T206 storage? Albums, top loaders or slabs?

bbcard1 · #1 07-30-2016, 08:40 AM

There are precious few parts of my collection that I am happy with the organization and display, but this is one of them. Probably twenty years ago or more I bought an antique patterns set of drawers from a retiring optometrist...It was probably $10 or so. It's not too large. (sorry for the upside down post).

It accommodates standard top loaders, which I like. I don't like how T206s flop around in the top loaders but I was able to come up with some inserts I like that I think help the cards stand out (most of my set would average G, with some highlights going to EX and the lowlights (Ohara/Demmitt) a clear P.

I put each in a top loader with an insert and then package them in a team set bag and alphabetize them. Easy access, fast to find. I can get a full 520 set in a relatively small storage area. If I ever decide to sell of the higher grade or major HOFers of course i would have them graded, but the idea of having a 500+ card set in slabs would take up an inordinate amount of room.

A fully slabbed monster weighs less than 100 pounds. Since I have been looking at my cards daily, I have been able to cancel my gym membership.

I collect raw n rough T206 cards and until this week I had them all in toploaders in my safe. I decided to change them out and into a binder which is what I keep my Goudey, Topps and Exhibits are kept in. My other cards seem to remain intact in a binder so I figured the 206 beaters will also. I really prefer cards in a binder instead of bulky toploaders.

All of my T205's and 206's (not that many) are slabbed. I like the idea of scanning the slabs, cropping the cards from the scans and putting them in a binder.
