tobacco and caramel cards in binders

[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?

Reviving this thread, because I never got around to posting in it the first time. Most of my T and E cards are in toploaders, but some are in these 18-pocket pages that I got back around 1993 and filled up soon after. In the first one I made a nice display of T206 backs, though even at the time I think I had more backs that didn't fit in the display. On the left side I put the 150-350-460 versions of Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, and Sovereign, then on the right side I put the A-B-C brands (American Beauty, Broadleaf, Cycle), all of them 350 versions with borders, and below that six of the "Assorted"/"Assortment" brands. I probably didn't have a Carolina Brights yet at the time.

In the second picture are some of my T209 through T212s. This may have been all I had at the time I put together the page, though I now have more of all of them, especially T210s and T212s (of which I have more than 50 each).

very cool david! I'd love to know whose on the fronts from that 3rd pic of d's/t's, etc!!!!

I used to have a bunch of strip cards with that same writing/text(l.a. becker) on the back!

very nice, thanks for sharing David. Do they still make the 18-card pages?

After reading this thread, I would just like to say, I hate you all!!!

Those are awesome. You are almost a type card collector with all of those different series. Thanks for sharing..

Pete -- Here is the front of that page, below. I had some E79 Prize Fighter Caramels in there, because I didn't have enough miscellaneous T-size baseball cards at the time. That wouldn't be a problem now.

Rob G. -- I'm pretty sure those 18-pocket pages are no longer made, and these have no manufacturer named on them. I got these around 1993 at AU Sports in Skokie, Illinois, which is still around but moved a few years ago to Niles.

thanks David! I think I may have t215 type i schulte...if that's possible?

I also have one of these 15-pocket pages made by Rotman, into which I put some of my Old Judges about 15 years ago, back when I only had 10 Old Judges (plus five Old Judge actresses). I love these pages because they allow much more room and are easier to load and unload than the Ultra-Pro 15-pocket pages, which are a tight fit for T cards and too narrow for a lot of E cards, such as E95s. (Actually, I also have my T59 Flags of All Nations set in these pages, because those cards are also too wide for the UltraPro pages.) I got this page at a card show in the 90s when I bought the last card in the page, but Rotman appears to have gone out of business years ago, and I've never been able to find more of these pages.

Wow... what a beautiful thread. Having just started the monster a few months ago (at 140 cards so far...), my binder looks bleak compared to these amazing photos!

Good to see so many wonderful raw cards!

David- how do you display/store all of your trade cards?

And I love cards in albums over cards in plastic cases any day. Kudos to the collectors who still do it raw!
