Nice collection Brian! Why Jim Kiick? Why 186? Why Why?

I don't have the answer - I'm just responding because it did remind me that for the past several holidays, I've been sorting cards from my childhood collection most of which were stored in those exact white boxes and I did notice some curvature.... I'd be interested if anyone else has an opinion, but when storing large quantities of cards, I think there will always be some compromises.....If every card had to be handled like a million dollar Honus Wagner - the hobby would probably add stress which I think is counter to what hobbies are supposed to do
