Show how you store your cards

[jchcollins]

I have slabs in shoeboxes and stacks of toploaders in a closet. I could probably stand to get a bit more organized, but it's never been a huge priority. I am not a fan of albums in general, just because of how many of them I had as a kid - and it seemed they always got messy and were a hassle. I am doing a '72 set in card savers and toploaders, which is probably insane.

Right now my storage for my (still small) HOF collection is a bunch of toploaders in a box. It's very unsatisfying in that basically my interaction with them is limited to opening the package from eBay, saying "nice, that's a cool card" (or occasionally "dammit, it has a crease that was hidden"), and putting it in the box. I want to get more enjoyment out of them.

I don't think binders are the way to go for me, though - I have memories from when I was a kid of trying to put a card in a sheet pocket maybe a little too quickly at the wrong angle and creasing it across the entire front.
