Best long term storage for vintage

[jchcollins]

I was excited about the Pro-Mold one screw, but was dismayed to find that the cards slide around in them. Stick with what is simple - either Card Saver I’s, or they do make vintage sized penny sleeves and top loaders. I like these options better because you can stack cards and don’t necessarily have to be super careful as with a graded slab. If you scratch up a top loader over time you can just replace it. All of my graded cards are protected by a sleeve over those as well.

Funny - do you realize that when they are donated baseball card collections at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, the first thing they do is get rid of the plastic and bust cards out of slabs. They are concerned that the long long term effects of these materials decomposing on cardboard are unknown. I guess they are concerned with preserving cards hundreds of years into the future - while my selfish concern is only the next few decades...

Yep, a professional archive - especially one with a bit of money- looks at things on a totally different sort of time scale than everyone else. I know the basics of that storage, but the cost and extra space are a serious challenge. (Not to mention the climate control)

I store my cards in : sleeves, top loaders and then put the cards in my "Kakapopo B3 case".

I feel it's perfect for storage, accessibility and maneuverability (travels well). And it looks nice.
