T206 storage? Albums, top loaders or slabs?

I would have to pick "All of the above", but that wasn't an option in your poll.

Although I will say again that no words can describe a T206 set in a binder.

Is there such thing as sleeves that can hold top loaders?

Ultra pro use to sell binder sleeves that held PSA slabs, those were great but they discontinued them for some reason.

Ultra-Pro's 4-pocket postcard pages hold top loaders just fine. The slots are a bit on the roomy side, but are also big enough to hold slabbed cards. Because PSA slabs are a little thinner than SGC/BVG slabs, they actually fit better in those pages. I posted a pic a few weeks ago of a 4-pocket page with a mix of SGC and PSA slabbed cards in it.

I am surprised to report that over 73% of respondents either prefer albums or top loaders. Honestly, when I made this poll I thought that would be the likely % of "slabs" seems like grading is uber popular here.

I have almost always stored my pre-war in ultra pro toploaders. However, if I was a set collector I might prefer albums. They are easy to look at that way...

Couldn't agree more, Jantz. Another vote for raw cards in a binder.

Here is my full set of 205s in top loaders and attached to my wall. The room is humidity controlled with no outside light. They have been on that wall for over ten years with no damage to the cards.

are those thumbtacks through the top loaders?

that looks really nice btw, down here in south mississippi I wouldn't dare do that, too many storms mean lost power and 99% humidity days during hurricane season. I'd be constantly putting it up and taking it down.

Yes, those are thumb tacks through the top loaders on a soft felt board background. I guess Minnesota has a little drier climate most of the year.
