ultrapro 15 cards per page pages do, so you don't get any tight fits. I like your BB solution using the toploaders in the 6 cards per page pages. I've got maybe 20-25 of those Nostalgia albums but you can't get them anymore as Murraycards went out of business. At least I've not been able to find the same sized ones.

Nice pictures Luke and Steve. Thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately most of my E9x cards are in toploaders stored in boxes cuz they are too big for 15 pocket but too loose for 9 pocket. Wish they had 12 pocket with 3 rows of 4

I use Archival Methods binders with slip case and am happy. Those Nostalgia ones look beautiful!

Sorry for all the photos, I guess I got a little excited. Thought I took like 5 haha. Next thing I know ...

Rob

[tiger8mush]

the rest ...

[gregr2]

WOW Rob, impressive collection!

[Luke]

Rob, WOW!!!

Tom, there is still a company in England that sells Nostalgia products, but they don't ship overseas, so that makes it tricky for most of us. Steve, that's a pretty awesome single page!

[tiger8mush]

Thanks for the kind words Greg and Luke. Honestly there are a LOT of open spaces to fill in those sheets, so I have the rest of my life to try to fill 'em haha. Seeing pics from your collections is what keeps me going!

Rob

[Jobu]

Rob, the only thing you have to apologize for is not posting enough photos!

Let me know if you find yourself looking at the page with the T213-1 and T216 and thinking "You know, this page is just too full."

Wow Rob,

Those are some really great looking albums!!!

[tiger8mush]

Bryan, Pete, and Steve ... you'll notice that page is quite bare. Feel free to help me fill it up

p.s. thanks again guys!

[caramelcard]

Rob,

Your collection rocks! What good is it if you can't share it once in awhile right?

Looks great.

Rob

[FrankWakefield]

Very Nice.

Thanks for posting that!

Obvious bunch of Walter Johnsons... I like the horizontal Cracker Jacks, the Old Mill red border cards are honored to be in that book (Angermeier portrait, Frankfort, series 6 looks good), a stock certificate, Old Judge cards galore...

And a great bunch of slips!!!! I applaud you!!!

Those cards have great eye appeal bunched in the binders; imagine a bunch of slabs in sleeves in binders, nonsense!!!

Thank you.

[paul]

Love seeing those raw cards!

[npa589]

I never shy away from showing this one...

These are all in binders, I love the nostalgia --- and especially love that someone had a binder that stated this obvious reason for collecting in binders... Ha!

[gregr2]

Very impressive Nate!!

[sniffy5]

Sick collection Rob. Extremely cool on so many levels!!

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Rob that is fantastic, I found that if I don't have them in albums I don't get to enjoy them as much!

[ValKehl]

Really nice cards/collections everyone!!

Rob, do I really spy a Lou Gertenrich without back damage?
Val

[Jantz]

Wow!

Nice collections everyone!

After seeing Dan's T206 collection a few years ago, not a single day has gone by without me struggling with the urge to crack all my cards out and put them in a binder. I've resisted thus far.

This photo shows some of Lionel Carter's T206 collection in its original state. I was fortunate enough to get one of the cards shown.

Jantz

[Wite3]

One of many many sheets of T205s...kept in a nice binder.

so that's where all of the larry doyles went!!!!!

[tiger8mush]

Rob A, Frank, Tom and Mike thanks for the kind words, I'm humbled! I know you guys have some raw cards as well (caramels, T210 sets, CJs), don't be shy

Val, yes'r, I do have one Gertenrich w/o back damage. The others have the usual back damage but I love them no less. BTW lets see some of those WaJo's!!!

Nate, awesome picture of Cubs T206s! But I think we're gonna need some evidence of the binders j/k

Jantz, can't imagine the time it took for Mr. Carter to create those custom albums for his collection. Thanks for sharing the picture.

Joshua, neat page of Doyles! Back run or just hoarding them?

[LuckyLarry]

I bought a T206 reprint set and loaded it into 15 pocket sheets. When I get an original I replace the reprint. It's a fun way to collect the set! Four reprints remain on this page.


Larry

[gregr2]

Hadn't thought of that Larry, that is an interesting way of doing it.

[btcarfagno]

Holy my freaking goodness!! The stuff!!

Seeing them in binders makes me imagine showing up at a flea market and someone having a binder full of T-cards. I would never get to know the price, as I would have a stroke before I ever got the chance.

[Wite3]

Michael,
I actually own 13 more than I showed!

Joshua

PS Doyle is one of my favorites but they are readily available and rather common.

[LuckyLarry]

And to think I've actually seen this collection!

[whelenfan]

After looking over these great collections, I think that I would love to start putting my modest collection into a binder too.

I really like using the t206 reprint set as a template and replacing the reprints with the real deal!

Joshua,
I agree. I really like the national leaguers better than the american league cards. It is really cool seeing that many of one card.

I think that I may go "old school" and store my t205's in pages by teams!

Who knows?

These type threads usually convert a collector or two!!!

Praaaaaaaaaaaise... the RAW!!!

[Jobu]

I have never held a flip out of the slab. Is there any danger in ink transfer or staining by putting the flip in a page so that it is touching the back of the cards as Larry has done?

[FrankWakefield]

The slips are stable, they aren't going to stain a card. They might if you added oil, gasoline, alcohol, or something like that. But dry and touching the slip won't affect the card.

One neat aspect with the ungraded cards in a binder is that you can take out all of a certain team, then lay them out by series. You can see "Cubs" on the jerseys of the of the 150 series cards, and the eventual transition to "Chicago" down the front of the 460 series. It's much better than a Beckett-like alphabetical sorting, oblivious of team designation.

2x2, 3x3, 3x5, 4x5, who cares, as long as they fit !!!

BTW, Luke, American Tobacco cards in an English (Nostalgia) binder is kind of revolutionary !!!!

[Joem36]

Here is some of my stamped backs in sheets.

[tiger8mush]

Nice binders Mr. Gross and Joe!

[ullmandds]

nice everyone...sadly only a small portion of my collection is still raw and in binders...mostly non sports and yankee postcards...and the heft of my monster #!

photographic evidence that Pete collects the monster!!!

[Luke]

Scott and Joe: Nice binders my friends! I never thought about the English binder being kind of funny. I agree now that you mention it

[buymycards]

This thread makes me want to open my slabs and put my cards in binders. Who cares about pop reports and registries?

Amen!

[Jason Carota]

Can I sneak a binder of M cards in here?




The standard 9 pocket pages let the cards move too much, so I use the Ultra Pro Mini 9 Pocket pages (3 1/8 X 2 1/4.)

[Tao_Moko]

I like the 20 card sheets but love all cards in binders. I never hesitate to put any card of any value in them.

[tiger8mush]

Jason and Eric, great pics!

[ullmandds]

ha ha...not just any monster cards...only the rarest of rare backs!!!

[HappyJack41]

Lionel Carter style.....very nice! Great photos boys

[rdixon1208]

I have a small but growing collection that I keep in a binder. I use card savers cut down to size to fit inside 9 pocket pages. This keeps my cards tight and protected but allows me to move them around safely.

[the 'stache]

Beautiful cards, gentlemen.

BTW, it looks like somebody is selling ten of the Murray Cards Nostalgia binders on eBay right now.

Link clicky

I don't know the seller, so I can't vouch for their service. Just passing the info along to somebody who might be interested in picking these up.

Of course, I only learn about Murray Cards now that they have gone out of business. Just like M.J. Roop (thankfully, Box Factory makes the same boxes now).

Any other companies making really great stuff to store cards that I need to know about, guys, you know, before they go out of business?
