I only look at the sets I have in binders. But I also don't put a set in a binder unless it's almost complete, otherwise they are in boxes. I never look at the cards in the boxes until they get to the binder. Not sure about others, but that's me.

I have my sets in half top shoe boxes, with each card in a hard top loader. I like it this way so can add to the collection with out moving the cards around or keeping gaps in the collection like you would in binders. I can manipulate the cards anyway i like them. I look at them, especially since I put a lot of time and work into compiling the respective set.

I sort of have the best of both worlds. My graded cards are all in boxes, but since I've scanned the front and backs of each and created digital albums (thanks PSA!), I can view them anytime I want from the comfort of .... well, anywhere.

My as-God-intended-them-to-be cards are in binders (front and back visible), so those are easy to leaf through as well, but I don't tend to since that would require me getting up from my comfortable place.

To tell you that Larry he would have to get out of his comfortable place and go look.

Plus he has unopened packages in his basement from 1962

I definitely think it is better to have sets in binders. You look at them more and it just looks more like a library when you have all of the sets archived. I have complete Topps sets from 2017 down to 1964 with all of the traded and update sets. I have them organized on the shelves and really like them that way.

I have my sets in binders going back to the 1930's. If a card is part of a set that I have no intention to complete, then I will keep it in a box (which usually means that the card is graded). The only cards I keep in boxes are duplicates.
